    Good Day,
    I’ve encountered an issue with USB booting with IPXE. The issue is that the onboard LAN port is faulty. The bios doesn’t directly recognise the external lan adapter. While Linux does recognise it after it’s completed a kernel load. Can we make a USB boot image, that also includes a linux kernel DHCP requests and allows you to then point it to the fog server, totally ignoring the TFTP boot and just running with the rest of the FOG menu etc.

    Regards
    Duane

      @dashwell Are you using the “usb boot easy way” to get into the iPXE menu? iPXE should support multiple network adapters out of the box. It should support 2 or maybe 3 external adapters and will try them in order.

      There is a different way to usb boot directly into FOS Linux (the engine that moves data on the client). The tutorial is covered here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7727/building-usb-booting-fos-image read the entire article top to bottom. Also check the FOG Form chat for a few more hints.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!
