@george1421 As i’m behind a proxy i think there is a problem to download kernel from web interface.
But proxy is configured in FOG settings; Proxy Settings

Then i followed this :

cd /var/www/fog/service/ipxe
mv bzImage bzImage.orig
wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage
mv bzImage32 bzImage32.orig
wget https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage32
mv init.xz init.xz.orig
wget https://fogproject.org/inits/init.xz
mv init_32.xz init_32.xz.orig
wget https://fogproject.org/inits/init_32.xz

It’s the latest kernel !!
Is it OK for you?

Thanks a lot again.

@george1421
In fact here is the situation.
The only problem i have is with uefi local boot.
i tried Exit Sanboot REFIND_EFI without success.
Is there a way to solve that?

@george1421
Hello,
i found this in the forum:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12115/dell-optiplex-3050-avec-windows-10-uefi/6
Then i made a try by modify the “/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/refind.conf” file

# scanfor internal,hdbios

Now it works :
After the PXE boot menu
It display refind logo
then it display "Pausing before disk scan; please wait…
It display 2 time dell logo
at the third time : It launch windows 10.

Could you explain me why :

• Could you explain me why it works now ?
• It display “Pausing before disk scan; please wait…”, while i disabled it

# scanfor internal,hdbios

• Why it display 3 times the DELL logo ?

Thanks for your help

@george1421
Do you think i should upgrade FOG to the latest version ?
I’m using fog 1.5.0
Is there some risks to upgrade to 1.5.4 ?
Thanks

@george1421

If i dont boot PXE it boot well
if i boot directly on hard disk it boot well

@george1421

After the PXE boot menu
It display refind logo
then scan disk
It display 2 time dell logo
at the third time :
DELL logo and preparation of the automatic repair

@george1421 I’m not really sure but i think this is the problem

Actually on the global level :
exit mode for bios is sanboot
exit mode uefi is exit.

On the host level configuration, i tryed :
Exit : “chainloading failed…” error message.
Sanboot : loop on the main menu
REFIND_EFI : It seems that the partitions choosen is the repair partition

What kind of informations do you need to help me ?

Thanks for your answers

FOG 1.5.0

Hello,
i’ve got again the same problem with uefi computer (Dell).
Before it was possible to use legacy boot with internal device, with new computer Dell, it’s impossible now to use internal device.
Then i have to use UEFI settings.

The computer boot PXE correctly and i’ve got the PXE menu.
Everything works fine except “Boot from hard disk”.
When i choose “Boot from hard disk”, i’ve got the “chainloading failed…” error message.

For this host, i tryed :
Exit : no success
Sanboot : no success
REFIND_EFI : no success

Have you got a solution for that ?

Thanks for your help

@sebastian-roth
I tryed with different type without success.
Then i configured all computers with legacy boot.
Then no more problem

@sebastian-roth @Quazz
I tryed
Sanboot : loop in menu
REFIND_EFI : launch a strange windows and stuck on dell logo
exit : chainloading failed…

Do i have to try GRUB option ?

GRUB_FIRST_HDD : loop in menu
GRUB_FIRST_FOUND_WINDOWS : loop in menu

@quazz
Hello and thanks for your answer
Here is actually the configuration for the host

What i have to modify ?

As i saw that host had this message : host is pending approval
I was able to approve it (qwerty keyboard…)
Then i can see the dell computer in fog and see that it has more than one Mac address.
Could it be the problem ?
