Cannot deploy images

@george1421
Wait, I remember another situation just like this, where the OP was sending pxelinux.0 or any of the undionly.0 files as dhcp option 67 {boot-file} and it would run just fine but blow up while it was downloading the init.xz. This sure seems to fit that situation. -
@george1421

seems to be correct. -
@tom Ok then we can rule out something happened to the FOS image during or after the upgrade since the keys match.
-
@Tom Would you please also comment on George’s question about other laptops/PCs PXE behavior. Is it only one single device or all of the 7240s? Please try other devices to see if you have a general issue or if it’s model related in your case.

Please find the PCAP file:

@tom Looking at it now
-
@tom Look at your IM (chat bubble) on the FOG tool part. I have a few questions

@george1421 So far we found in the pcap that the client is trying to download bzImage412 and the fog server is replying with file not found.
-
@tom Well that wasn’t what I expected (it looks good).
Lets try one more URL call:
http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=<mac_address_of_target_computer> -
@george1421 Just for clarity this is what we see in the pcap

Note that packet 56 asking for
bzImage412and then in packet 58 the FOG server says 302 not found. -

@tom OK this isn’t getting us to the answer. Not your fault, I think “fog” is helping us by hiding the answer.
Can you go to the FOG webgui and look at the FOG Configuration->FOG Settings. Then in FOG Settings look at these values:
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL (suspect is wrong) should bebzImage
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_32 (probably right) -
-
@tom Well as they say… There you go. You found the smoking gun.
Did someone try to create a custom kernel for some reason?
-
@george1421
Not that I am aware of. I was on vacation.
So, what are the changes I need to make?Thanks,
Tom -
@tom Well I would start out by changing that value of
bzImage412in FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL back to the default ofbzImage. Then reboot your target computer and see if you can register it. -
-
Changed the entry to bzimage4123 and it seems to be working fine.
Thank you for all your help.You guys ROCK!
Tom

@Tom Why the heck you using
bzimage4123now or was this just a typo?
