Changed FOG's IP address, system won't boot

[lukebarone]

Possibly related to my old problem, but this is on a separate server.

Running Debian Jessie, I updated the IP address, and systems will boot into Windows if they boot from the NIC. That part is good.

I have a Dell laptop that will not load the menu. When I attempt to boot from the NIC, in BIOS mode (no UEFI), it presents me with a GRUB prompt after downloading the iPXE items (not sure what to call it). It will not launch FOG.

I log into the web interface, find this PC in the list, and start a Deploy (Debug) task, and it will boot me into the Fog OS. It looks good to me, so I type fog and press Enter, then it complains it can’t find the fog.postinit file.

It was running 1.3.0. I updated to the latest stable release from GIT, updated the MySQL tables in the web interface, and tried again - no change. I cannot load the FOG menu to select anything. I ran the tftp tests from another computer on the same switch, but no change.

Thoughts?

@lukebarone In regards to the IP address change of the FOG server after fog was installed, have you reviewed this wiki document: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Change_FOG_Server_IP_Address

@george1421 Yes I have. I found that document the first time I ran into the Netboot issue (posted above). I followed it, and the web interface loads (so I thought it was fine). It also let the computers that were stuck in a PXE boot-loop start up and boot into Windows. The current issue is that I can’t image this laptop, or even see the menu. Tomorrow when I’m back on site, I’ll test with another computer as well.

Sorry for the late reply… Tried on another computer, and I cannot get the FOG menu to appear (this computer has never registered on that FOG server).
