Boot from LAN endless…

Can you use a web browser and go to the address:
192.114.111.1/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php and see what you find? maybe paste a copy here?

And I assume that 192.114.111.1 is the fog server’s IP.

Have you tried a different boot file yet? Like undionly.kkpxe or ipxe.efi ? If you find that another boot file works, we can help direct you for configuring DHCP vendor classes to support both boot files at once.

undionly.kkpxe or ipxe.efi don’t work

realtek.kpxe work

@sgennadi https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence

For these models, if they have a unique Vendor ID - you could assign the reatek.kpxe boot file to just their vendor class - or if the vendor ID is not unique, you would just create DHCP reservations specifying the boot file to use with each one of these. If you have 50 of them, it should only take a half hour to copy/paste all the MACs into whatever DHCP system you’re using. FYI in my opinion, ISC-DHCP is the easiest to configure.

A lot of people struggle with vendor classes - that’s fine, everyone has to learn, took me months of research, testing, and practice to figure it out and fully understand what’s happening. I’d be willing to help out if you needed it. Just message me.

This is strange! Do you really see this when using undionly.kkpxe (BIOS/legacy) and ipxe.efi (EFI enabled)?? And with realtek.kpxe you get the FOG menu?
I really wonder why loading default.ipxe via TFTP would work but getting boot.php via HTTP does not! Please try to access http://192.114.111.1/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php from a browser and see what you get! Maybe this is a firewall thing?

@sgennadi Can we solve this as well?

[Wayne Workman]

@Sebastian-Roth Yes, because he found a boot file that worked, and because we gave him instructions on how to make both work at the same time.
