    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. (//)

    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)

      @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?

                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

                            @mikepel Well is your switch setup for STP? Seeing as it’s a separated switch and you’re setup is currently in “Isolated mode” can you simply disable STP?

                              @Tom-Elliott I’ll try to get into the switch. I was told there isn’t a config on it, this might take some time to do.

                                  @Tom-Elliott Its a Catalyst 2950. It was donated from an Air Force Base…so I’d hope it has a wiped config. Know of any Linux programs to console into switches? Is there a putty for linux?

                                    @mikepel there’s ssh. Console may require a windows system as I don’t know of any command based terminal access via console stuff. That’s not to say there aren’t any, I just don’t know of one off the top of my head.

                                      @Tom-Elliott Still working on getting into the config. Had to use an old XP laptop, only thing I could find with a serial port.

                                        It looked like it was a clean config, just to be sure I wiped it again. I don’t think its anything with the switch config…Maybe I should try to rebuild the FOG server from scratch again.

                                          @mikepel I don’t have the manual for that switch, but MANY cisco switches automatically enable stp by default.
