New install - No menu on clients!
-
Hi Guys,
Have a new install of FOG on Centos 6.6.
The system seems to be working perfectly in everyway except when it comes to loading the FOG Pxe Boot menu on a client.
I have added a client PC through the web gui and set a task to upload an image to the server without issue.
When I PXE boot the client it automatically starts the image upload…so I know its getting a good connection to the server etc.However, I have never seen the menu pop up! EVER!!
I started to boot the server over and over to try and see any messages on the screen. I have attached a screenshot of the messages just before it boots to the image upload (or if no task set for that machine, the first HDD).
Any ideas?[ATTACH=full]1499[/ATTACH]
Thank you in advanced!

What type of VM is this you’re having issues with.

Hi,
This is on a Hyper environment. So both the server and the client both running in the HyperV (2012 r2 DataCentre) environment.
The version of FOG is 1.2 installed on Centos 6.6

So I decided the start again. Reinstalled Centos, updated, installed Fog 1.2. Still I have the same issue.

this is a known issue with hyper-v, there are a few threads on how to fix it. i think you will find that physical clients work fine.
-
Hi,
Thanks for that. Do you mean because the FOG server is on HyperV or because the client machine is a hyperV vm?
regards
-
client. it’s an issue with limited pxe capabilities in the implementation of the nic rom in the vm. the server should be fine.
-
Thanks Dude! Virtualisation - its just not quite there yet is it!!??
In general I mean…not just for FOG!!Thanks for your help! If you do know of a link to a thread about to fix it, it would be much appreciated! Have had a scout through but nothing that really stood out as a fix…
cheers
-
if i recall correctly, there’s a line in a php file you need to comment out so that the more advanced console environment stuff doesn’t load in the ipxe boot menu. i think someone even had a bit of code that would test for hyper-v by mac address or something and disable that section of code. i think virtualbox and vmware work fine at this point, though.

That will be this then! :
