Hi Sebastian,

No problems on the delay.

Yes this appears to be working as expected:

Hi Sebastian,

Both test workstations I’ve been using have the same hardware. Motherboard model - ASRock Fatal1ty X399.

I’ve just tried replicating on a UEFI Hyper-V VM booting to ipxe.efi and can confirm this works as expected! Looks like the problem is hardware specific.

Definitely not a deal breaker as a manual host registration works and the capture/deploy command from web interface is working perfectly.

Thanks
Richard

@Sebastian-Roth

Yes this is correct.

The issue only occurs on EFI machines but works as expected on BIOS.

Here is an example of it working on a BIOS machine:

When I compare this to what I have on my test system it looks like the name of this item is somehow lost. Please

Hey Sebastian,

I mentioned earlier but I removed the memtest menu item as it wasn’t required. Also to note, I was encountering this same issue before I removed it as well. I’ve added it once again as you’ve instructed and it is still behaving the same way.

The other thing I changed was the boot exit type for BIOS from SANBOOT to GRUB_FIRST_FOUND_WINDOWS as some other HP Servers were giving me an error with SANBOOT. The workstations experiencing this issue are EFI and still using the default REFIND_EFI exit type.

Hi Sebastian,

I was just being over the top with the internal IP masking. Happy to leave it unmasked to make things easier.

Hi Sebastian,

No worries regarding the delayed reply.

I’m definitely selecting Deploy Image and Quick Host Deletion. The only difference is when I select “Deploy Image” it prompts three times for the username and password and only once for “Quick Host Deletion” before proceeding to the client system information page. The only modification I’ve made to the iPXE menu is removing the memtest option.

Video available here:

Excuse the time it takes to go through the NIC selection (there are 3 in this workstation).

Thanks
Richard

Hi All,

Have a strange issue which I can’t quite figure out.

This is a clean install of Fog on 1.5.6 booting to ipxe.efi.

I can register hosts from the iPXE menu and any deployment/capture tasks configured from the web GUI are working.

Now when I attempt to either use Deployment or Quick Delete Host from the iPXE menu it prompts for a username and password. I enter the default “fog” and “password” which appears to fail but without any prompts. Note, these credentials still work in the GUI. After three attempts it bypasses the menu and I end up here:

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
