PXE reboot

A Former User

hey, thank for the response.

I changes the settings and the system no longer cycles round in PXE. However it still doesn’t load Ubuntu. After it prints…
/default.ipxe. . . ok
/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php. . . ok
‘Booting from SAN device 0X88’

and then nothing happens. I cant even restart with ctrl+alt+del

In FOG configuration (Web GUI), under iPXE boot menu, play around with the “Exit to Hard Drive Type”.
Default is Sanboot.

A Former User

I have tried all the options available, unfortunately none boot the system to ubuntu. The Sanboot option after repeated attempts remains as above. The other options “exit” and “grub” send the machine to a grub rescue command line. I need to restart manually and change the boot order in BIOS to load Ubuntu.

Is there a way to send it to the second boot option?

Um,

FOG now has everything it needs to setup your server, but please
understand that this script will overwrite any setting you may
have setup for services like DHCP, apache, pxe, tftp, and NFS.

It is not recommended that you install this on a production system
as this script modifies many of your system settings.

This script should be run by the root user on Redhat or with sudo on Ubuntu.

** Notice ** Redhat users will need to disable SELinux and iptables in
order to use FOG
Please see our wiki for more information at [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki[/url]
Here are the settings FOG will use:
Base Linux: Debian
Detected Linux Distribution: Ubuntu
Installation Type: Normal Server
Server IP Address: 192.168.90.83
DHCP router Address: 192.168.90.254
DHCP DNS Address: 192.168.90.10
Interface: eth0
Using FOG DHCP: 0
Internationalization: 0
Donate: 0

     DHCP will NOT be setup but you must setup your
     current DHCP server to use FOG for PXE services.

     On a Linux DHCP server you must set:
         next-server

     On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
         option 066 & 067

               Option 066 is the IP of the FOG Server: (e.g. 192.168.90.83)
               Option 067 is the undionly.kpxe file: (e.g. undionly.kpxe)
