ipxe/boot.php hanging on capture

[ftgjason]

no…did not I am trying to upload another image and all seems fine until I get to the ipxe/boot.php line…it hangs and doesn’t do anything for about 2 minutes or so…and restarts the process.
Fedora 22. The only thing that may have deleted my images was that I did a svn up from a different location other than the original location. I still have a hard time believing that would make the images delete, but that is over and now, I just want to get back to work and I can’t with the stalling at ipxe/boot.php.
No changes were made other than the svn up.

@ftgjason is you image store on a nas or mounted from a different volume? There is 0 code deleting images in the installer. There is 1 method to delete files through the GUI and it means you made the selection. It sounds, to me, like the original /images was mounted from another device, and for one reason or another the other device is no longer mounted.

[Tom Elliott]

For the restart issue this is probably because the init is failing to get DHCP, as if this failed we can’t do anything with the system anyway. What happens if you place a dummy switch between the system and the main switch?

[ftgjason]

@Tom-Elliott I will try to use a different switch, but I currently have the switch in my office directly connected to the machine I am trying to upload and the FOG server. My DHCP box is in another building.

[Tom Elliott]

@ftgjason is it a dumb switch or managed?

[ftgjason]

@Tom-Elliott managed

[Tom Elliott]

@ftgjason and that managed switch is setup for spanning tree? If so is port fast, or rapid STP also enabled?

[ftgjason]

@Tom-Elliott no clue

[ftgjason]

@ftgjason is this something that has changed from the earlier versions? The switches all worked perfectly before the svn up

[Tom Elliott]

@ftgjason there’s been one change to the inits which was to help with xp and vista older style images and one change to the kernels to add support for the bnx2 firmware on some server boxes. No changes have been made to the inits in regards to network load up.

[ftgjason]

@Tom-Elliott so my switches are set to RSTP by default. Is there something else I should be seeing?

[ftgjason]

@ftgjason I added a dumb switch which is connected to the fog client machine that I wish to upload/capture. Nothing is different with the addition of the dumb switch.

[Tom Elliott]

Can you get a screen shot or video of the issue?

[Tom Elliott]

@ftgjason what’s in the Apache error logs?

This could be another issue with IPv6 and Apache. Try disabling IPv6 completely. If you can tell me what OS & version your fog server is running, I can get you some specific instructions to try.
