      Ok. I just figured out that I had the wrong network adapter booting to iPXE. But now, I’m getting errors when trying to load iPXE.

      “Could not configure console: No such file or directory ([url]http://ipxe.org/2d8c203b[/url])”
      “Could not boot: No such file or directory ([url]http://ipxe.org/2d8c203b[/url])”

      Then it just boots to the VHD like normal.

      Any ideas?

        I’m assuming you’ve downloaded via svn? What revision are you on?

        It may not have updated the undionly.kpxe file from the last change over.

        A way to ensure you’ve got the right undionly.kpxe file would be to download it directly through svn:
        [code]wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe -O /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe[/code]

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

            Running the latest version of fog .33b and I can confirm this is an issue with Hyper-V. Works fine from VirtualBox

              In my experiences… HyperV and VMWare don’t work well with fog without alterations.

                Hi guys, I am experiencing exactly the same issue in an Optiplex 780 and Optiplex 9020. I am running the latest version using bisync. Ver 0.32 worked fine for my Optiplex 780, but not for the 9020 so I decided to give 0.33b a try. I also try downgrading the kernel to 3.8.8 Core and 3.3.3 Core and I get the same error.[IMG]https://www.dropbox.com/s/450k0cceypfcsza/fog.JPG[/IMG]

                  I am also receiving this same error message as Speedy, when attempting to pxe boot a Hyper-V VM with Fog 1.0.1. I downloaded kpxe directly through svn (as suggested above) and have tried booting with multiple kernels. I have not experienced any issues using Fog 1.0.1 to pxe boot to physical machines. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

                  FOG Version: 1.0.1
                  OS Version: Ubuntu Server 12.04

                    Not to be a pain, but is there any update on this? I’m running FOG 1.1.1 with build 1639 of iPXE. I’m getting this error when trying to boot from my Hyper-V VM. Screenshot below.

                        Has there been any movement on resolving this issue? I am experiencing it also on my Hyper-V 2012. Physical machines have no issue.

                        Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS x64
                        Fog Project 1.1.2

                        Both clean virgin installs.

                        This is a game stopper for upgrading from 0.32 .

                            I’ve tried:
                            [CODE]wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe -O /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe[/CODE]
                            and
                            [CODE]
                            cd /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/
                            rm init.xz init_32.xz
                            wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/service/ipxe/init.xz
                            wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/service/ipxe/init_32.xz
                            [/CODE]

                            Plus I’ve tried [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/ipxe-issues-work-around.10727/[/url] . The symbolic link works, but the same error results.

                            The physical machines I’ve tried so far all work, it is only hanging up with my Hyper-V 2012 VMs with the same two errors as the original poster.

                                  Can you comment out all instances of console within those files? I believe there’s only one but I could be way off.

                                    There can be only ONE!

                                    ahem… There is only one instance of “console” in that context. There are two other entries as variables “consoleblank=0”

                                    And now, somehow, I’m back to the original condition without getting to the ControlKey and Username/Password.

                                    I read somewhere else, someone was having an issue where they could only get things to work immediately after rebooting the server. So I tried that.

                                    If I time the PXE boot on my VM to hit the FOG server within the first few seconds of restarting, I can get all the way to the PXE menu. I quickly then tried to do a Quick Host Registration.

                                    /bzImage… ok
                                    /init.xz… ok
                                    tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed
                                    The VM window re-sizes to what looks like 1024x768, then if I’m lucky, I might get to:
                                    piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.3: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr
                                    … otherwise it’s hanging after the screen re-size.
                                    I then disabled the firewall:
                                    [CODE]sudo ufw disable[/CODE]
                                    My VM is showing CPU usage above idle (12%) while I’m stuck.
                                    Meanwhile we’re looking into the SQL server.

                                      Alrighty… something’s working.

                                      I’ve been stepping up through the kernels and have landed on unofficial 3.15.3 that appears to be working … okay-ish.

                                      I’m grabbing a linux server vm right now and it spitting up errors like watermelon seeds along the likes of:

                                      bug: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code partclone.image/2520

                                      … but it is still working through the upload.

                                      Now to blow it all away back to bare metal and see what fixes are really needed.

                                        … but wait! There’s more!

                                        This current configuration with this kernel works but is extremely slow to proceed after “/init.xz… ok” on the physical machines I was using for testing. It eventually pops up a failure to configure the network adapter. (an Intel® 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection)

                                            Had the same problem with 1.1.2 and Hyper-V 2012R2.

                                            I just made the {fogwebdir}/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php line 600 hack conditional…

                                            [PHP]
                                            if (substr($_REQUEST[‘mac’],0,8)==“00:15:5d”){
                                            print “# Hyper-V MAC address detected - no console background\n”;
                                            } else {
                                            print “console --picture $this->booturl/ipxe/bg.png --left 100 --right 80\n”;
                                            }
                                            [/PHP]

                                            …Now all users still see the corporate branded background - and I can still capture master images in Hyper V 🙂
