      Could you share a picture of the boot screen when it fails?

              @Varion On 1.2.0 I believe ipxe is the standard. Try setting the filename in your DHCP config to undionly.kpxe

                Hello Varion welcome to the Fog forum.

                Can you please tell us what you entered for dhcp option 67? My guess is that you are using pxelinux.0 . The proper setting for this (for bios mode) is undionly.kpxe. for efi bios then you would use snponly.efi.

                [edit ]OK if I look at your picture I see for sure you are using the wrong (older style) boot file for FOG. [/edit]

                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!

                    @Varion Am I correct in assuming you followed instructions on this page: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_on_Debian_Lenny to install fog?

                    You might want to (temporarily) disable firewall on FOG server to see if that helps.

                    A note about other Linux distribution

                    If you are using other Linux distribution such as Debian / Ubuntu / Suse / Slakcware Linux etc., try the following generic procedure. First, save the current firewall rules, type:
                    iptables-save > /root/firewall.rules

                    OR
                    $ sudo iptables-save > /root/firewall.rules

                    Next, type the following commands (login as the root) as bash prompt:

                    iptables -F
                    iptables -X
                    iptables -t nat -F
                    iptables -t nat -X
                    iptables -t mangle -F
                    iptables -t mangle -X
                    iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
                    iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
                    iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
                    

                    Mod edited to use code box.

                      Hmmm… interesting.

                      So lets see where you are at.

                      The device PXE (ROM) booted and downloaded iPXE. iPXE is running and detected your network adapter as a pcnet32 and then started a dhcp discovery again. This is all normal so far, but now you get a connection timeout. This makes me think there is a STP or spanning tree issue. Can you ensure your network switch has port fast or RSTP enabled on the link to this device?

                      It also appears that you are using the 1.2.0 version of fog. If this is a new fog installation, I would highly recommend you upgrade to the trunk version of fog (i.e. per 1.3.0).

                      One last bit of info, what device are you trying to pxe boot. Make and model.

                      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!

                        so following the instruction of my supervisor, i’ll try to install once again fog but with dhcp managed by fog.
                        i will make a copy of the vm i actually have with the fog server and try the 2nd install on it and if it still don’t work an upgrade on trunk.
                        My supervisor don’t think that fog have a personnal firewall because we do nothing on it. If it’s the firewall of the network i don’t think it will be possible x)

                              FOG DHCP is not required. This is not your issue.

                              The target computer is getting the iPXE operating system. So dhcp is working as it should. DHCP is telling the target computer go to the fog computer at IP address (dhcp option 66) and get file undionly.kpxe (dhcp option 67). I can see that this file runs on your target computer because I see the iPXE status line. For this DHCP is good and not your problem.

                              The issue is the iPXE kernel can not get an IP address. This is typically because of one of two problems. 1) The device has a network adapter not supported by the iPXE kernel. 2) The problem is with your network switch in that it takes too long to start forwarding data, which is a problem with spanning tree settings.

                              Now from what I understand you are trying to pxe boot a virtual machine, that is why I see pcnet32 (which is an old internet adapter).

                              1. What version of esxi are you trying to boot?
                              2. I would strongly recommend that you upgrade your fog installation to the trunk version (pre 1.3.0) so if you have problems the developers can help fix the issue. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk
                              3. You must confirm that you have disabled selinux and disabled the iptables firewall according to the FOG prerequisites or FOG server will not work as required.

                              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!

                                Hi,
                                sorry this week-end i haven’t the time to work on it.
                                I start my VM with the fog server on it this morning and it work perfectly 😮 i’ve upload an image 2min earlier.
                                I don’t know what happened during this week-end but it’s cool if it’s work now let see if it continue =p

                                edit:
                                okay i’ve speak too quickly i have the same bug as before…
                                can an other computer create a bug like this ? ( my supervisor wasn’t here and his computer was off and when i came and start his computer it bug again ) it’s just a supposition.

                                  @Varion Which IP address does your FOG server have? Is it configured as static IP or does if get it’s IP via DHCP as well? On your FOG server run ip addr show (maybe you need to run sudo ip addr show depending on the host OS you have) and post the full output here in the forum.

                                  Is it possible that your supervisor’s machine is running a DHCP server or proxy service? This could actually cause problems (only when that machine is on!).

                                  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)

                                    @Varion Try using a different boot file other than default.ipxe. Try using undionly.kkpxe, or if your are using newer UEFI devices, try ipxe.efi.

                                      Okay, so my supervisor was thinkng that it could be a problem from virtualbox (where i create my fog server) and i create the fog server on the computer. It looks like it work for now i will see if it keep going like this.

                                        So it work now but i have a problem with the upload of the image.
                                        i try to upload an image and it copy the entire disk (even the space not used)
                                        I’d like know if it’s normal or not and if their is a solution if it’s a problem from me.
                                        i try to upload a debian 7.3
                                        thanks guys 🙂

                                          @Varion Keep going like what?

                                          What did you do that got it operational for you? What changed, how did it get fixed?

                                          Why would your fog server need to handle DHCP? You just edit the boot file that your dhcp server is currently handing out and you should be operational. Of course, that all aside, you would need to make sure that the switches you’re using are not in STP - Plain mode. If you MUST use STP, make sure it’s possible to use Rapid STP or PortFast (or the equivalent setting as defined for your network switches/routers).

                                          No such file or directory as described only a few posts earlier would indicate, to me, that it cannot find the FOG Server by the IP Address (192.168.3.79). If FOG is handling the DHCP at that point, what’s giving FOG the IP address? Even if it’s statically defined it does not automatically mean it will operate.

                                          What is your supervisor’s system doing? Is it handling DHCP (AKA proxy dhcp or a rogue dhcp server?)
