Nothing is working...

[Jordon Rapp]

[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! [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

3 also gives me an address to this file located on my server at /fogserver/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php:

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?

[need2]

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?

[Jordon Rapp]

Sorry, I’m not great with titling things.

[Jordon Rapp]

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.

What happens if you go to the link:

When I go to that link I get a blank white screen.

[Tom Elliott]

What’s in your apache error logs then? Specifically referencing the boot.php

[Jordon Rapp]

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.

Well that’s now the case. I ran full registration on the Vostros, they stalled, I restarted them, now they return the same error as the 9010s.

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?

[Jordon Rapp]

[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.

[Tom Elliott]

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 28110, member: 7271”]What is the error? The PXE-M0F error?[/quote]

bump?

[Jordon Rapp]

The PXE-E51 and M0F errors both, the Vostros now looks just like the 9010s.

[Tom Elliott]

Have you, possibly, thought of performing a reinstall of FOG?

It sounds like, with these messages, tftpd-hpa service isn’t running properly.

[Jordon Rapp]

I have done that twice, but I’m not opposed to doing it again if you think that will solve it.

[need2]

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.
