Hi,

Suddenly stopped working.

Made no changes but it now errors out 4 times again.

I will maybe wait for your website to be back up to get the intel version.

Tom Elliott · May 20, 2014, 12:08 PM

It’s already back up.

Sorry I made a typo, and have corrected it above. The link to get it from should be:
[url]http://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe.INTEL[/url]

ah, i have tried this file now.

It’s still coming back up with the 040ee119 error and then boots after 5 or so attempts.

I previously had luck with [URL=‘https://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/1312/tree/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe?format=raw’][I][SIZE=12px][FONT=Consolas]https://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/1312/tree/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe?format=raw[/FONT][/SIZE][/I][/URL][I][SIZE=12px][FONT=Consolas] [/FONT][/SIZE][/I]

I seem to be having issues like this also but I have yet to produce an actual error code - usually it just goes straight to trying to load from the HD - I have tried a few of the other undionly.kpxe files with the undionly.kpxe.INTEL - I saw the fog UI for about 2 seconds before it disappeared and tried to boot the HD.

I tried the file at ([URL=‘https://mastacontrola.com/ipxe.kkpxe’][COLOR=#737373]https://mastacontrola.com/ipxe.kkpxe[/COLOR][/URL]) and it came up saying
Could not start download: Operation not supported ([url]http://ipxe.org/3c092003[/url])
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM

Not sure where to go from here but it looks like you guys are looking into it so Ill just be patient

Oh machine I am trying to work with right now is a Lenovo B575e Realtek ethernet - server is Ubuntu Server 14.04 and FOG 1.0.1

Steven Chew · May 20, 2014, 4:00 PM

Small update - I used the undionly.kpxe file talked about here ([url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/040ee119-error-on-boot.10493/[/url]) and I was able to get my Dell Inspiron All-In-One 2330 to the FOG UI and quick registration done but after a reboot it is back to saying the same Operation not supported.

Junkhacker · May 20, 2014, 4:11 PM

there are several versions of the undionly.kpxe file mentioned in that thread. which one did you use? i think the current recomendation is 1312
[FONT=Consolas]wget -O /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe [url]https://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/1312/tree/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe?format=raw[/url][/FONT]

Steven Chew · May 20, 2014, 6:55 PM

I will try that to make sure I have but I am pretty sure it was one of the many I tried (most of them listed I have tried)

Steven Chew · May 20, 2014, 9:52 PM

I am just lost at this point - one of the machines restarted for a Image upload task I setup and uploaded the image but during any subsequent restarts I still can’t get the FOG UI window up on that machine or any others…I did try the undi file you listed and still no luck. It seems to just work when it wants. I give up for the day.

I have tried every config file on the other thread now with to no avail with our various dell PCs, the one that has been recommended (1312) works intermittently.

I really do love fog, and it has been a MASSIVE tool here at our organisation. But we may have to roll back to 0.33 build.

Junkhacker · May 21, 2014, 1:05 PM

what model dells have you been having problems with? perhaps we can get other people testing with the same models

Seb · May 21, 2014, 2:34 PM

I have quite a few, all produce the same intermittent issue with the menu.

We have the following models

Optiplex 3010
Optiplex 7010
Optiplex 390
Optiplex 380
Optiplex 760
Latitude E6420 & E6500

All the other features of fog work well, we are still capturing and deploying images across the network and just enabling and disabling the boot option in dhcp as and when we need it. (Havent tried any win8 or multipoint 2012 image captures yet, always failed on .33)

Junkhacker · May 21, 2014, 8:02 PM

what OS is your server?
checking around the office, we have used the ipxe boot method for, at least, the 3010,7010,390, and E6420 of those

When you say “roll” back to 0.33 build, do you mean the revision where it was still known as 0.33? I would say that’s likely not going to work in your situation.

Reason being is 1312 IS the undionly.kpxe that was being use.

Sorry, that was a typo, i meant 0.32b

thanks for all you’re doing guys, we are running a ubuntu 12.04 LTS server, we tried to upgrade to 14.04 but it said our dell 2950 wouldn’t cope.

Bob Martens · May 22, 2014, 1:38 PM

I’m having issues where our desktops (using mostly M4A785 boards from ASUS) are hanging at initializing PXE when using our new Ubuntu 14.04 + Fog 1.0.1 server.

I’ll try the new image and see what happens.

Tom Elliott · May 22, 2014, 2:09 PM

try:
[code]sudo wget -O /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe https://mastacontrola.com/ipxe.kpxe[/code]

This should have the drivers for all the cards that IPXE has and should allow initialization of the device.

Bob Martens · May 22, 2014, 2:15 PM

Thanks, I was able to get one of the test machines to boot properly. Now I will wait and see if the other ones break again.

With this one in a room of 30 dell 3010s every one continually restarts and loops when they get the 040ee119 error.

I tried [URL=‘https://mastacontrola.com/undionly.kpxe’][I][SIZE=12px]https://mastacontrola.com/undionly.kpxe[/SIZE][/I][/URL] and with this one in the same room and around 50% of them got to the menu first time, the others would restart between 2-5 times before working.

I tried this again and it was different pcs every time that worked.
