    Firstly, run all the “Compatibility” stuff from the FOG boot menu to see if things are OK with the target host you’re working with. Pay special attention to the MAC address that is reported, verify it’s correct.

    Second, check this out: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_TFTP

    Report back and let us know what happens.

      Also, what version of Fedora are you using now? Hopefully not Fedora 1.1 😐

      Also, what model of PC are you working with?

        @Wayne-Workman Ubuntu 12.04.05, not Fedora. The old server ran Ubuntu 10 and Fog 1.1.0 (UB10 / F1.1), sorry for the confusion

            Compatibility returned these errors. "acpi LNXCPU:00 invalid PBLK length [7] , acpi LNXCPU:01 invalid PBLK length [7]. The MAC address problem must be with the server, I have tried different targets. The server has 2 NICs, but only one plugged in.

              @mrbrown For the server’s “Host” entry in FOG, add both MACs and see what happens. Maybe try to connect the other NIC as well.

                @Wayne-Workman I’m not seeing where the hosts file contains MAC info

                    It will look different in 1.2.0. I’m using FOG Trunk.

                    If you don’t have these options, you might need to move to FOG trunk if you absolutely need to image this server (and others like it).

                    You can find more info here on using the Subversion method of updating to trunk, if you so choose https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN

                    I’d recommend reading up on the FOG Trunk version, there’s a tid-bit at the bottom of that page about it.

                      @Wayne-Workman Installed Fog Trunk and it works! I was able to register a host. Thanks for the suggestion, I had read up on it but never pulled the trigger. Still had to use .kkpxe for it to work, used .kpxe on last server, but that’s ok. Also fixed the need to manually restart the tftpd-hpa service after reboot, so all is good. Thanks again, Mick
