      Thanks for the reply.
      The computers are HP DC 7800. Bios is in legacy mode. The fog version is 1.2.0.
      First i configured fog in a separated network and fog worked just fine with dhcp service. But in this network i have to use an existing dhcp server.

          @luislesi There’s also the option to tell those guys to just remove the next-server and filename and try to use dnsmasq in ProxyDHCP mode. This way, you’re always in control of those extra options and not them.

            I agree, when you have no control over the dhcp services then dhcpProxy running on a fog server is the next best thing (especially if you start having a mix of bios and uefi systems in your environment.

                @luislesi It’s like iPXE isn’t getting any arguments, to me. I’ve not seen this one before, I’m going to need to defer to the other @Developers and @Moderators.

                  @Wayne-Workman This isn’t something We’re doing. Maybe we can do more with the boot.php script output.

                    I Tom. I had to change the boot file again to undionly.kpxe.
                    At this time i don’t know how i solved this problem.
                    I tried two things:
                    I updated the kernel to version 3.19.3 and I changed permissions of ipxe:

                             chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe
                    

                    The only problem is that i have write exit in ipxe to download/upload start.

                        Today I installed another server with the same configurations and i noticed that the original problem was solved by getting another undionly.kpxe.

                        wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe -O /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe
                        

                        I originally thought that the problem was solved by upgrading the Kernel and changing the permissions of ipxe, but the problem was solved by getting another undionly.kpxe. But I don´t know if this boot file is reliable.

                        The only thing i know, is that after this, if i write exit in ipxe, the fog works. But i need to solve this.

                          @luislesi Why does it fail on the first DHCP request is the main question I suppose…

                          Maybe spanning tree /port fast setting on the switch? Please search the wiki and forum for this.

                          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)

                            I still don’t understand why computer reboots with the original undionly.kpxe that comes with the fog installer (1.2.0) and when i get the undionly.kpxe from https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe
                            it works but i have to write exit in IPXE.
                            You can see it in this photo:
                            https://goo.gl/photos/GV6XxJUgdhqRAxgg6
                            I will try to do spanning tree /port fast setting on the switch like @Sebastian-Roth said but i think this is not the reason.
                            Is there any script that i can do to automatically exit from IPXE?
                            Thanks

                              @luislesi If I had to guess, if you go to the browser at url (Making adjustments for your environment)

                              http://10.1.8.1/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:23:7d:b9:2d:f2

                              What’s output to the browser? My guess is it’s missing a “boot” line.

                                  @luislesi Does it only show the menu IF you type exit, or is exit needed only presented when the host is tasked? The Reason I ask: The picture from earlier shows the host was in a task.

                                    Fog stops in IPXE even when i just want to get to the menu.

                                      Are you using undionly.kpxe or undionly.kkpxe? Could you try ipxe.pxe?

                                      Is this on ALL machines, or just this particular model?

                                      Is it ONLY this machine itself and all others work?

                                      I’m just trying to get all the info.

                                        Now i’m using undionly.kpxe. I tried undionly.kkpxe but it did not work.
                                        I will try ipxe.pxe.
                                        This occurs in all machines.

                                        Thanks

                                          I changed the boot file to ipxe.pxe and i’ve got the same original problem.

                                          So i downloaded the boot file ipxe.pxe using this command:

                                          wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/ipxe.pxe -O /tftpboot/ipxe.pxe

                                          And the result was the same as using undionly.kpxe, stops at IPXE.

                                            @luislesi I spent almost the entire day today trying to figure out a very similar issue - I was seeing the same response to pxe boot. We have two VLANs in the building and one worked and the other did not. On our “problem” VLAN it turns out we had spanning tree turned on, but it was turned off on the “good” VLAN. To make matters worse we can’t turn it off because the network issue it is resolving hasn’t been located yet.

                                            What I ended up doing was turning portfast (props @Sebastian-Roth) on individually for each of the ports being used by the machines I wanted to image. I’m NOT a network guru, I can’t explain to you why it works but it did in my case. Just my 0.02, I don’t see that you have yet posted the results of the STP/PF adjustments you planned to make.

                                            Edit: To try to clarify, I believe the iPXE messages you’re seeing up to the point of the “iPXE>” prompt is the output of the PXE boot ROM of the computer, not anything coming from the network. The DHCP boot process is failing and the PC is not reaching the FOG server. In my case it was due to spanning tree being turned on in our network. The only way around that was to enable portfast on the switch.
