@Sebastian-Roth I have to add, that I tried to use the FOG-Server in two VLANS (with 2 interfaces) and I didn´t believe that FOG is not running with two interfaces. This is probably the reason for “saving partition tables…” I changed the configuration to only 1 interface/network and capturing works perfectly and no errors occur. So my problem is “solved” in a way.

@Sebastian-Roth It never proceeded. I Waited from 30 min. till 60 min. before I shutdown the clients hard.

I installed on a fresh debian 11 the new fog version 1.5.10 and get an hangup while capturing with “saving partition tables (MBR)…” . I tried several clients, also clients (legacy BIOS) which work fine with fog 1.5.7. I also tried all Kernel Version (Version 4.x.x ends with kernel panic). The fog server is running as LXC on proxmox 8.0.4 with loaded module nfsd and the lxc.conf is set to “lxc.apparmor.profile: unconfined” What else can I try?

@sebastian-roth
ok, add another menuentry to /tftpboot/boot/grub/grub.cfg
and add an timeout worked. But there will be a second menu to select one of the two menuentry. Not so nice, but it works.
I could not find a working chain-syntax for the grub.exe.
Embedding a grub.cfg into your core.0 binary I didnt test yet.

Hello,
I would like to boot a second linux distro from the harddisk. Till now I have an Windows and an Debian (boots from /dev/sdb3) on that disk. I installed an second Linux (Kali) on /dev/sdb6. But how has to be the iPXE-Menu for that constellation.
For Windows I difined an “fog.local” with the parameter
“chain -ar http://<fogserver>/fog/service/ipxe/grub.exe --config-file=rootnoverify (hd1);chainloader (hd1)+1 || MENU”
For the first Linux there is an “fog.linux” with the parameter
“chain tftp://<fogserver>/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.0 || goto MENU”
This Linux boots witch help from /tftpboot/boot/grub/grub.cfg

menuentry 'Linux' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
        insmod biosdisk
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ntfs
        set root=(hd1,3)
        if [ -f /ubuntu/disks/root.disk ]; then
                loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk
                set root=(loop0)
                linux   /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb3 loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk rw rootflags=sync splash nomdmonddf nomdmonisw  vt.handoff=7
                initrd  /initrd.img
        else
                set root=(hd1,3)
                linux   /vmlinuz root=/dev/sdb3 rw splash vt.handoff=7
                initrd  /initrd.img
        fi
}

If I change /dev/sdb3 with /dev/sdb6 in this grub.cfg the second Linux will boot, but howto integrate both Linux distros ?
Thanks for help.
