@cnkpadobi said in Issues booting UEFI devices a:

ltps.conf ltsp.conf ltsp.conf~ network-manager README

I don’t quite understand the above line. Taking it out of context it appears there are more than one configuration file.

ltps.conf
ltsp.conf
ltsp.conf~

In that directory.

@george1421 so if I run the sudo netstat -an|grep 4011 it should give me something correct versus taking me back to the prompt?

If it takes you back to the command prompt, then that tells us the dnsmasq is NOT running on your fog server.

@george1421

YES, all 3 config files are in that directory

george1421

@cnkpadobi lets remove all but the correct one (like the one I posted). We can only have one configuration file in there with the options I provided. AND if that is the case /etc/dnsmasq.conf should remain unchanged from the original install.

I would suggest that we keep the standard file of /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf and then remove the rest.

cnkpadobi

@george1421 should those configure files be rename or removed?

george1421

@cnkpadobi removed. If its there it will be read. If you are concerned about the content then move them to /root (root’s home) or some other location, but not in the /ete/dnsmasq.d path.

cnkpadobi

ok sorry,

So I am still gett this error
dnsmasq: bad option at line 2 of /etc/dnsmasq.d/q

the only thing inthe ltsp.conf on line two is port=0

there are no other config files in the directory

@cnkpadobi

In your ltsp.conf file add in the following lines below this one

# PXE menu.  The first part is the text displayed to the user.  The second is the timeout, in seconds.
pxe-prompt="Booting FOG Client", 1

and before the

dhcp-range=<fog_server_ip>,proxy

Insert these:

# PXEClient:Arch:00000
pxe-service=X86PC, "Boot BIOS PXE", undionly.kpxe

# PXEClient:Arch:00007
pxe-service=BC_EFI, "Boot UEFI PXE-BC", ipxe.efi

# PXEClient:Arch:00009
pxe-service=X86-64_EFI, "Boot UEFI PXE-64", ipxe.efi

These lines are only needed when your main dhcp server is giving conflicting next server information. Lets see if that fixes your uefi booting.

There is one additional condition that dnsmasq can (mask), this is where you force the next server as part of the pxe service command, where you append the IP address of your fog server to the pxe-service line. You will need to do this for each pxe-service command in your ltsp.conf file you inserted above.

pxe-service=BC_EFI, "Boot UEFI PXE-BC",ipxe.efi,<fog_server_ip>

(this post is in response to several IM chat sessions to get the OP going. legacy mode is working, its just giving the uefi systems an error during iPXE kernel booting)

@george1421 Thanks for this… just a quick clarification is there a space after the comma before the ip address

george1421

@cnkpadobi Only for humans to understand, computers don’t care. Space or no space it works the same.

cnkpadobi

this worked great issue resolved.
