DHCP Lease Failing
-
@george1421 Tried a dumb switch. Cannot get it to PXE boot through a dumb switch.
-
@Brenth453 Well I have to admit you have me stumped on this one.
Is the fog server on the same subnet as the pxe booting client? If so we can use the fog server to do collect a pcap of the boot up sequence. If not then we can use wireshark to at least see the dhcp bits since they are sent out broadcast.
For the FOG server we can use this tutorial: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9673/when-dhcp-pxe-booting-process-goes-bad-and-you-have-no-clue
For wireshark use the capture filter of
port 67 or port 68to only collect dhcp communications. I would prefer to use the FOG server because then we will get the unicast communications between the pxe booting client and the fog server, wireshark will only see the broadcast messages unless you are on a mirrored port.Post the results of the pcap here (or DM me a link to the file on a google drive) and I’ll take a look at it.

@george1421 So we have gotten somewhere. I have the image uploaded and am attempting to deploy to another machine of the same model.
-
@Brenth453 is the disk you’re deploying to smaller than the disk that was captured from?
-
@Tom-Elliott Yes it does unfortunately. I’m assuming the image deploy works from smaller hard drives onto larger ones? If it does then I could probably capture an image off of this and then deploy to the other one.
-
@Tom-Elliott I am going to capture another image and set it to single disk resizable. I am getting an error though about “The disk contains an unclean file system.”
-
@Brenth453 resizable will be better. I can’t guarantee it’ll work.
-
@Tom-Elliott How do you tell fog to only image the C drive? I can’t use single disk unless I specify the correct disk to capture an image of.
-
Hi guys,
I have the same error, on a new fog server.

@Brenth453 I was able to use a router as DHCP and it worked flawlessly. Windows is just a flat out sketchy DHCP.
-
@Tom-Elliott Deployed from smaller hard drive image to larger hard drive. Computer is stuck preparing automatic repair and infinite reboots.
-
@Brenth453 I am marking this solved as the initial question indeed is. Please feel free to open a new thread if you still have problems with infinite reboots after deploying to a larger disk.

@Brenth453
I have the same problem with a HP Prodesk 400 G3, I make a Bios update and the problem is gone .Hop it’s can help.
I think using a different kernel can help too.
-
Hi again.
Today I need to install some HP Prodesk 400 G4
And the problem come back in both mod (uefi and legacy) I try to check for a Bios update, and I done it but the problem steal here.I already try with a old no managed dumb switch.
In my case I make a upgrade from 1.4.4 to 1.5.5 it was working like a charm with the 1.4.4. Now I have this problem with the 1.5.5.
Any idea ?
