TFTP hangs in PXE boot, resulting in PXE session ending.

[_mateo]

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks so much for the quick response! I guess I should also specify that I’m on Ubuntu 14.04 and fog 1.2.0.
Sorry for any formatting issues, I’m pretty green when it comes to Linux.

# Configuration file for dnsmasq.
#
# Format is one option per line, legal options are the same
# as the long options legal on the command line. See
# "/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --help" or "man 8 dnsmasq" for details.

# Listen on this specific port instead of the standard DNS port
# (53). Setting this to zero completely disables DNS function,
# leaving only DHCP and/or TFTP.
#port=5353

# The following two options make you a better netizen, since they
# tell dnsmasq to filter out queries which the public DNS cannot
# answer, and which load the servers (especially the root servers)
# unnecessarily. If you have a dial-on-demand link they also stop
# these requests from bringing up the link unnecessarily.

# Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part)
#domain-needed
# Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces.
#bogus-priv


# Uncomment this to filter useless windows-originated DNS requests
# which can trigger dial-on-demand links needlessly.
# Note that (amongst other things) this blocks all SRV requests,
# so don't use it if you use eg Kerberos, SIP, XMMP or Google-talk.
# This option only affects forwarding, SRV records originating for
# dnsmasq (via srv-host= lines) are not suppressed by it.
#filterwin2k

# Change this line if you want dns to get its upstream servers from
# somewhere other that /etc/resolv.conf
#resolv-file=

# By  default,  dnsmasq  will  send queries to any of the upstream
# servers it knows about and tries to favour servers to are  known
# to  be  up.  Uncommenting this forces dnsmasq to try each query
# with  each  server  strictly  in  the  order  they   appear   in
# /etc/resolv.conf
#strict-order

# If you don't want dnsmasq to read /etc/resolv.conf or any other
# file, getting its servers from this file instead (see below), then
# uncomment this.
#no-resolv

# If you don't want dnsmasq to poll /etc/resolv.conf or other resolv
# files for changes and re-read them then uncomment this.
#no-poll

# Add other name servers here, with domain specs if they are for
# non-public domains.
#server=/localnet/192.168.0.1

# Example of routing PTR queries to nameservers: this will send all
# address->name queries for 192.168.3/24 to nameserver 10.1.2.3
#server=/3.168.192.in-addr.arpa/10.1.2.3

# Add local-only domains here, queries in these domains are answered
# from /etc/hosts or DHCP only.
#local=/localnet/

# Add domains which you want to force to an IP address here.
# The example below send any host in double-click.net to a local
# web-server.
#address=/double-click.net/127.0.0.1

# --address (and --server) work with IPv6 addresses too.
#address=/www.thekelleys.org.uk/fe80::20d:60ff:fe36:f83

# Add the IPs of all queries to yahoo.com, google.com, and their
# subdomains to the vpn and search ipsets:
#ipset=/yahoo.com/google.com/vpn,search

# You can control how dnsmasq talks to a server: this forces
# queries to 10.1.2.3 to be routed via eth1
# server=10.1.2.3@eth1

# and this sets the source (ie local) address used to talk to
# 10.1.2.3 to 192.168.1.1 port 55 (there must be a interface with that
# IP on the machine, obviously).
# server=10.1.2.3@192.168.1.1#55

# If you want dnsmasq to change uid and gid to something other
# than the default, edit the following lines.
#user=
#group=

# If you want dnsmasq to listen for DHCP and DNS requests only on
# specified interfaces (and the loopback) give the name of the
# interface (eg eth0) here.
# Repeat the line for more than one interface.
#interface=
# Or you can specify which interface _not_ to listen on
#except-interface=
# Or which to listen on by address (remember to include 127.0.0.1 if
# you use this.)
#listen-address=
# If you want dnsmasq to provide only DNS service on an interface,
# configure it as shown above, and then use the following line to
# disable DHCP and TFTP on it.
#no-dhcp-interface=

# On systems which support it, dnsmasq binds the wildcard address,
# even when it is listening on only some interfaces. It then discards
# requests that it shouldn't reply to. This has the advantage of
# working even when interfaces come and go and change address. If you
# want dnsmasq to really bind only the interfaces it is listening on,
# uncomment this option. About the only time you may need this is when
# running another nameserver on the same machine.
#bind-interfaces

# If you don't want dnsmasq to read /etc/hosts, uncomment the
# following line.
#no-hosts
# or if you want it to read another file, as well as /etc/hosts, use
# this.
#addn-hosts=/etc/banner_add_hosts

# Set this (and domain: see below) if you want to have a domain
# automatically added to simple names in a hosts-file.
#expand-hosts

# Set the domain for dnsmasq. this is optional, but if it is set, it
# does the following things.
# 1) Allows DHCP hosts to have fully qualified domain names, as long
#     as the domain part matches this setting.
# 2) Sets the "domain" DHCP option thereby potentially setting the
#    domain of all systems configured by DHCP
# 3) Provides the domain part for "expand-hosts"
#domain=thekelleys.org.uk

# Set a different domain for a particular subnet
#domain=wireless.thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.2.0/24

# Same idea, but range rather then subnet
#domain=reserved.thekelleys.org.uk,192.68.3.100,192.168.3.200

# Uncomment this to enable the integrated DHCP server, you need
# to supply the range of addresses available for lease and optionally
# a lease time. If you have more than one network, you will need to
# repeat this for each network on which you want to supply DHCP
# service.
#dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,12h

# This is an example of a DHCP range where the netmask is given. This
# is needed for networks we reach the dnsmasq DHCP server via a relay
# agent. If you don't know what a DHCP relay agent is, you probably
# don't need to worry about this.
#dhcp-range=192.168.0.50,192.168.0.150,255.255.255.0,12h

Code and picture in the same response wasn’t playing nice… Sorry if I blew up your notifications for a second.

