IPXE : Could not start download: Operation not supported
-
so im getting the “operation not supported” message when i try to pxe boot a VM but a physical machine is able to.
I think i read a post about there being some updated pxe files?
-
What VM?
-
the VM is running in VMWare esxi 5.5. i setup a win7 vm to sysprep to create an image from.
-
i edited the tftp config file. it listed root as the user and 0.0.0.0:69 as the ip address. I changed these to ‘fog’ and 127.0.0.1: respectively.
any ideas where i could find a log of why the connection is failing for this vm? it has worked on this vm in the past.
-
my best guess, did you upgrade the Hardware version/OS of the VM?
-
no. i set this vm up a couple weeks ago. clean install of win7.
-
any ideas what i can try next?

Which DHCP Server do you use? The one configured by FOG or a different one. Here is an interesting post on missing ‘next-server’ DHCP option: [url]http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.ipxe.devel/3529[/url]
And here is another one on wrong scope: [url]https://communities.vmware.com/message/2139349[/url]
Please provide some more information about your setup and which DHCP server is used (plus configuration…).

this is a little embarrassing. I dont know if i am losing my mind or if a co-worker is fucking with me but the dhcp settings were removed. We are using windows dhcp, added options 66 and 67 back in and its working again.
Thanks a lot guys. This community is great!
