Thank you for the response.

I ended up going back and comparing the file to another one I downloaded on another computer, and they were different sizes. Moved the new one in and it was able to mount fine.

@notaspy If you force this system to fail, then boot the fog server up.

Run the following commands.

ps aux | grep dhcp this should show you if the dhcp server is running in memory. netstat -an| grep 67 this should show you that the dhcp server is listening on its data port. You should see something like this udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:67 0.0.0.0:*

Lets start with those. That will give us an idea if the dhcp-server is running and / or listening.

Edit: It looks like ubuntu 16.04+ is based on systemd so these commands will be useful. Don’t use them until we can understand what’s going on here.

sudo systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server sudo systemctl status isc-dhcp-server sudo systemctl enable isc-dhcp-server

@VijayBomble This thread is extremely old and I have no idea what your particular problem is. based on the message of “on this switch it works, but that one it doesn’t” leads me to think a configuration issue on the switch that’s not working. There’s not anything that I can do to figure out what the problem is.

@george1421
I thank you, George for you help, for me it’s ok to solve this topic.
cordially

@george1421 im very sorry to make you confused with word “cobbler”, yes, it is an opensource project

if akin to FOG. later, i will try FOG to compare it.

but now, i think my problem is how use dhcp + dnsmasq.proxy mode + ipxe install rhel67(old kernel without efi_stub) with uefi client make it general.

or how gurb2 auto looking for grub.cfg @ ipxe environment.

i was confused that, why grub can’t use anyother args like — grubx64.efi --net_bootp --net_default_server=xxxx --configfile=xxxxx/grub.cfg, or like ipxe support ${mac(ip):hexraw} to make grub.cfg be general. that’s will be perfect to support network install.

how FOG do if someone need install rhel67 with general cfg @ dnsmasq.proxy mode & uefi client(for now all hp gen9 server use efi.)

thank you.

Perfect !
I substitute the conf files and replaced “Fog IP Server”,now it works !

Solved !
Regards

in /etc/environment, i marked
http_proxy=“http://xxx:3128”
https_proxy=“https://xxx:3128”
ftp_proxy=“ftp://xxx:3128”
np_proxy=“localhost,127.0.0.1,@IPfog”

and ./installfog.sh works

thanks a lot !

Solved :
The http proxy is not correctly configured.
Edit /etc/wgetrc and add this line :
no_proxy = <ip server fog>

Explanation :
The step “Ensuring node username and passwords match” lunch wget request to local ip.
This is the same issue for update halt at step “backing up database”

I had that happen before when one of the repo’s were being blocked by our network filter.

@FoSTerCyber This issue only happens after upgrading, not on fresh installs it seems.

@mlerch so just a hint here: the fog settings are kept in /opt/fog/.fogsettings file. That is where fog knows what the user account and password should be.

Worked with @keith75140 and we seem to have gotten things fully operational.

While it is true the OP used the fog user as an admin user, we were able to get things working properly. PXE Booting is now working as well after working with the network team to get things setup.

We had a couple of issues but we were able to work around them.

You’ve tried “EFI Exit” with rEFInd? This really doesn’t seem to be a problem with LVM or disk information, directly.

It really really feels like it’s trying to boot across incompatible types.

Please try network booting using EFI by enabling the Network Stack and PXE Network Stack. Then try setting the “EFI Exit” to rEFInd.

This will mean you need to use one of the EFI labeled boot files, but this can typically be automated.

@kleanthis Well, you have to write the scripts, so if they’re good to go, then yes.

@Cmid Yep.

Ubuntu decided that only “root” users can login with a password defined. You can’t even open mysql via terminal without sudo if there is no password set.

We can close this. Moving on.

@PerC I get this when deploying Windows images in brand new Hard Drivers, then I boot with a Live Linux and tell where to find the bootable partition.

I’m checking it out right now. will let you know.

Thanks!
