@janspook That bit looks like its setup correctly. From the FOG server’s linux console will you post the output of this command:

ls -la /images/os/windows

This should confirm the iso image is located in the proper spot.

janspook

Yeah

@janspook Well that is interesting. All of the bits are in place, it should download. I guess I need 2 more things.

From a windows browser key in: http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 replacing the fog_server_ip with the real IP address. Please post the results in here as text.
Provide a screen shot of the actual error message. I need to see the context of the error.

This looks good.

I wonder if nfs support was removed from iPXE.

janspook

@george1421
Could be, i never had any isues with fog 1.4.4 which i used in a school project. But with 1.5.0 it doesnt seem to work anymore.

george1421

@janspook I wonder if we can get a hold of ipxe from an earlier build and test that?

What boot file are you using? I still have 1.4.4. in my production environment. I’ll upload what ever iPXE boot loader you are using so you can grab it and test.

janspook

@george1421
Using the default one. Is there a way to install an older version, i dont care if the webinterface look nicer, its only for installing Windows.

@janspook said in Could not start download:

Not helpful. Its like me asking you if you like coffee or tea, and you responding “yes”. Just kidding.

Look at the FOG chat bubble, I’ll send you links to the older ipxe boot files.

Rename the existing ones using the linux console commands. The files are in /tftpboot.

Then install these files there. I’m interested in seeing if the older ipxe boot loaders work correctly.

janspook

@george1421 I found this https://tinkerboarding.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=PXE-boot

I will test it tomorrow.

george1421

@janspook I was just looking at the config files for iPXE issued by fog for another ticket and I found the NFS code has been turned off.

https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/master/src/ipxe/src/config/general.h

Line #60. So that IS why the NFS protocol doesn’t work in the tutorial. The iPXE kernels I sent you should address the issue in the short term.

Sorry I posted this originally in the wrong thread, too much reading I guess.

I’ve updated the ipxe files to use be built with FTP and NFS. These files will be in 1.5.1, and are currently in the working-1.5.1 branch of github repository.

janspook

@tom-elliott
When will 1.5.1 be released because i have 2 weeks to roll it out.

george1421

@janspook I’m going to test this today. The 1.4.4 iPXE kernels should work correctly. The instructions were created using 1.4.4.

janspook

@george1421 Oke! Say it when you found something.