[Tom Elliott]

@_mateo change pxelinux.0 to undionly.kpxe

[_mateo]

@Tom-Elliott Oh god, thanks. I remember that section of the tutorial a little lacking, sorry to say. It says something to the effect of, “Change any settings you think would need to change.” And I could really only think in terms of IP addressing, but that’s just my inexperience showing. Either way, thank you very much!

Just another quick question. After making changes like this, is it required/advised to restart the service or machine?

Edit: Also, I’m still getting the error. I tried changing it there and the ltsp.conf file. I’ll try a restart

[_mateo]

@Tom-Elliott My bad. There are a two instances of pxelinux.

But now that I have that taken care of, I get through the iPXE process. But then it crashes, error message says, “Could not start download: Operation no supported” and then a link to ipxe.org

[Tom Elliott]

@_mateo sorry I didn’t go all in depth on exactly what to change and what to do but any change to a Config file typically means the service referencing that file needs to be restarted or reloaded, I typically restart to ensure things are right.

[Sebastian Roth]

Again, please take a picture or tell is the exact error message you see on the screen.

[_mateo]

@Sebastian-Roth Sorry! Attaching now. The error is so fast I had to shoot a video to catch it, so the last bit of the URL is missing. But this is what I’m seeing:
I was following this thread a bit, should I upload a tcpdump? https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6067/could-not-start-download-operation-not-supported/16

Edit: I also tried the new binary that you mentioned and didn’t see a change.

[_mateo]

So in this article there’s this line:

In the litsp.conf that I have, it just has the “dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe”
Is this by design since I’m on 1.2.0?

[Wayne Workman]

@_mateo Look through these threads:

And you should probably fill in the additional dhcp-boot options.

[Sebastian Roth]

Have you looked through this article yet? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_TFTP

Capturing a packet dump using wireshark or tcpdump on your FOG server would definitely help. I will take a look if you upload a PCAP file.

[_mateo]

@Wayne-Workman
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5533/a-new-dnsmasq-issue/7 - Yes. I actually had that line commented out because it was preventing the dnsmasq service from starting in the first place.

I’ve also tried the tips in the other two threads. I think I may be able to modify our network DHCP. So if I just make the option 66 and 67 changes, could I just stop the dnsmasq service and everything will be okay? Or will I have to modify any other conf files?

@Sebastian-Roth 0_1454445769060_issue.pcap Hopefully I didn’t allow too much garbage to get in. Thanks for taking a look!

Yes. And that is the best way.

[_mateo]

@Wayne-Workman So it worked! Sayonara dnsmasq… Though now I’m getting a chainloading error. Know of any current materials on the topic? I see this tutorial: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Boot_looping_and_Chainloading

But I don’t know that it applies to newer fog installations.

Edit: Pic incoming

[_mateo]

@Wayne-Workman
I’m not sure where the 10.129.1.79 address comes from… My Fog server is 10.92.1.174 fyi

[_mateo]

Well, maybe the chainloading thing is a red herring. My TFTP is just timing out, I take it?

[Wayne Workman]

Look into this file on your fog server:
/tftpboot/default.ipxe There is one IP Address at the bottom, this should be your FOG Server’s IP Address.

Also, on your fog server, look into Web Interface -> FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Web Server -> FOG_WEB_HOST and make sure that value is your FOG Server’s IP address.

Also inside of /opt/fog/.fogsettings there is a field for the FOG Server’s IP address called ipaddress This should be set to the FOG server’s IP as well.

Only one of these things is wrong I think, but I’m including all three for future readers.

[Sebastian Roth]

@_mateo Great that you uploaded the PCAP file and changed to use option 66/67 on your DHCP server!

Looking at the PCAP file I see another DHCP server answering you queries. An that is 10.129.1.79! This is causing the current issue. This DHCP server hands out an IP in the range of 192.168.0.x to the client and offers to be a boot server (option 66 set to 10.129.1.79). You need to find this machine! The machines MAC address is 00:0d:b9:1e:27:fc (wireshark says it’s a PcEngine NIC - not sure if that helps).

[Wayne Workman]

@Sebastian-Roth Nice.

[_mateo]

@Sebastian-Roth Ah, it must be our DHCP for our public WiFi! So you think option 66 is active on that? I’ll go check! Hopefully I have access. Thanks so much.

@Wayne-Workman Thanks for the suggestions! Though, all of them were right. So I think Sebastian might be onto something.
