@tbasura First let me say I know nothing about how acronis works. But for PXE booting there are two methods.

Update dhcp options 66 with the fog server’s ip address. Update dhcp option 67 with ipxe.efi for uefi or undionly.kpxe for bios based computers.

Configure a proxy dhcp server. The proxy dhcp server will send out pxe boot information that will override option 1’s settings.

If you install acronis on a server some place and its taken over pxe boot control that is probably your problem. On the box where the acronis server is installed… Check to see if there are any acronis services running, like netboot, or pxe booting service. It might be wise to just stop all acronis services on that test server.

@tbasura You mention multicasting. I have never used clonezilla in a multicast scenario and don’t know how it works. With FOG we use “udp-cast” for this. When you send out a multicast deploy and something goes wrong with the underlaying udp-cast then you’d see a hanging blue partclone screen (though still different as it would not get as far to show the numbers yet but hang with a very plain screen). So my first assumption on multicast playing a role here is probably wrong.

Drivers can’t be an issue either because that’s handled by the Linux kernel.

Will be interesting to see what FOG makes of it. I highly recommend you install the latest dev-branch version instead of the dated last release (1.5.9).
