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

@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 ?

As you ask sometime to give the result of this command :
http://192.168.39.243/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=10:65:30:64:39:54

It’s the mac address of the problematic computer
Here is the result

I’ve got some problems to make works boot PXE UEFI.
I’ve got this problem with new dell lattitude 5580.

BIOS configuration :

Secure Boot - Secure Boot Enable - Disabled
Advanced Boot Options - Enable Legacy Option ROMs
System Configuration - Integrated NIC - Enable UEFI Network Stack - Enabled w/PXE
Boot Sequence -
     Onboard NIC (IPV4)
     Windows Boot Manager

I use FOG 1.5.0 (@IP : 192.168.39.243)
I dont use the DHCPD server of FOG but my own DHCPD server (isc-dhcp-server).
Before trying use UEFI PXE boot everything worked fine with only LEGACY .
I followed this article : https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Example_1
And then add to my dhcpd.conf these lines :

General options

option space PXE;
option PXE.mtftp-ip    code 1 = ip-address;
option PXE.mtftp-cport code 2 = unsigned integer 16;
option PXE.mtftp-sport code 3 = unsigned integer 16;
option PXE.mtftp-tmout code 4 = unsigned integer 8;
option PXE.mtftp-delay code 5 = unsigned integer 8;
option arch code 93 = unsigned integer 16; # RFC4578

Subnet options :

next-server 192.168.39.243;
 class "UEFI-32-1" {
    match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00006";
    filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi";
    }
    class "UEFI-32-2" {
    match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00002";
     filename "i386-efi/ipxe.efi";
    }
    class "UEFI-64-1" {
    match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00007";
     filename "ipxe.efi";
    }
    class "UEFI-64-2" {
    match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00008";
    filename "ipxe.efi";
    }
    class "UEFI-64-3" {
    match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00009";
     filename "ipxe.efi";
    }
    class "Legacy" {
    match if substring(option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 20) = "PXEClient:Arch:00000";
    #filename "undionly.kkpxe";
    filename "ipxe.pxe"; 
    }

The computer boot PXE correctly and i’ve got the PXE menu.
But after that when i choose “Boot from hard disk”, i’ve got the
“chainloading failed…” error message.
I cant understand what is the problem.
Does someone could help me ?

Does #fogimaging exist ? i try to connect on :

Cannot join to channel #fogimaging (You must be invited)
