ipxe boot just hangs

http://10.60.16.129/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params

As well, open that URL http://10.60.16.129/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php manually in your browser from a Windows/Linux client that is normally booted to see if you get any (text) output. Please copy and paste that output here so we can have a look.

@Sebastian-Roth

Thanks for you help. Looking at the output here I can already see a problem, but which file do I edit?

@george1421

Yes, the Fog server is at 10.60.16.129

The result of the command is chain http://10.60.16.129/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params

george1421 · May 8, 2019, 1:16 PM

@ayoward Interesting because my default.ipxe file contains a bit more.

#!ipxe
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch ${buildarch}
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param platform ${platform}
param product ${product}
param manufacturer ${product}
param ipxever ${version}
param filename ${filename}
param sysuuid ${uuid}
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
:bootme
chain http://192.168.1.53/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params

Your fog boot.php page looks good and expected. I’m not sure I understand why your default.ipxe file only contains the chain command though.

Does the file /opt/fog/.fogsettings exist ls -la /opt/fog ? Its a hidden file, if its missing then the fog installer did not complete correctly.

ayoward · May 8, 2019, 8:21 AM

@george1421 the file is definitely there.

@george1421 and before I added that line into default.ipxe, there was nothing in there. Should I copy what you have in yours into mine?

Junkhacker · May 8, 2019, 2:12 PM

@ayoward yes

george1421 · May 8, 2019, 2:22 PM

@ayoward Yes just change the IP address to your fog server, the rest is generic.

ayoward · May 8, 2019, 8:56 AM

@george1421 @Junkhacker @Sebastian-Roth That has cracked it!! Thanks so much for your help!!

Pi0tR · May 10, 2019, 11:22 AM

i have the same problem

george1421 · May 10, 2019, 11:31 AM

@Pi0tR What is the output of this command? cat /tftpboot/default.ipxe keyed into the linux command prompt of your fog server.

Pi0tR · May 10, 2019, 1:26 PM

cat /tftpboot/default.ipxe

give me

#!ipxe
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch ${buildarch}
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param platform ${platform}
param product ${product}
param manufacturer ${product}
param ipxever ${version}
param filename ${filename}
param sysuuid ${uuid}
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
:bootme
chain http://172.16.2.50/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params

but im trying to get this file from another vlan with 172.16.3.0/24 subnet (TFTP work fine)

@Pi0tR Lets start a new thread since your issues are different at this point. New topic - new problem.
