      I used the rom-o-matic.eu site with the following options checked:

      PCI_SETTINGS
      COMDATA
      COMSTOP
      NET_PROTO_IPV4
      NET_PROTO_STP
      PXE_STACK
      PXE_MENU
      DOWNLOAD_PROTO_TFTP
      DOWNLOAD_PROTO_HTTP
      HTTP_AUTH_BASIC
      HTTP_AUTH_DIGEST
      CRYPTO_80211_WEP
      CRYPTO_80211_WPA
      CRYPTO_80211_WPA2
      DNS_RESOLVER
      AUTOBOOT_CMD
      NVO_CMD
      CONFIG_CMD
      IFMGMT_CMD
      IWMGMT_CMD
      FCMGMT_CMD
      ROUTE_CMD
      IMAGE_CMD
      DHCP_CMD
      SANBOOT_CMD
      MENU_CMD
      LOGIN_CMD
      SYNC_CMD
      AUTOBOOT_ROM_FILTER
      DHCP_DISC_MAX_DEFERRALS
      PXEBS_START_TIMEOUT_SEC

      And my pasted script:

      #!ipxe
      dhcp
      chain http://IPofSERVER/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php

      |
      it built the ISO and I used Imgburn to burn to DVD.

        @Eldorado Try using this as embedded script:

        #!ipxe
dhcp
chain tftp://ip.of.fog.server/default.ipxe

        By the way, you don’t need to burn CD/DVDs every time you change iPXE. You can generate iPXE image to write onto USB key…

        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)

          Hi Sebastian - thanks for the USB suggestion.
          I’m testing the ISO by mounting it in the VM first. I burned it to a cd to test on a workstation outside of a VM to see if it was VMware that was causing the problem. same result.

          We will be using usb keys for the final deployment though.

          thanks for this - I’ll give it a try. I tried generating a new iPXE a few minutes ago and it was failing… will try again later.

            @Eldorado If you’re running the latest version, is there a reason you’re not able to use the already installed .iso file?

            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.

              Hi Tom,

              the current .iso i’m using has the embedded script. Sebastian has asked me to run something different other than what I have.

                Hi Sebastian, thank you for the suggestion.

                I tried what you did, and i’m getting this error at boot:

                tftp://#.#.#.#/default.ipxe... ok
params: command not found
Cound not boot: Exec format error (http://ipxe.org/2e022001)

                Here is the content of my default.ipxe file:

                #!ipxe
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
:bootme
chain http://#.#.#.#/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params

                  @Eldorado Well, add PARAM_CMD when building on rom-o-matic.eu

                  Tom was asking why you don’t use the ISO provided by FOG? See in your /tftpboot directory on the FOG server. There should be an ipxe.iso file that you can use. It hast got an advanced ipxe script embedded - same as all the other iPXE binaries you see in that directory.

                  Take a look at the script. It does some checks but essentially it does just get an IP via DHCP and then loads default.ipxe…

                  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)

                    Hi Sebastian - When I look at the Fog tftpboot folder, I see:

                    boot.txt
default.ipxe
ipxe.kkpxe
ipxe.kpxe
ipxe.krn
ipxe.pxe
memdisk
pxelinux.0.old
snponly.efi
endionly.kkpxe
undionly.kpxe
undionly.kpxe.intel
undion.pxe
vesamenu.c32

                    I don’t see an ipxe.iso file.

                      @Eldorado Oh well, I somehow thought that you are running FOG trunk. But looks like version 1.2.0 by the directory listing you just posted. You can download the latest ipxe.iso here (click ‘view raw’).

                        Thanks - I’ll look into that…

                        having said that - your suggestion in the first post to run the default.ipxe rather than the boot.php file worked! everything is working as expected now once I added the PARAM_CMD file…

                        Thank you so much for everything!

                          Spoke too soon -

                          it’s registering the host now (and it shows on the menu screen it’s registered).

                          I am now successfully able to push down tasks from the server. I’ve started memtest, and tried to trigger an antivirus scan (even though the av scan fails, it still attempts to run at boot).

                          But now it won’t break out of the task… do the tasks need to complete fully for the server to stop sending it down?

                          For example, here is my experience:

                          1. create memtest task.
                          2. task runs.
                          3. I break out of task early and reboot.
                          4. client reboots and runs memtest again.
                          5. I have to delete the task on the server to allow it to boot back to the menu.

                          Here is what i’m expecting:

                          1. create memtest task.
                          2. task runs.
                          3. I break out of task early and reboot.
                          4. client boots back to menu, and server marks task as completed.

                          Is my understanding correct?

                            @Eldorado What you experience is perfectly fine. The clients shouts back to the server not when it starts a task but when it finishes! You need to cancel the task in the web interface to stop the client from booting into it again and again…
