Fog wont load past kernal_thread_helper+0x6/0x10
-
you stated that you have rebuilt a new server. has your DHCP been reconfigured for the new server?
-
[quote=“viper02, post: 25644, member: 23643”]there insnt a /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ file anymore…? should there be one in my tftpboot folder?[/quote]
no, we no longer use a configuration file in that location. the configuration file is now located in the root of the tftpboot folder, and the ipxe kernel should automatically find it. no configuration settings need to be set for it’s location
-
Yes i originally had a machine with fog 0.32 on it and updated but it left me with some issues. So i got new drive and reinstalled 12.04 and fog 0.33b fresh. would that DHCP setup be during the fog install? reading through the documentation should i be looking to modify an ltsp.conf file?
-
Ok looking at the fog setup my DCHP router address is empty and my dhcp dns address is as well byt my server ip address is set
-
is your fog server acting as your DHCP server? i had assumed it wasn’t. if fog is your DHCP server, it should have been configured automatically by the prompts you were given during install. if fog is not your DHCP server, the configuration that needs changed in on your DHCP server.
-
ok so i dont have a dnsmasq folder and ltsp.conf
-
is your fog server your DHCP, or do you have a dedicated DHCP server you can change options 66 and 67 on, or are you using dnsmasq?
-
Sorry i misunderstood
My DHCP server is seperate than my fog…
i have already made the changes to option 66 and 67 on my DHCP
as far as my fog machine goes its the same pc with a new drive and new install.
i am able to get into the fog web portal 192.168.5.5/fog
when i try to pxe from client i get
"TFTP.
PXE-T01: File not found
PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File not found
"
i have done a sudo stop tftpd-hpa
sudo start tftpd-hpa which is what usually was the problem during 0.32
do i need to create the dnsmasq as stated in [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server[/url]
I dont believe i should because the dhcp would handle all of that right?Ok so stepping back a little bit what do i need to do to fix the tftp problem… new install mysql is working because i can long into fog. what is the missing peice?
-
my 67 on my DHCP is = undionly.kpxe

First and foremost, setup the DHCP Router Address, make sure it points either at the FOG Server, or whatever the DHCP Server address is.
DNS Shouldn’t really matter, but usually it’s not a bad idea to have it setup even if this system is not going to be accessing the internet. Usually, you can set this the Default Gateway of the Router address. (In home routers your Router IP and DNS IP tend to be the same e.g. 192.168.1.1 for the default gateway and dhcp server, as well as the dns)
You need to tell your DHCP Server where it needs to look for the tftp server and what file. In linux, this is usually done through the next-server setting pointing at the FOG Server IP. In Windows DHCP Servers, these are under the scope options. Options 66 and 67 point to the IP of FOG and the file (undionly.kpxe or pxelinux.0) respectively. Option 66 would be the IP, Option 67 would be the file you’re trying to load. With FOG 0.33b, Option 67 should be undionly.kpxe. With earlier versions of FOG it was/is pxelinux.0
You state that you did not install a DHCP server in fog. That’s perfectly fine, but find out how to change the options so it points properly at the file and the ip of the FOG Server.
-
That part is already done, i did that with the original fog box per your instructions and have not changed anything on the DHCP server.
-
So the FOG Server IP on this new system is statically set as the SAME as the “old” fog server?
-
The only thing different is that i took you advice and did a clean install, with a larger drive
-
yes same information just a fresh 0.33b install instead of 0.32
-
Okay,
So we’ve established that Option 66 is the IP of the FOG Server.
Option 67 is set as undionly.kpxe.There is no DHCP Router address set in FOG, but that shouldn’t matter right now.
There is no DNS address set in FOG, but that shouldn’t matter right now.
Have you been able to successfully download the file via a command prompt window?
NOTE: YOU MAY HAVE TO INSTALL TFTP CLIENT IN WINDOWS Programs and Features.
[code]tftp -i <FOGSERVERIP> get undionly.kpxe[/code] -
My fog is on my ubuntu 12.04 why am I installing the tftp client on Windows?
I have the file in the ipxe folder -
Fog installed through script using the wget method from mastacontrola
-
You’re only installing tftp client on one of the systems you want to try to image.
This will let us know if the file’s even accessible.
-
Ok
-
the tftp client being installed on windows is just so you can test the tftp server on the linux box
