Fog problem with lenovo thinkcenter M73

[A Former User]

I think my installation was finish because i have :

[I] Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.^C[/I]
[I]Script finish sur jeu. 26 mars 2015 14:58:43 CET[/I]

[Tom Elliott]

Based on what I’m reading, the information did not get installed.

It looks like instead of typing the [Enter] key, somebody pressed the ^C (CTRL + C) which breaks the script.

Google Translate:
Sur la base de ce que je lis, l’information ne est pas installé.

Il ressemble au lieu de taper sur la touche [Entrée], quelqu’un a appuyé sur le ^ C (CTRL + C) qui rompt le script.

That is not the finish of the script. It should end with:
[CODE] * Setting up and starting MySql…OK

• Backing up user reports…OK

• Setting up and starting Apache Web Server…OK

• Changing permissions on apache log files…OK

• Downloading kernels and inits…OK

• Downloading New FOG Client file…OK

• Copying back any custom hook files…OK

• Copying back any custom report files…OK
  You still need to install/update your database schema.
  This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:

  http://192.168.0.3/fog/management

Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.

• Setting up storage…OK
• Setting up and starting DHCP Server…Skipped
• Setting up and starting TFTP and PXE Servers…OK
• Setting up and starting VSFTP Server…OK
• Setting up sudo settings…OK

Setup complete!

You can now login to the FOG Management Portal using
the information listed below. The login information
is only if this is the first install.

This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:

        Username: fog

I’m already re installed FOG and nothing but all computer work with this server but just our Lenovo thinkcenter M73. My problem is with Lenovo think center M73.

I am very grateful for your help

[Wayne Workman]

I believe the Thinkcentre M73 uses UEFI booting by default.

Your installation log indicates you’re using FOG for DHCP.

UEFI enabled systems generally use ipxe.efi to boot with.

You can set option 067 to point to ipxe.efi and then try to network boot the Thinkcentre M73.

The settings are in this file: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

You would change
[CODE]filename “undionly.kpxe”; [/CODE]
to:
[CODE]filename “ipxe.efi”; [/CODE]

Or, you can try to disable UEFI and enable legacy boot, and PXE boot in the BIOS on the Thinkcentre M73.

Let us know how it goes.

Also, the others above this post are correct, that is not the end of your installation log.

When you see this:
[CODE]You still need to install/update your database schema.
This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:
http://192.168.0.3/fog/management
Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.[/CODE]

That means you should use a web browser and go to this address:
[CODE]http://192.168.0.3/fog/management[/CODE]
and click on the “Update Database” button.
After doing that, then you would press [Enter] for the installer.

After you’ve re-ran the installer, please give us your entire installation log.

We use this log to help troubleshoot problems.

Okay thank you, I try it monday and I tell if it work !

[A Former User]

Hello again !

I try to change filename in dhcpd.conf and while the boot i have this message :

[B][I] TFTP.[/I][/B]
[B][I] PXE-T01: file not found[/I][/B]
[B][I] PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File not found[/I][/B]
[B][I] PXE-M0F : Exiting PXE ROM[/I][/B]

My database it’s okay ;), the server works with other computer, but just with Lenovo.

Thanks for your help!

[Wayne Workman]

Please post your dhcpd.conf file here so we can take a look at it.

Also, look inside your /tftpboot directory and verify that the file is actually there.

Also, what is the model of the problem Lenovo?

And in /tftpboot directory I don’t have “ipxe.efi” :

My problem with Lenovo thinkcenter M73, i can’t boot on fog with it… i have one dash and it’s all

[Wayne Workman]

this might do it:

[CODE]sudo wget ‐‐continue ‐‐timestamping https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/ipxe.efi -O /tftpboot/ipxe.efi[/CODE]

Otherwise, manually download the ipxe.efi file and put it into the /tftpboot directory.
The file is here:
[url]https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/[/url]

I think : Thinkcenter M73

Edit : The [B]M73z[/B] is in Working Devices of the wiki : [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/WorkingDevices[/url]

[Wayne Workman]

Just tested this and it appears to work:
[CODE]sudo wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/ipxe.efi -O /tftpboot/ipxe.efi[/CODE]

Right, but his ipxe.efi isn’t present inside /tftpboot

EDIT: lol, the model name is in the thread title. Duh.

[Sebastian Roth]

Give ipxe.efi a try but I have a feeling that it will fail!! You better try to change the BIOS settings to legacy mode and use undionly.kpxe (see in the WorkingDevices list…)
