PXE issues?
-
Hi there,
I updated yesterday from 1.1.2 to 1.2.0, then i get the same error,
after reading the post, i installed & configure dnsmasq.then now i got this error :
PXE-T01: File not found
DASH-E3B: TFTP Error - File not found
DASH-M0F: Exiting Option ROMThe DHCP score options 66 & 67 are good (like for the 1.1.2)
i tried to restore old tftpboot directory, same error.
i check the dnsmasq, don’t see any errors.Fog is installed on a Ubuntu 14.04
ps sorry for my bad english
-
finded the solution :
ln -s undionly.kpxe undionly.0 -
I’m not sure why this fixed my problem, but it did. We were getting timeouts/hanging at kernel download…
I’d love to hear an explanation of what is looking for undionly.0…

Hello, I’m the rookie that struggled with TFTP login issues all day yesterday. I reinstalled FOG 1.2.0 today and it seems to have fixed that problem. Today I’ve struggled with the PXE boot. I can turn on a Dell D620, but get the T01, E3B file not found on my three victims (old Dell D620 (32bit), Thinkpad E440 (64) and a 64-bit VM). I tried adding an advanced menu option, but haven’t seen it come up. I’m not using FOG for DHCP and do get an IP address. DHCP entries for 66 and 67 have been made. The undionly.kpxe file does exist in the TFTPBOOT folder. I went with 12.04 LTS desktop version after getting befuddled with the server version which I tried after getting befuddled with the desktop version. I’ve tried using the undionly.kpxe.INTEL file as well, but went back to undionly.kpxe. FOG does turn on the D620 (the bright spot in the day), misses the PXE boot with the file not found errors, gets to the Windows login screen and then shuts down to try it all over again. This is what I get from the boot.php file. Any advice you can give me would be most appreciated.

Can you follow the tftp troubleshooting guide on the wiki?
[url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Tftp_timeout[/url]From what I can tell, your particular issue is that it’s not even getting to the undionly.kpxe file. NO amount of work or changes or additions to the advanced menu, or any menu for that matter, will help you see a menu if you’re not getting the file that’s needed.

[INDENT]The firewall is disabled and I can successfully transfer the file via TFTP on my windows machine. Rights to tftpboot folder show: Owner=1002 (a user created as part of the installation?), Group=root and Others=Access Files. Not sure how to adjust that, but I made sure the rights to the images folder look OK (owner is root). Even tried a subfolder in images with ‘create and delete’ rights for all users even though I’m not getting that far in the process. Thank you for the help, Tom![/INDENT]

[/quote]Did you set up DNSMasq again?
-
Tried to install dnsmasq and it threw an error about dnsmasq-base being an unmet dependency. This sure is making me nervous though I do appreciate the advice.
-
which version of 12.04 did you install, 12.04.1LTS? 12.04.4 LTS? 12.04.5LTS?
-
It just says 12.04 LTS. I have not done the 81 updates that are available. I did try to do this: chmod -R 777 /tftpboot and got ‘operation not permitted’. This folder is owned by mystery user #1002 which does not show up in my user list. I have not been able to get dnsmasq set up because each roadblock requires study on my part.
-
try [code]
sudo chmod -R 0777 /tftpboot
[/code]Your user may not have the required privileges to chmod that folder without sudo.
I only ask so I can download a version and try to replicate your issues.

It still surprises me that my user account is an Administrator, but I’m still not Queen of the Ubuntu castle. Mercy, I’ve made no progress today … my new boss must be totally impressed with the new Tech Lady.

[quote=“Jaymes Driver, post: 34020, member: 3582”]You could always try DNSMasq to proxy serve your bootfile and server, sometimes this can alleviate issues with finding the correct files.
I was having the same error and I tried the above link now I get the new menu screen but it just constatly flashes that screen and noting else.
-
I just went back to .32 it works with no extra troubleshooting.

It’s tempting, John, but I’m not giving up just yet.
