ovs setting and ipxe boot picture

(sorry for my poor english …)

@jide If I get this right your client is a qemu-kvm host. So you should see iPXE twice as qemu has iPXE as PXE ROM included. Is this screenshot with the error the first iPXE you see or the second one? I guess it’s the second one as the version number perfectly matches the one we delivered with FOG 1.2.0…

Can you please try to use one of the current iPXE binaries just to see if that makes a difference:

sudo -i
cd /tftpboot
mv undionly.kpxe undionly.kpxe.orig
wget -O undionly.kpxe "https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/dev-branch/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe?raw=true"

@Sebastian-Roth : Thanks !!! Using downloaded version solves my problem. But the 2nd ipxe now ask me “Please enter tftp server:” …

[Sebastian Roth]

@jide Do you have dnsmasq installed as well? Or another DHCP server on your network?

[jide]

Hello, you’re right, there’s 2 dhcp server on my network : my internet provider’s box and my linux dhcp server. When i’m asked for tftp ip adress , i set it to my linux tftp server and i got “tftp://x.x.x.x/default.ipxe” not such a file or directory (http://ipxe/2d12603b)

@jide Configure the ISP box’s DHCP properly (impossible on most), or turn DHCP off of the ISP box.

@jide Or turn off DHCP on your FOG server since you already have a dhcp server running (some people simply can’t disable the ISP kit). Then install dnsmasq on your FOG server. Then you can send out the proper boot file for bios target computers. I’m not sure where the devs are (for dnsmasq) with the efi functions.

@george1421 dnsmasq with UEFI in ProxyDHCP mode now aparently works. I’m on the dnsmasq mailing list and have been keeping an eye on that topic.

Yesss, it works !!! Thanks a lot for your help !!!

@jide said in Could not start download: Operation not supported (http://ipxe.org/3c092003):

Yesss, it works !!! Thanks a lot for your help !!!

Just for clarity, is “it” dnsmasq or FOG in general?

[jide]

Fog in general. I stopped my ISP dhcp box, created missing ipxe file and it finally works. One more time, thanks for your help !!

[Wayne Workman]

@jide Sounds like you’re using dnsmasq? In such case, you can turn off DHCP on the fog server (if you want), and turn it back on for the ISP box (if you want) and just roll with dnsmasq.

Glad you got it working.
