Host pc/laptop not booting to the fog menu.

[Abbas]

Hi guys,

I am new to the fog system, so I built one on virtualbox to test it and it worked fine so now I built a fog server on an ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the config quite simple mostly by default dhcp and dns on another windows server so did the 66 & 67 job.

what’s happening with me is the following when I boot the host laptop it looks like everything going well until it reach the ipxe initilizing and say about 30 seconds it reboot.

I found the following errors under /var/log/syslog:

@Abbas Those are messages, not errors. Your fog server is running DHCP, because those messages are from dhcpd. Did you want to run DHCP on your fog server?

Lets try to get a little clarity around your setup here.

You have install fog, is it safe to assume you installed 1.2.0, or did you install the current fog trunk version (i.e. pre 1.3.0)?

Is it safe to assume you are using a Microsoft dhcp server? (your event log might suggest something different). One might think you have two dhcp servers covering the same subnet.

What exactly did you set options 66 and 67 to?

What is the IP address of your fog server?
