Ok

[Junkhacker]

the tftp client being installed on windows is just so you can test the tftp server on the linux box

[Junkhacker]

have you tested if the file on the tftp server is accessible ?

i ran the tftp and it gave me the following…
timeout occurred
connect request failed

[viper02]

i checked the folder [SIZE=4][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000][FONT=courier]/etc/xinetd.d/tftp[/FONT] and there isn’t a tftp file only chargen, daytime, discard echo and time[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

What is different between the .032 and 0.33 it seems that the tftp only works when going to pxelinx.0

[viper02]

what is your value for [FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#555555]FOG_TFTP_PXE_CONFIG_DIR under fog settings tftp server?[/COLOR][/FONT]

[Tom Elliott]

viper, there is nothing for FOG_TFTP_PXE_CONFIG_DIR set for 0.33b because it’s not needed or used in any way.

[need2]

I about caved my keyboard in with my face yesterday when I made the jump to 0.33 and couldn’t get TFTP transactions to work either. I checked everything, and even did a sudo clean install, but to no avail. Finally I double checked my DHCP settings, and I swear some documentation somewhere told me to use undionly.pxe, when it should be undionly.kpxe . Once I fixed that Option 67 on my DHCP, magically everything worked.

I blame reading the wrong thing somewhere but I know it was likely my own internal processing error.

[viper02]

So i decided to go back a recheck everything including my bosses changes to the DHCP. It appears that it was only changed under server options and not scope options. So yea i’m ready to do the same to my keyboard… After making sure that it was changed on both i was able to successfully pxe boot and i am currently uploading my image to the server… Thank you all so much!! couldn’t have done it with out everyone.
One final question it gives me the choice for part clone or part image, i selected part image but in noticed that during the imaging part clone is running , and its moving along quite slowly.
Either way progress none the less.

[need2]

Partclone is the new method. Partimage is the old one. No research to back this up but it appears that partclone handles compression more efficiently. You should only have Partimage selected for legacy images from 0.32, and ideally you should replace those eventually with new images from 0.33 .

[Junkhacker]

we have moved to partclone for compatibility reasons. you do not want to use partimage for new images.
