PXE menu not loading on Latitude 3540

[quote=“TThax, post: 43015, member: 27004”]I changed it to undionly.kkpxe and now it does what you see in the image.[/quote]
that looks to me like a kernel/init to 32/64 bit mismatch
-
How would I correct that, Junkhacker?
I am running Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit, and I tried both the 64 bit and 32 bit kernels. Each change I make, it still works fine with the optiplex 330 I have been using as a test machine, just not with the latitude.

Match your settings here is what I have. IF you didn’t change any of the locations of things.

Wolfbane: All of my settings there look correct too. I just tried another latitude (E5530) that has never been imaged or registered with Fog, and it loaded the fog menu just fine. I changed it back to undionly.kpxe because the .kkpxe caused some different issues. It is doing what it did before, where it loads the screen attached, then it just reboots.

Are you getting this exact message and then it times out? If so then its not making it to the FOG MENU when this occurs. When this times out it means that this machine did not receive a DHCP address, thus never making it to the FOG MENU.

It appears to be drawing an IP before that screen. Attached is the two screens I see. I apologize for the poor quality, but it happens so fast that I couldn’t catch it when it was happening with a keystroke, so I shot video on my cellphone, and then took screenshots.
All of this is happening on the same switch as 2 other computers that aren’t having this issue, and I have tried changing this computers patch cable to a port on the switch that one of the others was using just to make sure that it wasn’t a problem with a specific port config.

have you checked for any bios updates available for that computer?
-
There was an update from A08 to A09. I updated it, same thing.
-
Would you please upstate to 3077?
-
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but update what to 3077?

Does it matter which way I do it?
-
Nevermind, upgrade in progress.
-
It is still timing out. I would suggest that it is just a problem with this model, but I have already uploaded twice and downloaded once to and from a couple of laptops of the same model. Although now when it times out, it doesn’t do a full reboot, it kicks it straight to a windows startup.
-
I don’t know what happened, but now after upgrading, my optiplex 380 won’t boot to Fog. It times out like it is a TFTP problem, but I rebooted the Fog machine and reset the tftp service on the Fog machine. I am about to leave this school and won’t be back until the 16th since they are at spring break next week. So, while I appreciate any responses, just know that I won’t be able to try anything until then.

Any news on this?? Please make sure TFTP is running and listening on the server:
[CODE]sudo netstat -antup | grep “:69”[/CODE] -
The server is running just fine now. It has imaged a few computers, but it was still never able to be seen by that laptop, so I just built an image from scratch for it so that I could get it to the teacher that needed it. At this point I think there is something wrong with the switch in this room (rather old 3com switch). I am getting the superintendent to buy new switches, but one thing at a time (because of the price tag).
