      @Mr_____T Well, I have discovered a work around. According to our consultant, the legacy wrapper message in the 1st or 2nd image was kinda the key. the X360 has no wired nic port and the usb nic adabter is recognized as a legacy booting device. But the unit only boots efi. I followed this link for starters:

      Kernel runtime parameter:

      Next I added the MAC addresses from each usb dongle I have available. Then, from the fog web interface:

      list all hosts
      Select the host
      Basic Tasks tab
      Deploy tab
      Task (I first checked debug and followed the bread crumbs no issues)
      Imaging commenced.

      This is quite a bit more work than I was hoping to do just to image one machine. I was hoping someone out there could come out of the fog (pun intended) and provide some feedback.

      So this is not solved. But a work around that does. If you got this far Tx

      Mr_____TM

      Just checking in here to Mark this as SOLVED. I had added the dev branch under a different folder. So the mix up was between the chair and the keyboard. Performed @Tom-Elliott Recommendations and reinstalled from my primary install and it is now working. trying to pxe boot MacBookPro’s. That’s another story, for another thread.

      @george1421 Hi,

      Thanks for your reply. Its strange. I am working with (almost exclusively) early 2012 hardware. My older Imacs 2009-2011 afaict pxe boot fine image with FOG w/o issue. The problem comes along when, I try to image our macbooks. They display different levels of progress before they flat out hang. I had one mbpx,y I’m almost sure it was a 3rd gen intel just can’t find it right now. I may be being processed to go out the door to our clients.

      Yes the 2019 verison of ipxe was executed from a boot of clonezill 3.1.x the version I would attempt to boot from ventory stick or from an imaged usb stick would display an error regarding not having efi capability and/or hang or return to the ventoy menu. If I just let them be long enough the MBP would just restart.

      So I did attempted to roll my own and ran into the same problem with the oobox downloadable iso/zip file. Hang… I am researching w/o much success with how clonezilla compiled their ipxe menu entry or how to just plain add efi capability to ipxe.iso/zip and burn it to a usb stick. I just am not knowledable enough to formulate a good question or find what I am looking for (cause I don’t know:))

      So thanks again for your reply. I have a large donations of older MBP’s coming just before the holidays and I would lik to be able to make it rain.

      Regards,

      Mr_____TM

      This thread is quite old. Just here to mark it solved. I did manage to set my isp’s router as the dhcp server and successfully captured an image.
      Thanks for all your suggestions and help.
