HP Z2 tower workstations are stuck at `refind initializing` state #537

Closed laurivehkaoja closed 1 year ago

laurivehkaoja commented 1 year ago

First, I'm not sure if this is even a FOG related bug.

I'm having problems when booting HP Z2 tower workstations to Windows over PXE. Computer's get stuck at refind initializing state. I'm using the dev-branch.

I have also found a fix for this. Renaming refind_x64.efi (located at /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe) to something else and then renaming refind_efi (found at the same directory) to refind_x64.efi allows computers to boot normally.

@laurivehkaoja Is the mentioned HP Z2 tower workstation a pure 64 bit architecture?

When a machine PXE boots the iPXE code tries to detect the architecture to send the correct binary. So the next question arises. What happens when you schedule a deploy task? Probably pulls bzImage (instead of bzImage32), right? Any issues with the deployment?
