@raviolipizza Yeah that looks weird. I think we need to get @joe-schmitt involved here.

@raviolipizza Can you please provide a client log file? You find that in C:\fog.log or in the FOG client program install path depending on your selection when installing the client.

@Tom-Elliott Possibly the inits becoming too big? Do we need to up the ramdisk size?

I was on the wrong track I suppose. Wayne is right, the PHP fpm seems to be the issue: FCGI: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:9000

@Wayne-Workman Can you check /var/ log/php-fpm/error.log

@Wayne-Workman Looking through the logs I found this:

@zacadams What exactly did you try? Which values? Did the udp-sender calls on the FOG server look different according to the changes you made in the code? Check with ps ax | grep udp on the console while a multicast task is scheduled.

@Hope1983 Ok, so in the video we see iPXE error 0x7f048283: http://ipxe.org/err/7f048283 - iPXE fails to start the EFI binary (the linux kernel in this case). As it is working properly with other devices this seems to be a problem with this particular device.

First follow George’s post on upgrading the firmware and making sure secure boot is disabled.

Use the following link to build a debug enabled (DEBUG=efi_image,efi_wrap) binary: https://rom-o-matic.eu/build.fcgi?BINARY=ipxe.efi&BINDIR=bin-x86_64-efi&REVISION=master&DEBUG=efi_image,efi_wrap&EMBED.00script.ipxe=%23!ipxe isset %24{net0/mac} %26%26 ifopen net0 %26%26 dhcp net0 || goto dhcpnet1 echo Received DHCP answer on interface net0 %26%26 goto proxycheck %3Adhcpnet1 isset %24{net1/mac} %26%26 ifopen net1 %26%26 dhcp net1 || goto dhcpnet2 echo Received DHCP answer on interface net1 %26%26 goto proxycheck %3Adhcpnet2 isset %24{net2/mac} %26%26 ifopen net2 %26%26 dhcp net2 || goto dhcpall echo Received DHCP anser on infterface net2 %26%26 goto proxycheck %3Adhcpall dhcp %26%26 goto proxycheck || goto dhcperror %3Adhcperror prompt --key s --timeout 10000 DHCP failed%2C hit 's' for the iPXE shell%3B reboot in 10 seconds %26%26 shell || reboot %3Aproxycheck isset %24{proxydhcp/next-server} %26%26 set next-server %24{proxydhcp/next-server} || goto nextservercheck %3Anextservercheck isset %24{next-server} %26%26 goto netboot || goto setserv %3Asetserv echo -n Please enter tftp server%3A %26%26 read next-server %26%26 goto netboot || goto setserv %3Anetboot chain tftp%3A//%24{next-server}/default.ipxe || prompt --key s --timeout 10000 Chainloading failed%2C hit 's' for the iPXE shell%3B reboot in 10 seconds %26%26 shell || reboot &general.h/IMAGE_SCRIPT:=1&general.h/IMAGE_EFI:=1&general.h/IWMGMT_CMD:=0&general.h/NSLOOKUP_CMD:=1&general.h/TIME_CMD:=1&general.h/DIGEST_CMD:=1&general.h/LOTEST_CMD:=1&general.h/VLAN_CMD:=1&general.h/REBOOT_CMD:=1&general.h/POWEROFF_CMD:=1&general.h/PCI_CMD:=1&general.h/PARAM_CMD:=1&general.h/NEIGHBOUR_CMD:=1&general.h/PING_CMD:=1&general.h/CONSOLE_CMD:=1&general.h/NTP_CMD:=1&console.h/CONSOLE_FRAMEBUFFER:=1&general.h/ROM_BANNER_TIMEOUT=40 &branding.h/PRODUCT_NAME=FOG Project&branding.h/PRODUCT_SHORT_NAME=FOG iPXE&

It takes 10 seconds to build and shows a download window after that. Grab that file and put it in /tftpboot on your FOG server - rename the original ipxe.efi to not overwrite it.

Now boot up your client again an take a new video of the messages on screen you see. Please try to set your camera/smartphone on a pile of books on your table in front of the screen so we have a steady picture. We need a clear/readable picture of all the messages (and numbers!) on screen.

@Paulman9 Any news on this. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

@Hope1983 Will be looking into this on the weekend.

@Nexqs Sorry for my late reply. Please try this: Edit /opt/fogproject/lib/common/functions.sh, jump to line 623 and add a hash tag as comment at the beginning to disable, make it look like this:

...
            esac
            ;;
    esac
    #errorStat $?
    dots "Preparing Package Manager"
...

Now rerun the installer as usual.
