The usb dongle i’m using is the Here once plugged in and i boot to it I see that it is a Realtek RTL8153.

You are correct I am currently using “undionly.kpxe” in the dhcpd.conf. I will give the others a shot in a bit once i get settled in and report back some results. Is a reboot of the server necessary when making these changes to the dhcpd.conf?

No sir. If it’s Linux dhcp, just restart the service…
Debian/Ubuntu:
service dhcpd stop;sleep 2;service dhcpd start
Fedora/CentOS/RHEL:
systemctl restart dhcpdIf it’s windows, it takes effect immediately.

@josh-martin By the way, which version of FOG are you running (see in the blue cloud on the web interface)? If it is FOG 1.2.0 then you will run into more trouble with that USB NIC after you’ve solved the iPXE issue I reckon. I’d advice to go with FOG trunk!
[edit]I just added your adapter to our list in the wiki. It has Realtek RTL8153 chipset which is confirmed working with
undionly.kkpxe…[/edit] -
You were correct in recommending the “undionly.kkpxe” file. Once i made that change i was able to reach the fog gui with no issues. However, once i begin the quick inventory it appears to be working like normal until it tries to send the inventory to the server and it just freezes there until i cut it off.
+1 for progress!

@josh-martin FOG version??

@Sebastian-Roth
1.2.0 -
@josh.martin If you can tolerate a little instability then it is recommended that you move to the trunk build to support current hardware with uefi firmware. 1.2.0 supported this not very well.
What it sounds like that iPXE is having an issue over the FOS kernel itself.
<edit> And the older FOS kernel doesn’t support the usb nic kernel parameter. </edit> -
I was able to successfully update to the new trunk (release 7188). Once upgraded i was able to ipxe boot the machine and reach the fog menu FINALLY! The quick inventory and registration task also worked properly. I can now see the machine in the Fog web management console. However, when i attempt to ipxe boot the same machine again it is getting stuck on loading the “boot.php” file. It certainly sees the file and stops at 94% of the download. Unable to get it past this point now.
-
@josh.martin What do you mean the boot.php file? It shouldn’t be downloading boot.php, rather it downloads init.xz and/or bzImage.

@Tom-Elliott
This is where i am getting stuck at.Here -
@josh-martin Are you able to load that URL (…/boot.php) with your browser?? What do you get? Please post the full output here in a code box.
