TFTP PXE boot timing issue Could not start download: Operation not supported
-
This fixed my problem: Option 67 should be pointing at: undionly.kpxe

Thanks for that, but we are using the FOG server as the DHCP, but this isn’t our problem; if I pause the screen for a moment, it all works OK.

I’m going to be taking a look at the source code for how it goes into configuring and seeing if I can make a pause of about 3 seconds to hopefully “fix” the timing issue being reported. We know it’s a timing issue, but I’m not in charge of the ipxe source code. If this delay fixes it, maybe I can post it to somebody who’s willing to commit the change into the official source.

Thanks for posting Tom.

thank you for your bug report. we now believe we have a fix. -
Just an update to explain that this hasn’t fixed the issue, and I still have the same error. This wasn’t an issue with 0.32 and the same hardware.
Thanks.

Sadly, ipxe.kpxe or ipxe.kkpxe haven’t fixed the issue, so I’m relying on my ‘pause’ method for the moment. Using ipxe.kkpxe renamed to undionly.kpxe caused a red screen of death with an illegal upload message.

Interestingly, we tried to use our setup to image a VM and we get the same error as the OP.
Due to time constraints, we are going to retrograde to 0.32 (on another server hosting[COLOR=black]FOG[/COLOR]), but format the node to be cloned with Ext3… and hope that works OK!
Nevertheless, thank you for your effort in this.

We continue to face hurdles, but 12.04 with FOG 0.32, grub (not grub2) seem to work with DL360e Gen8, although we now have to figure out how to avoid eth0 disappearing after cloning.
