      Thanks for the advise.

      It seems that it is detecting the nic, once I booted undionly.kkpxe I got more of the initial boot.

      [CODE]
      UNDI device is PCI 01:00.0, type DIX+802.3
      555kb free base memory after PXE unload

        the kernel won’t have anything to do with this, you need to update your ipxe files instead.

          I think this is going to end up being an iPXE issue, so I went ahead and posted the issue on the iPXE forums. I will let y’all know if a fix is found.

          Thanks everybody for the help.

            You seem to have more than one network adapter… This is the one you propably want to make work (the second one is a wireless adapter):
            [CODE]PCI 01:00.0 (1969:1062) has driver “undipci”
            PCI 01:00.0 has mem 90500000 io 1000 irq 7

            Trying to find other people having used iPXE with 1969:1062 network card didn’t show up a lot of results when searching on the web. There is just an old post from 2011: [url]http://lists.ipxe.org/pipermail/ipxe-devel/2011-November/001024.html[/url] (see the ID there and read up a couple of post before that)…

            iPXE mailinglist is definitely the better place to find out about this! Would be great if you’d report back on how things turned out…

            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

              Hey all figure I’d give an update.

              Never heard anything back from the iPXE community but pressed on and almost got it solved.

              I added [COLOR=#ff0000]PCI_ROM(0x1969, 0x1062, “atl1e_62”, “Attansic L1E 0x1062”, 0),[/COLOR] drivers/net/atl1e.c and rebuilt iPXE and the laptop now fully loads iPXE! <I ran around the library when this happened>

              Unfortunately I get /default.ipxe…Connection times out after a few minutes.

              From the iPXE shell running dhcp<fails>, ifconf<passes> i can then chain the file.

              If i leave out dhcp ifconf fails, if I run ifconf first it fails but then if I run dhcp it passes which doesn’t make any since to me.

              So in a confusing summary:
              dhcp(fail)>ifconf>chain - works
              ifconf(fail)>dhcp>chain - works
              dhcp(fail)>dhcp>chain - works
              ifconf(fail)>ifconf>chain - works

              Set ipxescript to the following:
              [CODE]#!ipxe
              ifclose
              ifopen && goto bootme || goto netstart
              :netstart
              dhcp
              ifopen || reboot
              isset ${next-server} && goto netboot || goto setserv
              :setserv
              echo -n Please enter tftp server: && read next-server && goto bootme
              :bootme
              isset ${next-server} && goto netboot ||
              set next-server ${proxydhcp/next-server}
              isset ${next-server} && goto netboot || goto netstart
              :netboot
              ifopen
              dhcp || ifconf
              chain tftp://${next-server}/default.ipxe || shell
              [/CODE]

              Which then gives:
              Configuring (net0 d4:be:d9:05:f4:49)…Error 0x040ee19 ([url]http://ipxe.org/040ee119[/url])
              Configuring (net0 d4:be:d9:05:f4:49)…Error 0x040ee19 ([url]http://ipxe.org/040ee119[/url])

              And the boot process restarts. Any suggestions?

                Do you have STP enabled on your network (if so can you disable it temporarily or enable Rapid STP/Portfast?)

                Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

                  Same thing, the process only hangs on this particular model of laptop. I can get everything to load manually, but anything done through ipxescript fails.

                    More updates!

                    Enabled DEBUG=dhcp,tftp,http in the current ipxe build and this is the error that is thrown when running the dhcp command.

                    [CODE]DHCP 0x27f64 entering discovery state
                    DHCP 0x27f64 DHCPDISCOVER

                    Running dhcp again gives this.

                    10.1.1.104 - Client

                    I will solve this, I must.

                        [quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 43307, member: 7271”]Do you have STP enabled on your network (if so can you disable it temporarily or enable Rapid STP/Portfast?)[/quote]

                        HELLO Tom has a valid point here. If STP is enabled and you don’t have Portfast enabled it will cause iPXE not to work or work sporadically.

                          RSTP is enabled and here is the config for the interface on the switch:
                          [CODE]interface GigabitEthernet0/6
                          switchport access vlan 100

                            More modifications to the ipxescript and it works!!!

                            I know this is a very specific use case and probably a horrible way to go about it, but if it helps here are the modifications I made.

                            [CODE]#!ipxe
                            ifclose
                            ifopen && goto bootme || goto netstart
                            :netstart
                            dhcp && goto netboot || goto netstart
                            :setserv
                            echo -n Please enter tftp server: && read next-server && goto bootme
                            :bootme
                            isset ${next-server} && goto netboot ||
                            set next-server ${proxydhcp/next-server}
                            isset ${next-server} && goto netboot || goto netstart
                            :netboot
                            ping -c 1 FOG IP || goto netstart
                            chain tftp://${next-server}/default.ipxe || shell
                            [/CODE]

                            Thank you guys for all of your help and thanks to all the devs for everything. Fog is a truly amazing imaging system.

                              Awsome that you got it running now!

                              Have you talked to iPXE devs too?? Or do you mean FOG devs? I am just wondering because maybe iPXE devs would be able to help out fixing the driver itself. But if this is working for you, you might just leave it like that. Unfortunately I neither have the time nor the hardware to help with this any further although I’d love to help to get this properly fixed. 😉

                              Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)
