IPXE and I210AT Chipset

[ZINGARO1972]

Hi,
Fog server “hang” during IPXE device configuration…
I have a problem only I210AT LAN chipset on Intel Atom Dual Core processor E3826

Exist e Kernel for solve the problem ?

Best Regards

This is not (yet) a kernel issue.“iPXE” comes before even loading the linux kernel. Do you see iPXE initializing devices or Configuring (net0 ...)??
The first is a driver issue - not an easy task but we might be able to solve this working together with the iPXE developers (have done this more than once). The later would mean a DHCP issue which probably isn’t too hard to solve yourself.

Edit: Seams like they have been working on this already: http://lists.ipxe.org/pipermail/ipxe-devel/2014-February/003139.html

HI,
the “hang” appears with "initializing devices "…

Which iPXE binary do you use? undionly.kpxe? First you can try using iPXE with native intel drivers. You can get the latest from here: http://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/packages/tftp/

Try ipxe.pxe, ipxe.kpxe, intel.pxe, … Let me know if this is getting you anywhere. Otherwise I can compile a binary with debugging enabled for you.

What do you mean by “insert these drivers into the kernel”?? Linux kernel and iPXE are two different things. You are still at the doorstep of iPXE and kernel is not an issue (yet).

What version of FOG do you use? See in the blue cloud on the web interface. Did you install FOG with DHCP or do you use a different DHCP server? Please run ls -al /tftpboot on your FOG server and post the output here.
