Realtek 8168 NIC issue with PXE bootmenu

[Tom Elliott]

Do me a favor and try the ipxe files from trunk.

To do so open a terminal and become root (whether directly or through sudo.)

Run:
[code]svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp svntftpboot
cp -Rf svntftpboot/* /tftpboot/[/code]

Maybe this will help?

I have got a link from 2012 that has a similar problem: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/dell-3010-not-compatible.3334/[/url]

EDIT: I will try the option

[Wallioo]

I have done the option you gave me, but to no avail.
I still get the same error.

what I have done is:

• downloaded tftpboot dir from svn
• copied the svn dir to the tftpboot.
• try to reboot Dell and HP clients. (HP works, Dell doesn’t)
• Restart service tftpd-hpa
• try to reboot Dell and HP clients. Same result.

On the system that’s giving you the problem, can you take a video of the issue and post it?

[Wallioo]

I have a public link of the video now.
It is 120MB. forgot to change the settings in a hurry

Here is the link

At time index 1:20 you get the wonderful error code!

Error 0x040ee119

Read thru the last few pages. This is most likely due to something not right in your environment.

Also check your network switches.

We have succes with :
wget -O /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe [url]https://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/1312/tree/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe?format=raw[/url]
We can register the client to Fog. Deploy and upload works fine, but the wake on lan does not work on the Dell 3010…
I have checked the bios setup, and wake on lan is enabled with PXE.

Edit: Wrong link!

WOL works on the HP machine, but not on the Dell 3010 .

[Wallioo]

We have tried the 1312 version of undionly.kpxe again and it seems to be working.
We will update the latest news monday.

Thank you, Tom and Wolfbane for the help.

you may have to check your power management settings
from dell:
[CODE]Wake from hard shutdown (S5) and hibernate (S4) does not work any more. This is by-design Windows behavior.
This change is due to Microsoft design changes in Windows 7 & Windows 8
For optimal Wake-On-LAN operation, power management setting should not go below Sleep (S3)[/CODE]

[Wallioo]

It took a while to get everything straight.
The server is up and running with the 1312 revision of undionly.kpxe
Each dell has to enable Wake on LAN /w PXE and [B]disable deep sleep mode.[/B]
With this settings the setup works for me with the standard configuration.

My project is tested and approved today, so thanks again for the help.
