Need help making my own Debian 9 FOG server!
-
@unknownhost99 Now in your final configuration, will the pxe booting clients be on a different subnet than your fog/dnsmasq server? If so then you need to add your fog server as the very last server in your dhcp-relay/dhcp-helper list so that your dnsmasq server will see the pxe boot requests on other subnets.

@george1421 me and my boss went over the whole prgress and its working much better now although now when trying to boot from ipxe we get:
TFTP
file not found
and then it exitst the pxe boot -
@unknownhost99 Please create another pcap so we can see what the client is seeing. We found a misplaced space some times causes pxe boot to fail. The PXE roms some times are not very smart.
-
@george1421 i fixed the issue we can now finally start with adding hosts and adding images
-
@unknownhost99 Do you mind explaining what was wrong, for others that may find the thread in the future?
-
@george1421 weirdly enough dont know what the issue is we went into the menu of fog using dhcp and even manged to capture an image from it but weirdly enough when it was done., i tried to boot again and now it says no boot file found whilst booting from pxe no settings or anything has been changed
-
@unknownhost99 To me this sounds like you have more than one DHCP server in your network. Sometimes the “right” one answers first and sometimes the “wrong” one…
-
@sebastian-roth dhcp is done with the router and dnsmmasq i have it plugged in the right router so that shouldnt be the problem
-
@unknownhost99 I have seen many routers doing very weird things DHCP vise. But go ahead if you think it’s all fine.
-
@sebastian-roth yea but the weird thing is it worked just fine yesterday and no settings or hardware changed and now its not working
-
@unknownhost99 i just want to let everybody now that the server functions properly know thanks to everyone who replied, it was a great help and i love the service you supply keep going at it!
