Nothing is working...
-
[SIZE=3][FONT=arial]So I’m running 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on a Dell Optiplex 755 (physical server). In my network, there are three different Dell models I have attempted a PXE boot into.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=arial]1 Dell Vostros[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=arial]2 Dell Optiplex 9010[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=arial]3 Dell Optiplex 990[/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=3][FONT=arial]Now, I have a unique situation here. First, 1 boots perfectly, absolutely no flaws. That’s all good and well, however, 2 and 3 don’t function. 2 will hang for a while and give me an error “PXE-E[COLOR=#000000]51 No DHCP or DHCP Proxy Offers received” I don’t know why it would not receive an IP from the DHCp server, when #1 does. 3 Goes for a while, then stops and says “Could not boot: Input/ouput error ([url]http://ipxe.org/1d0c6139[/url])”[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=3][FONT=arial]Please help! I’ve been at this all week and I haven’t even uploaded my first image!

Can you post screen shots?
How is it “Nothing is working” when right in your first statement you say it IS working?

[quote=“Jordon Rapp, post: 28082, member: 24302”]3 also gives me an address to this file located on my server at /fogserver/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php:[/quote]
What was/is the purpose of this post?
-
What BIOS rev are your optiplexs on and what kernel do you happen to be using? And I assume you have the secure boot and all forms of UEFI disabled?
-
Sorry, I’m not great with titling things.

I just updated the 9010 to A09 from A08 in hopes that a newer version would have something useful. UEFI is disabled on all three. The purpose is to get this server to function. That address comes up on the error screen.

autoboot[/code]What happens if you go to the link:

What’s in your apache error logs then? Specifically referencing the boot.php
-
Nothing specifically referencing boot.php. Here’s my log if you want to have a look: [URL=‘http://www.pastebin.com/BAUs2mub’]pastebin.com/BAUs2mub[/URL]
Edit: log from today.

What is the error? The PXE-M0F error?

Took a look and it appears the database isn’t linking properly. Are you able to login to the FOG GUI?
-
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 28111, member: 7271”]Are you able to login to the FOG GUI?[/quote]
Yes I am. The GUI loads perfectly, but I am not able to PXE what-so-ever.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 28110, member: 7271”]What is the error? The PXE-M0F error?[/quote]
bump?
-
The PXE-E51 and M0F errors both, the Vostros now looks just like the 9010s.
-
Have you, possibly, thought of performing a reinstall of FOG?
It sounds like, with these messages, tftpd-hpa service isn’t running properly.
-
I have done that twice, but I’m not opposed to doing it again if you think that will solve it.
-
I would suggest you cleanly scrub out your current FOG install and all packages that are then no longer needed, then start again.
And honestly I would suggest using about any other Linux distro other than Ubuntu 14.04.
