Chainloading Failed on All Models on 5 different servers

Server
- FOG Version: 1.3-RC11 - 5956
- OS: CentOS 6
Client
- Service Version: Version provided by this revision
- OS: Windows 10
Description
I just upgraded several of the servers from an older SVN revision to the current one in the repository and now I’m getting a chainloading error on all of our computers we try to image with it. We select “deploy image” and get a chainloading failed. I have verified that we have undionly.kpxe as the boot file in our Windows DHCP server and the exit type that is set is SANBOOT, but I tried changing it to both GRUB and EXIT with no dice. These machines are using Legacy boot, rather than UEFI.
-
I’m assuming by “Version 5956” you’re referring to the SVN Revision number which would mean the version of FOG You’re running now is 1.3.0-RC-11.
That said, this should prevent further issues:
https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/commit/0c4e91464d340665feaea1bc2ffb7fc2ee5c2031
-
Can you give us a photo of the error, please include the full screen and try to make it focused and without a big light glare so we can read what it says.
-
Attached is the image.
I think I found a bug, though, in the latest version. If a machine doesn’t have a default image assigned to it, it gives the chainloading failed message. However, when I go into the host on the web UI and assign a default image to it, it no longer has this issue.
-
@Kris-Phillips Can you do this for us?
Remove the image, or register a new host, but don’t assign an image to it.
Then from a browser key in http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=<mac_address_of_system_registered> and press enter. That should create the ipxe boot menu in the browser. If you are doing this on a deploy image task then deploy the image and do the above step. The developers will probably need to see where its breaking in the iPXE menu (even though this is through a deploy, ipxe is used on bootup then it loads the FOS Engine to deploy the image).
-
Here you go! I also unassigned the image and verified that it was broken again by trying to boot.

@Kris-Phillips This almost seems like it’s looking at the wrong place to get iPXE information. What is “in the latest version” exactly? What version of FOG are you running as it displays next and/or in the cloud on the GUI?
Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.
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)
Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

What is output if you go to:
http://10.10.31.25/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=<mac_address_ofsystem_registered> and press enter?
You’ll notice the syntax is nearly identical to @george1421 but this time implicitely calling what I imagine is the url data is being routed to.
If you can please also post the output of:
cat /tftpboot/default.ipxe -
Tom,
My original post has the version. Its 5956. The “Version provided by this revision” is the FOG agent for the client PC’s I’m referring to. I didn’t figure it applied, since we’re talking about imaging and not the FOG agent.
The output of the HTTP request you gave me is what I posted earlier. Are you asking me to do it again or something with a different host?
I’ve looked at the command 2-3 times and it looks exactly the same as what was asked of me to post earlier.Here is the output of my default.ipxe:
#!ipxe cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386 params param mac0 ${net0/mac} param arch ${arch} param platform ${platform} param product ${product} param manufacturer ${product} param ipxever ${version} param filename ${filename} isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme :bootme chain http://10.10.31.25/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params -

Because of that, I’m moving this to bug reports. Can @Moderators or @Testers confirm please? It should be simple and quick. I’m unable to at the moment.

@Wayne-Workman this is only happening because a task was created ?
-
You say in the latest version but you’re running 5956?
-
I’m assuming by “Version 5956” you’re referring to the SVN Revision number which would mean the version of FOG You’re running now is 1.3.0-RC-11.
That said, this should prevent further issues:

@Tom-Elliott Thanks! I’ll pull the latest SVN and see how it does. Should be able to report back on Monday whether this change fixes it or not.
[EDIT]
Just tried pulling from the SVN and it still says I’m on the current version. I’ll wait until Monday to try and pull again, as I’m assuming there is a bit of a delay in this getting pushed to the SVN.
-
@Kris-Phillips When I’m referring to working-RC-12 (Or any working for that matter), it’s not pushed immediately to the “base” repositories. This is because we’re in RC Cycles. So what I’m working on will not be just used for the whole. If you NEED to see this working, you can install but I’d recommend against it because the methodology in use is more or less an attempt to limit the confusion of how one person is working while another is not.
-
I just tried to confirm this bug, I am using RC-11 at home, I unassigned the image from a computer and then booted it up, it booted to the network fine and then exited to the HDD just fine.
I’m not doubting what you’re saying happened, but it’s probably something else. What else did you change besides the image?
-
@Wayne-Workman
Not sure how its working for you. I upgrades 5 different imaging servers and they all have the same problem. The only thing that I change is unassigning the image. I remove the default image, it breaks. I reassign it, it works again. I can replicated this several times with several different hosts. I’d be happy to dig if someone has any idea where it could be happening. We are working around it for now, though.
