After selecting function from the pxe menu, nothing happens.
Please see short video.

@tom That picture does give me a clue. Where the heck did kernel bzImage4123 come from? Lets reset that back to just bzImage to ensure you have the latest kernel that was delivered with 1.5.0. If your kernel does not match the inits, I can see why FOS did not startup.

Lets collect some additional information for this issue.

1. Is the 7270 in uefi or bios mode?
2. Have you updated the firmware in those systems from what was shipped from Dell?
3. What (exactly) do you have for dhcp option 67 {boot-file}

This is an interesting one since I see both the kernel and virtual hard drive get transferred to the target computer, but the kernel never starts.

1.Is the 7270 in uefi or bios mode? Yes
2.Have you updated the firmware in those systems from what was shipped from Dell? current version 1.18.5 ( latest)
3.What (exactly) do you have for dhcp option 67 {boot-file} undionly.kkpxe

Thanks,

Tom

That was an either or question, but based on your answer to #3, I might guess you are in legacy (bios mode).

For the boot file, can you test to see if undionly.kpxe (note only one k) works better.

@george1421
Same results with kpxe.
In addition, here are the TFTP server settings:

Thanks George,

After removing the 4123 it seems to be working properly.

Should I keep tpxe or change it back to kkpxe?

Thanks,

Tom

@tom undionly.kpxe is the default. You can use either one interchangeably. In rare conditions where undionly.kpxe doesn’t work, the .kkpxe adds some additional code to band-aid some broken hardware. I can say in my environment I only use undionly.kpxe without issue.

@george1421

Since it’s working, I’ll keep it as is.

Thank you for the quick resolution and for everything you do.
