      iPXE is working. The problem now is finding a kernel that works on both the physical hardware and Hyper-V virtual machines…

      So far I’ve tried for bzImage:
      3.15.3 original32 for 1.1.2
      3.15.1 original for 1.1.2
      3.14.3 original for 1.0.1
      3.14.2
      3.12.5
      I used 3.12.5 on 0.32 successfully.

        Had the same problem with 1.1.2 and Hyper-V 2012R2.

        I just made the {fogwebdir}/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php line 600 hack conditional…

        [PHP]
        if (substr($_REQUEST[‘mac’],0,8)==“00:15:5d”){
        print “# Hyper-V MAC address detected - no console background\n”;
        } else {
        print “console --picture $this->booturl/ipxe/bg.png --left 100 --right 80\n”;
        }
        [/PHP]

        …Now all users still see the corporate branded background - and I can still capture master images in Hyper V 🙂

          What kernel (bzImage) are you using ?

            Loving the conditional code. All my system samples accept the iPXE 1.0.0.0 (53653) that comes with Fog 1.2.0 (svn 2041) after the conditional code is injected; now at line 601-605.

            I will branch off into my own Topic next post as I report on my testing the menu options and kernel.

                Apologies for grave digging but this seemed to be the best thread for the same issue (I searched on google and on the forum but couldn’t find a homogeneous solution. Anyway for others searching the same issue. I too had FOG 1.2 working fine on physical hardware but my hyper-v VMs were throwing up http://ipxe.org/2d8c203b “could not boot” errors. This is indeed due to a change needed in /fog/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php - hyper-v cannot render the bg.png apparently.

                for me, the line print "console --picture $this->booturl/ipxe/bg.png needed commenting out. Or you can make it conditional (on mac address)

                if (substr($_REQUEST[‘mac’],0,8)==“00:15:5d”){
                print “# Hyper-V MAC address detected - no console background\n”;
                 } else {        
                print "console --picture $this->booturl/ipxe/bg.png --left 100 --right 80\n";
                }
                

                Again sorry for grave digging but since this is top of the google tree then hopefully this can help someone else.

                  @KKTwenty101 I’d highly recommend moving to trunk as there is no more need to comment out the console lines.

                  Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

                  Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                    I did try to upgrade to SVN trunk but that brought nothing but errors and woe for me. I had INPUT/OUTPUT ipxe errors on client boot, it hung on sending inventory to server, http500 errors when I tried to manually check a mac via HTTP, “getbanner()” PHP errors in the console so in effect I gave it up as a bad one as I don’t have time to strip down and reinstall from scratch (I attempted to upgrade a working 1.2.0 to SVN trunk) at the moment (i’ll have a go installing from SVN trunk at some point and import the SQL configuration when I get a chance - I need to really as im running at about 600Mb/min on PIGZ 3 which is way slower than the old partimage 0.32 of close to 2Gb/Min I was used to)

                    I’ll do that again some time…

                    Ironically, SVN trunk calls bg.png from BootMenu.class.php, would that cause an issue? (I tried commenting that out in my failed attempt but since I was getting http500 errors on http mac ipxe calls then this wasn’t the real problem I was having)

                      @KKTwenty101 I’ve fixed the inventory send bug now, but I need to know more about this getbanner error’s you’re talking about.

                        I have a fresh centos VM install that I can use, i’ll have a look today and install SVN trunk from scratch. There could well have been something in the SQL backup restore that SVN didn’t like. I’ll post in a fresh thread so that this doesn’t get polluted too much.
