@robertkwild It seems the ipxe files you’re using are not compiled with your certificate?

[robertkwild]

@Tom-Elliott thanks Tom, how would i do please?

[robertkwild]

this does ring a bell as when i ran the installer to update my fog i get this error

Compiling iPXE binaries trusting your SSL certificate.......Failed!

in the error log i get this

WARNING: cannot verify 10.110.10.60's certificate, issued by ‘/CN=FOG Server CA’:
  Self-signed certificate encountered.

@robertkwild I don’t have a very specific set of steps, though generally speaking running the FOG installer completely should recompile the binaries into IPXE for you.

You could try to force this with re-installing fog with the -S argument, but if you have a custom certificate it may be a bit more difficult (though not impossible.)

I don’t know your specific environment.

this is one example of set of instructions that should help.

If you installation directory (fogproject/utils/FOGiPXE) I believe is where you would run the informed ./buildipxe.sh script.

hope this helps.

@Tom-Elliott tbh i havnt compiled my own self signed cert ive always usd fogs one so no idea why all of a sudden getting this error

ive tried with the -S argument and same error

you think is because this fog server is centos 7?

@robertkwild I don’t know. Did this work at any point in time? Is it only this one machine or all having this issue?

[robertkwild]

@Tom-Elliott its been working fine since i updated it, this is very weird, i tried another laptop and it works fine, it could get past that bios screen and i saw my fog menu page

[Tom Elliott]

@robertkwild So this isn’t an issue any longer?

The reason I asked the question I did is that certificates have a timing component. Since iPXE loads before any “system” time is available besides CMOS/BIOS/Hardware clocks, I was going to have you check your bios and set the system time at the hardware and see if that helps.

Glad it’s not all stop broken though.

Thanks

@Tom-Elliott i had the exact same error on another pc i wanted to image, you were right Tom, as the CMOS battery died it had the wrong date/time so i amde it correct and voila

thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!!
