@sebastian-roth when you say chainloading to the local disk, you mean the menu option where it says boot to hard drive

RE: adding uefi boot option aswell as bios boot option
ohhh i think i know why, is this because i made the image on a bios windows 10 instead of uefi and now when i come into deploying it on uefi i get this error
but i did run sysprep on the windows 10 image before i captured it

RE: adding uefi boot option aswell as bios boot option
@george1421 found out
64=bzimage
32=bzimage32and i think the location is here isnt it
/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/
so i imagine i just rename the old ones and save the new ones here?

RE: adding uefi boot option aswell as bios boot option
@george1421 thanks
Is the 64 bit link do I save that as the bzimage one and the 32 bit one, do I save that as the bzimage32
And where are the originals to overwrite or even better save them as .old

adding uefi boot option aswell as bios boot option
hi all,
my fog server works with bios motherboards (all i do is change the motherboard back to bios instead of uefi) also i turn off secure boot as its a pain
but this desktop i have (hp z2) you cant go back to bios, i have looked everywhere and you just cant change it to normal bios, just comes in uefi only
how do i add the uefi boot option to my dhcp option 67 as i can see you can only have one string value and not two, otherwise i would have added “ipxe.efi”
thanks,

RE: centos 7 kickstart - were to put ks file
my dir listing works but when i click the kickstart file, it doesnt ask me to download it, where as it should instead of just viewing me the contents of it
is it ok to add this line in my httpd.conf as i know @george1421 advised against it
<Directory /var/www/html/listing>
Options +Indexes

RE: centos 7 kickstart - were to put ks file

kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/centos/7/vmlinuz ks=nfs:${fog-ip}:/images/os/centos/7/ks.cfg

boot || goto MENU -
RE: centos 7 kickstart - were to put ks file
@george1421 im getting closer, ive tried all different variants but this is the best one, this one actually tries to load the “kickstart” file
kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/centos/7/vmlinuz ks=http://${fog-ip}/listing/ks.cfg
initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/centos/7/initrd.img
boot || goto MENUbut this is the error i get when trying it out

RE: centos 7 kickstart - were to put ks file
thanks @george1421 i can access the kickstart script via the web gui so all is good
i can view it but i cant download it
if i go here
i can view it on the web
but if i go here
it re directs me to the fog dashboard, ie
https://fog-ip//fog/management/index.php?node=home
i was hoping it would list the dir listing of apache and when i click the file i could download it
maybe i need to make a dir and put the file in the dir and then i can download it
many thanks,
