      @Matthieu-Jacquart Sorry, didn’t see you posted a picture already. So forget what I said about George’s suggestion. Network looks good! 🙂
      Too bad that we don’t see anything even with his debug enabled ipxe.efi binary. Well then lets try another way. Here is a different ipxe.efi file which brings you to the iPXE shell. Then try the following commands. Hope I got this all right. Sorry for all the typing involved but hopefully we might see some kind hint where things go wrong.

      iPXE shell> dhcp
      ...
      iPXE shell> kernel http://${next-server}/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage loglevel=7 initrd=init.xz init=/sbin/init root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 pcie_aspm=off consoleblank=0 isdebug=yes
      ...
      iPXE shell> imgfetch http://${next-server}/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz
      ...
      iPXE shell> imgstat
      

      Question is, what do you see after imgstat? Please take a picture. Then you can try booting it using the command boot.

      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)

                @Matthieu-Jacquart While I don’t have an answer for you, this picture is interesting. The client requests the bzImage file and replies with file not found, but then a bit latter it does find the file. It does the same thing with the init. Eventually it does get down to boot and then stops.

                It would be interesting to know what the apache logs look like at the same moments you get the above messages. I would inspect the apache error and access log. From the web server side does everything look normal where there is just three access requests for bzImage and then a few for the init? Or are there error messages logged in the apache error log?

                This picture makes me ask more questions than it provides an aswer:
                The question I have is the tablet not waiting long enough for the web server to respond with the file? Is there an error on the first few attempts and then it works? Is the web server slow to respond? Is your network connection faulty between the tablet and the web server?

                I also noted a bug in the image request (not related to your issue). The last 2 parameters are missing a space between “consoleblank=0isdebug=yes” should be “consoleblank=0 isdebug=yes”

                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!

                  @george1421 All error are my mistakes :

                  • I forgot blanck between “consoleblank=0 isdebug=yes”
                  • for replies “file not found”, I’ve just make error when I wrote the command. When it was weel written, it works immediately

                  I’m going to reproduce command without making mistakes 😉

                    @Matthieu-Jacquart Hmmm, looks interesting. But as George already said this seams to throw up even more questions. Please take a look at the apache error and access logs to see what happened at that point.

                    And there are more typos which probably don’t cause an issue at this stage yet but might later on: “rw” instead of “rz”, missing ‘/’ in “init=/sbin/init” and “root=/dev/ram0”.

                    Can you please post the ouput of the following commands on your FOG server:

                    ls -al /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage
                    ls -al /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz
                    file /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage
                    

                    Just want to see if the filesizes match and what version that kernel is.

                    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)

                        @Matthieu-Jacquart after that is all done, (init’s loaded and kernel loaded into memory) I think you need to type boot.

                          @Matthieu-Jacquart Also, could you try the loading without the init=/sbin/init part? I know you’re doing a ton of work, but I’m only working of a theory as to the corruption of the file during load up.

                            @Matthieu-Jacquart So this looks good from my point of view. Sizes match and you have a very recent kernel image. Good on the one hand but we are still in a loss on why it just hangs on your machine. Looking at ways on how to get more output I found the linux kernel option earlyprintk. From what I read it needs to be enabled when compiling the kernel. Right now I am building one and will let you know about where to download and how to test it as soon as I have it ready.

                              @Tom-Elliott I typed “boot” after init and kernel loaded, but it always stays on this screen, nothing change.

                              After that, I typed command without init=/sbin/init but it seems similar
                              0_1454329039862_WP_20160201_13_11_58_Pro.jpg
                              and boot always gives same result (I mean nothing ;))

                              I can do all test you need, ideally in 2 weeks I had to have cloned these 32 tablet 😞

                                So here we go. The new kernel command line with added parameters should be like this (all the other things stay the same):

                                iPXE shell> kernel http://${next-server}/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage_epk debug earlyprintk=efi loglevel=7 initrd=init.xz init=/sbin/init root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 pcie_aspm=off consoleblank=0 isdebug=yes
                                

                                See I added two more parameters (sorry for all the typing!). Here you find a kernel file called bzImage_epk. Please download this and put it in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/ on your FOG server. Keep the different name so you don’t have to move around your normal kernel. In the command shown above you see it referenced as bzImage_epk as well. Give this a try please.

                                    @Matthieu-Jacquart Thanks a lot for all the testing and pictures! No output from the kernel whatsoever?! This is a really hard one we are tackling here. Looking through the iPXE source code again I might have found some more debugging options we could try. Download this iPXE binary (DEBUG=image_cmd,image,efi_image) and give it a try. Will bring you to the shell again. Just try the same commands as before.

                                      @Sebastian-Roth Its interesting here, in that bzImage (I suspect) is getting corrupted, where in my test bzImage was getting downloaded but instead the root fs was being corrupted (somehow). Again this is only speculation, but it seems consistent with the bzImage or init not making it to the client correctly to be executed.

                                          @george1421 maybe secure boot is blocking it?

                                          Good point since bzImage is an OS. The OP should check to see if secure boot is turned off, or even can be turned off.

                                          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!
