UEFI ipxe host registration issue
-
Hello. I’m still pretty new to fogproject, so please bear with me.
So far, I only have experience with legacy images in FOG, and I’m currently trying to register a UEFI client.
I am using an MSI B650 gaming plus wifi motherboard and an autoexec.ipxe.
Here is my problem.
Using the ipxe.efi image, I can register the host without any problems. It can be seen in the database and in the WebUI. However, after rebooting the client, I still get the message ‘Client not registered’
However, when using snponly.efi, I am shown that the host has been registered, so it cannot be a database problem. However, I cannot register hosts with snponly.efi, nor can I create an image.
Here I get the error message:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on "/dev/ram0/ or unkown-block(1,0)
The host’s MAC address matches the registered MAC address in the WebUI.
The FOG server handles DHCP and is not a DHCP proxy.
I hope you can help me, as I can’t find anything useful.
ipxe.efi is up to date. Built it myself today.
Maybe this info will help.
When I add these lines to dnsmasq.conf, I get a PXE-E21 error. I assume that my motherboard doesn’t like the menus.
PXE Menu # -----------------------------
pxe-prompt=“Booting FOG Client”, 1
pxe-service=X86PC, “Boot to FOG”, undionly.kpxe
pxe-service=X86-64_EFI, “Boot to FOG UEFI”, ipxe.efi
pxe-service=BC_EFI, “Boot to FOG UEFI PXE-BC”, ipxe.efi -
