    @rodluz said in Very slow boot.php and bzImage during pxe boot:

    I originally had the kernel version using 4.19.64. Updated it last week to 5.10.34. Just updated it to 5.10.50 today and still having the same issue.

    At this stage it’s definitely not the FOS Linux kernel causing the slowness. So swapping that out does not make a difference.

    You need to swap out the iPXE binaries (manual download from github) or update to the latest dev-branch version as we see you colleague’s FOG server.

    Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

      @sebastian-roth Thanks for the help. I prefer to swap out the iPXE binaries first and see if that helps.

      Do I just copy those linked files into /tftpboot then change ownership to fogproject:root and chmod 655 the files, or is there something else I need to do?

        Yeah, that should do. Though I’d do chmod 644 as they don’t need execution. But would work either way.

          @sebastian-roth Okay so I did that and it’s still acting the same way.

          I guess the next step would be to update to the dev-branch?

            @rodluz No, from the description of the issue I am pretty sure dev-branch won’t help you because you’ve already used the iPXE binaries from dev-branch.

            First let’s make sure they are in place. When you PXE boot the machine take a close look at the iPXE header printed on screen. In does print a version number in between braces, like this: iPXE ... (g....) ... - always starts with the letter ‘g’. Note that down and post that here or take a picture of you are not sure what to look at.

            Second ask your colleague what kind of DHCP server she’s using and what options for filename (DHCP option 67) is set.

              @sebastian-roth Okay so this is the whole output

              >>>Start PXE over IPv4.
                Station IP address is 10.28.68.52

                NBP filename is ipxe.efi

                Succeed to download NBP file.

              iPXE 1.21.1+ (gc64d) -- Open source Network Boot Firmware -- http://ipxe.org
              Features: DNS FTP HTTP HTTPS iSCSI NFS TFTP SRP VLAN AoE EFI Menu

              Booting... (Press ESC to access the menu)
              

              The iPXE version is newer, because it used to be 1.20.1+ before the change.

              I was the one that set up the DHCP setting for my colleague’s and my VLANs so they are both ipxe.efi.
              I checked to make sure that nothing is broken between VLANs and switches and that everything is Gigabit.
              I also tried disabling the ADVANCE MENU LOGIN & PXE MENU HIDDEN just to check and still same issue. I went into the FOG Configuration and updated the MAC addresses too but no luck.

                @rodluz said in Very slow boot.php and bzImage during pxe boot:

                (gc64d)

                OK that’s definitely the current iPXE version I pushed to dev-branch not long ago.

                Thought that you might have different DHCP options set that might explain the issue. But doesn’t look like it.

                Hmm, you can try updating to dev-branch but I can’t think of a change we pushed since 1.5.9 that would explain what you describe. Anyhow, give it a go.

                  @sebastian-roth I will have to wait until late next month to update. I have to image around 200 computers in the coming weeks so I’ll leave those laptops as the last devices to image in case something breaks with the update.
                  Thanks for all your help, I will reply to the thread after I update the server.

                      @Warsonix I really needed to get those laptops imaged asap, so I just used a USB-C to Ethernet adapter on those and it worked. I haven’t touched those laptops since then.
                      Funnily enough, I have to re-image them next week, so I’ll let you know what happens.
                      I have done a lot of changes to my FOG server since then, so it’s really going to depend on your setup too.
