      @Quazz The OptiPlex is no longer in the picture at the moment. DHCP is handing out IPs. When I boot to Windows I can get one.

        @mikepel I am aware you can get an IP in windows, but that does not mean you are getting one in PXE environment.

        Whatever device you can network boot will do.

              @Quazz Still getting the same thing with the L. I do a sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart and it returns

              isc-dhcp-server stop/waiting
              isc-dhcp-server start/running, process 24950

              I assume its running?

                      Can you upgrade to trunk.

                      You’re running into the console issue. The Optiplex 755’s console frame buffer is not accessible to the boot menu. To fix (without upgrading) you need to edit the /var/www/fog/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php file and look for the console --picture lines and comment them out by preceding them with two forward slashes. (//)

                        @Tom-Elliott The 1st PC I was usin (OptiPlex 755) was getting an IP during PXE boot but not getting the menu. I’m now using a Lenovo Tiny M92p and I can’t get an IP during PXE. I’m going to setup a different OptiPlex and see if its the client itself… Did my DHCP config file look okay to you?

                          @mikepel Sorry, I just read it.

                          @Quazz (sysvinit didn’t accept parameters so the -l was a bad thing).

                            @Tom-Elliott I’m using an OptiPlex 990 now, I can’t tell if its getting an IP or not the screen goes too fast, I even recorded it with my phone and I can’t get it to stay on the frame of when it shows the IP info. Uploading the video to my PC to see if I can do it from there.

                              @Tom-Elliott Another thought crosses my mind, does he need a DNS server in his setup?

                                @Quazz He only needs it if he’s trying to resolve hostnames.

                                  Do I need a TFTP config in DHCPD.conf? It looks like I’m getting an IP during PXE then it stops at TFTP?

                                    @mikepel TFTP In the isc-dhcp shouldn’t be required.

                                    What happens if you restart the tftp service on the fog server? (sudo service tftpd-hpa stop; sleep 2; sudo service tftpd-hpa start) (Does it restart or fail, and if it succeeds can fog work now?)

                                            @Tom-Elliott No FOG menu again. Same thing as before. I’m uploading a video of what happened to provide some more screenshots…it gets stuck at configuring net (net0: macaddress)… then reboots
