@Tom-Elliott Yes, everything is working as expected, I don’t have to press escape to get into the menu, it partclones without any problems and performs a full reg.

Here is the return now with that included, I’ve also tried doing a new install on my UEFI machine and it went further into the menu until it crashed on cannot find disk on the system. I had to make a change in my BIOS and I’m now able to successfully install an image onto the machine. Everything completes with no errors.

So I’m getting an error when typing that in on my FOG database -
ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table ‘fog.global’ doesn’t exist

Rebelman

@Sebastian-Roth
Yes, I only have it booting to one FOG server, the picture shows the UEFI boot screen.

For as long as I have had FOG running, I’ve always had to press escape to get into the menu. I’ve never marked it to be hidden, at least not intentionally.

This is the link for the bootmenu.class.php file
Bootmenu

This is my menuAccess info you are also wanting.

And finally no, I don’t have any other models per say I have different machines I can test, we just bought a batch of computers for a new lab and all are the same model and specs. I can try to upgrade the firmware and see if that makes a difference.

I did the database maintenance and every line I put in on my server came back “Query OK, 0 rows affected”

The two links direct to the videos you were wanting to see.
FOG Legacy Boot
FOG UEFI Boot

I’m wondering if I should just do a reinstall on my server and start fresh, ( update OS while I’m at it since I’m running an older version) maybe something goofed up during install and that’s what’s causing my problems.

@Sebastian-Roth said in Fog Menu loop:

mysql> SELECT * FROM globalSettings WHERE globalSettings.settingKey LIKE ‘%HID%’;

Here are my lines that return when I type that in.

Here are my Menu hide settings, nothing is checked as far as hiding the menu.

Rebelman

@Sebastian-Roth said in Fog Menu loop:

Please take a look through the iPXE menu options in the web UI. Maybe there is something wrong there.

Is there something specific I need to be looking for, I’m under the iPXE Menu Item Settings and not sure what to be looking for.

Rebelman

@Sebastian-Roth This is what I get when I do the ? mark.

I also just tested on an older machine that still uses Legacy and I have no problems imaging it. Problem is only happening on newer machines that have I have to use UEFI images.

Rebelman

When I type http://10.254.1.20/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php&mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 I am redirected to my Fog dashboard. And I’ve already run through the installer once more before posting on here as a possible solution.

Rebelman

Yes the first system to image since updating, also should you’re proposed URL mac address on the end be a specific address or all 0’s?

Fog server has been in place just updated to 1.5.5 was running 1.2.0. Just experiencing this on new Dell machines that can’t boot Legacy.

Rebelman

Running Fog server 1.5.5, Ubuntu 14.03.
Deploying to a new UEFI boot Dell machine, DHCP Windows 2016 running Option 66 - Fog IP Address Option 67 - ipxe.efi
When deploying an image to a new machine, I am able to get to the fog menu with no problems, but once I select either Full or Quick Registration I am greeted with a black menu screen with no cursor or location of where the menu is seletcted. I can hit down twice and hit enter on Full Reg and it just loops back to this menu, if I hit escape I get an operation canceled, could not boot, chainloading error.
