Help!!! Usb boot Fog
-
In response,
In response, I will not disparage in any dnsmasq time, make it clear, and it Show me otherwise. For the configuration of the DHCP server that is currently running, simply discard it, which is very different to discredit.
The dhcp currently already working a bootloader that raises an alternative desk working on dumb terminals, so to call them.
For this reason, only you boot the pc in question by network Win up the image of this on the server.
I can not disable the current dhcp, or deploy a parallel that would bring many conflicts on the network, and has gone on another occasion.
Try to Syslinux a bootable USB … and within the / copy as is the / tftpboot the Mist, not willed, does absolutely nothing.
CLARIFY THAT I AM A BEGINNER TOTAL WITH FOG AND LINUX.
I hope I have understood a little more context.
If anyone has already been able to boot to usb Foggy, I saw several queries about this, if I can help it would do me a great favor !!!
Thank you very much !!! -
Within my USB drive, I have only
ldlinux.sys a file and a folder called / tftpboot is copying / fog / tftpboot as is indicated above me …When booting from the USB, I displayed:
SYSLINUX 4.04 …
ERROR: NO CONFIGURATION FILE FOUND.
NO DEFAULT CONFIGURATION UI DIRECTIVE OR FOUND.
BOOT:According to the post [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bootable_Media[/url]
I have also copied the / tftpboot
Then copy the file to the root /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default of the usb stick and rename it to syslinux.cfg. This should be it, your drive Should Contain the following: \ fog \ syslinux.cfg
Within / tftpboot appears not /pxelinux.cfg/default
Thanks! -

You need to rename a bootfile in /tftpboot to /syslinux.cfg
I assume you just rename the file you want to use… so we will use undionly.kpxe
[CODE]cd /[/CODE]
[CODE]cd <FlashDriveMountName>[/CODE]
[CODE]cp /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe syslinux.cfg[/CODE](some of the) Resources used:

Beware, I’ve not tested any of this yet, I merely went through the steps myself till I sort of figured it out… maybe. It’s late… going to bed…

Is this of use.

The CD just provides the boot stuff, everything else is pulled from the FOG Server.You can make a bootable usb from the ISO, we used RUFUS

Thank you very much to all, as have some novelty’ll let you know !!!
Your understanding that if no answer is because someday I could do tests.
Again I thank all !!! I keep abreast !!!
Thank you !!! -

Dude, I followed your instructions to the letter, and nothing …
I still appears boot: the display … waiting an order …
Any ideas ??? Other help ???
Thank you very much!
-
I never guaranteed that those instructions would work…
I tested the flash drive that I made and it also did not work. I’ll work on it more this weekend, I’ve got a 3 day weekend; took Monday off.

Disclaimer: I have only tested this on Lenovo laptops.
Go to this wiki entry: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Building_undionly.kpxe[/url]
Follow steps until you get to ‘Build the undionly/ipxe files.’
Build ipxe.usb with this command: [CODE]make bin/ipxe.usb EMBED=ipxescript[/CODE]
Find your usb location (/dev/sdc for me): [CODE]ls -l /dev/sd*[/CODE]
Write ipxe.usb to the usb:[CODE]dd if=bin/ipxe.usb of=/dev/sdc[/CODE]
-
Thank you very much, I also am going to try the weekend !!!
-
Well guys, I was a little lost with this issue … and I wanted to revive …
I need you through a USB flash drive, if possible I ask for a ip and server redirect me where I have my fog.
I hope your answers !!!
Thanks !!!
-
Ok. Let’s start over.
You’re using FOG 1.2.0.
What distribution and version of Linux?
-
Correct, fog 1.2.0 and 7.8.0 debian.
-
And you said you’d try dnsmasq if it was simple ?
-
I have no idea how it works dnmasq … if not bring me problems with what is already armed … there would be problems.
My dhcp, currently assigned ips, and also has a boot loader for dumb terminals for remote desktop working … and it is not feasible to modify this …
Therefore, I need “something” bootee via USB, take my dhcp ip, and be redirected to the server will boot directly fog … if by network normally reach a remote Windows desktop …
I hope is clear, as I am using Google translator, not handle the English.
Apologies and thank you very much for your help !!!
-
Ok.
I’ll work on a USB boot drive tonight, and if/when I get it going, I’ll provide an ISO copy.
I want one for myself anyways.
-
Thank you very much for your help !!!
If it is easier to teach and explain a dnsmask … and not generate problems will miss him … welcome received !!!
The only bear with me … I’m a beginner with all this !!!
