ipxe.org timeout error 4c126035

[Anson Washington]

I am trying image a few laptops and I am receive this message ipxe.org timeout error 4c126035. What is weird is the it sometimes goes through so I can run a full registration and inventory but when i try to image i get that message. A different machine I that message regardless and they are the same model. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 lts with ver.1.2 of fog.

I’d highly recommend running a newer version of Ubuntu.

Are you using FOG for DHCP? Have you tried a different model computer to determine if it is the client or the FOG server?

[Anson Washington]

I is just this model. It a Dell Inspiron 6400. I have tried installing kernels but nothing still

[Sebastian Roth]

Please try and boot this client to a normal OS (either installed Linux/Windows or get it up with some kind of live CD). Then see if you can download the boot files by hand: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Tftp_timeout…#Testing_TFTP

Are those “mysterious” clients hooked up to a different switch on your network than all the others?

Sorry, just saw that the link is crucked. Use this link http://tinyurl.com/oeu3cg6

@Wayne-Workman I just added this to your wiki todo list… https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/WiKi_To-Do_list#Merge_this and I really wonder why we still have those two pages floating around

So I upgraded to ubuntu 14.04 lts and I thought everything was good until this morning when I start receive the same error. I can’t figure out what is going on.

Sorry Tom I am not getting exactly what you are suggesting that I do.

[Tom Elliott]

Check that TFTP is indeed running. You can look at: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_TFTP

I’m showing the link because this is presented to you (the ipxe.org link.) This leads to helping in the “figuring out stage”.

Oh my word…

@Wolfbane8653 if you look at these two articles, the one thing that the one you created has that the one I created does not is getting pxelinux.0 via tftp as a test. I have merged that into my article, and we can then redirect the one you wrote to the one I wrote?

I just wanted to formally run that by you. I know a lot of work goes into writing these.

I went through and tried the TFTP troubleshooting and everything seems to be good. I was able to pull undionly.kpxe from windows machine and all. This is a fresh install of Ubuntu and a new clean install of Fog Server 1.2.0. Thanks for the help but this is not making any sense why it will work for a minute to register it then timeout the next.

@Anson-Washington make sure the firewall is off, make sure Apache is running. Restart apache.

Does the web interface work for you at all?

[Anson Washington]

I have the web interface. I have the firewall disabled. When I try to restart Apache I get and 127.0.1.1 error. I followed the step to correct that message but it still pops up

[Sebastian Roth]

Well, there is a lot of guesswork involved as we are not sitting in front of the machine. But you could help us to help you by capturing a packet dump on your FOG server. Fire up this on your server tcpdump -i eth0 -w pxeboot.pcap udp and let it sit there while you are getting up that machine causing the issue. As soon as you see the error hit CTRL+C to stop tcpdump and upload the PCAP-file to the forum here.
