    @jguest what kind of hardware is in that computer? does it actually have a private mac address of 01:01:01:01:01:01 assigned to it?

      @Junkhacker It’s a Lenovo C260. The mac address isn’t 01:01:01:01:01:01. Other computers fail to boot as well.

        You can take a look at this article: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_TFTP

        I’d highly recommend looking at the “Troubleshooting” bit and using Wireshark to see if your clients are even getting the correct info passed to them via DHCP. Of course, go through the other things in that article too.

          @Wayne thanks for the link. I tested from a Windows machine and was able to successfully download undionly.kpxe from the fog server. So this means tftp is working correct? Anyone have any idea why it still doesn’t want to boot and what’s up with the weird mac address?

            I’d still say use TCPDump (in the troubleshooting section) and see what is going on between the client and server.

              Found this thread on the iPXE forums.

              No idea if this will help but all files were built with debugging enabled and latest commit as of today. It will also drop you into the shell on dhcp failure.

              tftpboot.tar.gz

                @jguest I had mentioned this in another thread, but you might try passing undionly.kkpxe as the boot file rather than undionly.kpxe. I have a lab of Lenovo Thinkstation E31s that had difficulty getting IPs and using the kkpxe was the only way I’ve been able to correct it.

                  To everybody responding to this thread. @jguest systems are loading in UEFI/EFI and appears, from what he can tell, to only allow EFI. This means, no amount of .{,k,kk,}pxe will work at all.

                  We made small progress with using the snp.efi file.

                    I’m solving this thread.

                    @jguest found the option to allow the physical systems to boot using undionly.kpxe. He’s using a pair between proxyDHCP so we linked the undionly.kpxe.0 file as necessary.

                    I still want to figure out snp.efi but at least he is able to go on with fogging.

                      Figured out how to boot the computers in legacy so we went that route instead of figuring out how to do it with UEFI. Thanks to all who helped, especially @Tom-Elliott, who is a very cool dude. Happy to finally get to work!
