@george1421 I will take a look at that on monday when i get back to work. HALF DAY fridays woot!
Yeah i honestly think that with the the coming up refreshes i might be able to get away with all uefi booting seeing as how all of the new machines will be uefi enabled. hell it might be for the better. I will still test the BIOS boot on the UEFI devices to see and report back so that other people can see what has been done and if it eventually worked
@george1421 @Tom-Elliott I tried the IPXE.pxe file and the boot returns a “DHCP failed… rebooting in 12 sec”
i have been trying to understand how the guy got his to work in this thread as well.

Also for shiz and giggles i tried the UEFI boot Even if i have to use it for the time being to get these 25 “2-in-1” done and then go back to the drawing board with one of them and test the bios boot. I used both snponly.efi and snp.efi they both worked. I got to FOG and told it to register the host and it returned the following.
UPDATE*** Changed the bootfile to IPXE.efi and it registered. Going to try to upload an image and I will let you all know what happens.
I have also been reading the thread/how to on the coexistence of uefi and bios booting. I am one of those people who has to deal with a 2008 server soo i will play around with that at a later time for you guys and see what happens. As of right now I would still like to get the BIOS boot files to work with these machines and will continue testing one of the laptops with pxe files, the others however, I am just going to uefi and switch the bootfile back when done
Ok so the ones on the other side of the dumb switch get to the FOG screen, however now they hang at the loading of the bz.image
all stuck at 0%
@Tom-Elliott was using the undionly.kkpxe at the time this happened.
@Wayne-Workman yes they are if I remember correctly. All on same vlan as well
@george1421 you sir are correct, they are catalyst. I will try the dumb switch when i get back to work in the morning.
First off, I just have to say that i have set up FOG basically having no super Linux background until recently when i decided to go against my colleagues and tell Ghost to shove it. My other laptops and desktops deploy just fine. However this Dell latitude 7275 2-in1 laptop. It uses the the Realtek 8153 USB-C adapter. I have done my searching and realized that the Realtek 8153 has worked with the undionly.kkpxe and that is what I’m using.
I have turned off my UEFI boot for the time being as I don’t feel like dealing with that side since some of my other machines do not use UEFI. I have tried just about every pxe in my the dang /TFTPboot folder and still nothing. The funny thing is if i restart and run it again sometimes it will go up in percentage and then freeze again and the more i restart the higher it gets until i just wont go anymore.
I am using trunk 7721 w/ kernel 4.5.3
I am sure that I am leaving something out, but i don’t know. I have been at this issue for about 4 days now. Any input appreciated!
