Could not boot: Input/Output error(http://ipxe.org/1d0c6539)
-
After “FINALLY” getting FOG working I’ve been doing some test images. I just started on a laptop that is pretty new and barley been used. I am getting this error:
In case it helps, here are some pics from before this error.
I’m guessing that the bold red “Host is NOT registered” is the problem, but being so new at this I’m wanting some input.
FOG v. 6623
HP EliteBook 820 G2
Intel i5 2.2GHz
4 gigs ram
64-bitThanks in advance!

What item did you choose?
-
@ManofValor If you go to this address via a web browser, what is the output?
http://10.10.1.40/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac0=48:0f:cf:27:72:6f
For you and future readers, you’ll see I have a MAC address at the end of that URL. This is how you can manually ask the fog web server to generate what WOULD be the iPXE boot script for whatever clent’s MAC you plug into that spot. Multiple MACs can be passed via standard POST syntax, like this for example (fake but valid example) http://10.0.0.4/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac0=48:0f:cf:27:72:6f&mac1=14:fe:b5:df:fc:7e
-
@Wayne-Workman Just some clarification, using mac0/mac1 in the line will work, but you can also just use mac=
-
@Tom-Elliott can you give an example? I think the boot.php function combines them all together with pipe between but I’m not sure.

@Tom-Elliott I chose Quick image.

@Wayne-Workman Wait, do you need the output from the laptop I’m trying to image?
-
@ManofValor The output is fine.
I just wanted to find out if I could replicate.
Do you have an image defined on the FOG Server? When you chose quick image, did it first present you with a login page?
-
@Tom-Elliott Yes, I put in my user name and password and it gave me a list images then I chose the one I setup for this machine.
-
@ManofValor then it gave the error? Can you show me how the image is setup?
-
@Tom-Elliott Yes, but have to be Monday, sorry. Servers are getting shut down for a generator install. Thanks see ya’ll Monday.
-
@ManofValor No problem.
-
Also, please try updating to the latest version then seeing if this problem is still present. It’s more likely an issue with the version you’re running, I think 6623?

One of the sites in my organization is getting a similar error. They are on 6677, and working with an Optiplex 9020 in BIOS mode. Here’s a screenshot.
I asked that building tech to update to the latest, I’ll report back with what happens.
-
So I’m not sure if I’ve just been missing a step or if it works differently with different machines, but when I registered it through the client it started working. I put up a screen shot that showed it saying “Host Not Registered” and I haven’t seen that before. I haven’t had to do that yet, not that I shouldn’t have been, so maybe someone could help me understand here. Am I supposed to register through the client every time?
-
@ManofValor said:
Am I supposed to register through the client every time?
Well, new/unknown clients need to register (themselves) or be registered (via web gui) once! New client/MAC address new registration. But you don’t need to re-register clients once per task or once a day or whatever!
-
Following up - the update did not fix it.
Upon further investigation, the problematic hosts had a “Auto-Reg” task that was stuck in task management, preventing a full iPXE boot script being generated for them from
boot.php. The task was spinning, as if it was “In Progress”. We canceled these and the hosts began working. -
@Sebastian-Roth Thx once again everybody.
