Problem after upgrading from 0.32 to 1.1.1
-
Hi, sorry in advance I’m a total newbie to this. I just started working in a new gig where they had a FOG server running 0.32. It would kernel panic when trying to PXE boot our new ThinkPad T540p devices, so I thought an upgrade was in order. The upgrade went fine, and according to dhcpconfig my option 067 is correct, but for some reason whenever I PXE boot any device at all I now get the following:
[INDENT=1]Client MAC ADDR: xx xx xx xx xx xx GUID: xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]Client IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx MASK: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. DHCP IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]Gateway IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]TFTP.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
I’ve checked my tftp by using it to get the new 067 kpxe file, but then again if I connect to the web interface and try to download a new kernel it will hang at “moving file to TFTP”.Any ideas? Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

The fog username and password on the FOG Server (e.g. logging into the server as user fog) is working?
FOG Uses this to download kernel’s and place them in the proper directory.
Check permissions of the /var/www/fog/service/ipxe
[code]chown -R fog:www-data /var/www/fog/service/ipxe[/code]Make sure the FOG username and password are correct in FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->TFTP Server->FOG_TFTP_FTP_USERNAME and FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD as well as on the Storage Node. (Storage Management Page->All Storage Nodes-><YOUR STORAGE NODE>->Management Username and Management Password.
I’m assuming, of course, you’re using Ubuntu for the OS of the server.
-
Yes to the Ubuntu question. I went and checked, and hey look at that the password needs updating on the TFTP Server settings. Doh.
That being said, however, this only fixes my issue of getting new kernels. I still get the exact same result booting over PXE.

Have you tried restarting tftpd-hpa service?
Is your firewall disabled? -

Is option 67 set to undionly.kpxe? Is it possible your network needs shorter name? What happens if you create a link as pxelinux.0?
[code]sudo ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/pxelinux.0[/code]

From a Windows 7 machine can you run the folowing where x.x.x.x is your fog server ip. You may need to install the service under your “Add Windows features/services”
[I][SIZE=12px][CODE]tftp x.x.x.x get undionly.kpxe[/CODE][/SIZE][/I]

I get a “no such file or directory” on that because pxelinux.0 has a .old on the end of it now. I guess I could drop the suffix?
As to option 67. I am guessing this is somehow the issue, so is there a stupid proof way to check this? In my config files both in dhcp and dhcp3 I am pointed to undionly.kpxe.

This shows that the file exists and it is accessible to the network without firewall conflicts. Next I would direct you to your option 66 and 67 settings but Tom is already on that. Soooo…keep with him.

Will do, and thanks for your help thus far

[code]sudo ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/pxelinux.0[/code]
Will create the link for you. I’m already aware that pxelinux.0 doesn’t exist. What that command “no such file or directory” is telling you and maybe me is that /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe doesn’t exist on your system. This might very well be your issue.

the full error was “pxelinux.0: no such file or directory” which is why I figured it was that.
As for undionly, it’s in tftboot as a .kkpxe, .kpxe, .kpxe.INTEL, and .pxe.

Tom, the following is my dhcpd.conf located in /etc/dhcp3, did I goof somewhere along the way here?

[/quote]if that is a direct copy, i see the issue
undionly.kxpe should be undionly.kpxe

not a direct copy, so just a dumb typo. Good catch, though, you made me double-take for a second between screens :eek:
-
Any chance we can get a direct copy? PM it to Tom or something.

DHCP Server Configuration file.
see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
This file was created by FOG
use-host-decl-names on;
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
next-server 10.6.116.243;
filename “undionly.kpxe”;subnet 10.6.116.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 10.6.116.10 10.6.116.254;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
option domain-name-servers 10.6.116.246;
option routers 10.6.116.246;
filename “undionly.kpxe”;

Just to see what would happen, I made a symlink like Tom had suggested, but I made it to pxelinux.0.old. No change when booting a client over PXE
-
Do you have another DHCP server on your network, or is FOG the only one?
