@Bigredcherokee your boot file is “ipe.pxe”?

[Andy Abplanalp]

@Andy-Abplanalp not only that - your dhcpd.conf file has “undionly.kxpe” listed instead of “undionly.kpxe”

[Wayne Workman]

@Andy-Abplanalp undionly.kkpxe is the new default, because it works on more systems than undionly.kpxe does.

@Bigredcherokee the DHCP configuration is suspect to me, the subnet you are serving is defined as 192.168.3.32 255.255.255.224 while the subnet mask you’re handing out to leases is 255.255.255.0

With the actual interface subnet being 192.168.3.32 and mask being 255.255.255.224, your broadcast address would be 192.168.3.63, but you have this defined as a router address.

Also, you would have a maximum of 30 hosts.

Also - the biggest problem is you have no next-server defined in the configuration.

Maybe look at this as an example? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence Also, why not let fog generate the configuration?

[Andy Abplanalp]

@Wayne-Workman yes, but also his settings in FOG (that he has pictured) should be pointing to a kernel and the init file. Basically…it appears to have both incorrect configuration settings AND the typo in the dhcpd.conf

[Wayne Workman]

also @Andy-Abplanalp is right, you do have a typo in the boot file as well, in addition to the other problems pointed out.

It’s undionly.kpxe, not undionly.kxpe

Thanks Wayne I made the changes.

[Bigredcherokee]

@Andy-Abplanalp thanks for catching that typo.

[Bigredcherokee]

@Andy-Abplanalp Andy yes What should those feild be since I’m using the undionly.kpxe. I gotten pass the first problem now it boots the ipe. I know thats wrong what does it need to be.

Thanks,
Chris

FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR —> /var/www/fog/service/ipxe
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL ----> bzimage
FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE ----> ipe.pxe

FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_32 —> bzimage32
FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE_32 —> init_32.xz

With undionly.kpxe set as the boot file are the above settings correct?

[Wayne Workman]

@Bigredcherokee the FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE field doesn’t actually do anything at all. It’s more a place holder to remind you what is actually set.

If you have a different problem now, please make a new thread with those details.

@Bigredcherokee said in boot pxe issue:

FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE

my FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE is set for init.xz

[Wayne Workman]

@Andy-Abplanalp I get it mixed up, it’s the one that has a boot rom in it normally. It’s description says its just a place holder.
