      @Merilious Some environments require the pxe-service code and some do not. I don’t have a solid answer for you, but we start and step 1 and move to step 4 testing at each step. Your pcap file was flowing perfectly until it got to the proxydhcp dialog. dnsmasq didn’t supply what your PXE rom needed so it abort the pxe boot. This is all different pxe rom requirements. Once you are in iPXE then fog has a better chance of controlling the pxe booting process.

      Ah ok, I just reread what iPXE posted, duplicate option 66… your dhcp server gave it one IP address for the boot server and dhcp proxy gave it another so it talked to the proxy to find out what to do. I need to look at your pcap file again a bit closer to see where your main dhcp server was sending the client. Do you have another imaging system in your environment?

      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!

        I have my Parallel VM’s. Just tested the EFI boot on it and it worked great. Exact same message about the duplicate DHCP. Unfortunately I’m out for the weekend as of this post so if you don’t hear anything from me until Monday… I REALLY appreciate the help. Any further information you need just ask and I’ll post first chance I get. When I saw the duplicate info notice I asked our network guy if the Next-Server entry happened to still linger but it was not.

          @Merilious Great to see that you guys figured this out already. Well done George! Thanks for posting the PCAP and pictures as well. Looks like our iPXE script (see here) is not behaving the way we intended it to. I am not sure if this a general issue or just caused by the UEFI firmware you have.

          Should be save to ignore in your case as far as I can see in the PCAP file there is no next-server/option 66 sent by your main DHCP server.

          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)

            Well that may explain why I didn’t see the main dhcp server responding with next server. I was going to have the OP post his ltsp.conf again on monday to see if we had something in the wrong spot and/or capture another pcap file. We might want to do that just to be clear that dnsmasq isn’t doing something unexpected.

              Alright I’m back (a day late). We’re trying to move fast with this so I’ve gone ahead and began building the FOG server on our production side. Again though, I’m stuck on breaking DNS once DNSMasq is installed. I don’t remember how I got around this before to do the DNSMasq build/upgrade to 2.76 unfortunately…

              You had mentioned disabling dnsmasq from taking over DNS through ltsp.conf. Here is my current running ltsp.conf:

               Don't function as a DNS server:
port=0

# Log lots of extra information about DHCP transactions.
log-dhcp

# Set the root directory for files available via FTP.
tftp-root=/tftpboot

# Disable re-use of the DHCP servername and filename fields as extra
# option space. That's to avoid confusing some old or broken DHCP clients.
dhcp-no-override

# inspect the vendor class string and match the text to set the tag
dhcp-vendorclass=BIOS,PXEClient:Arch:00000
dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI32,PXEClient:Arch:00006
dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI,PXEClient:Arch:00007
dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI64,PXEClient:Arch:00009
dhcp-match=set:ParallelsEFI,97,00:ef:e3:6d:16:10:6f:46:9d:87:12:5a:12:c2

# Set the boot file name based on the matching tag from the vendor class (above)
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI32,i386-efi/ipxe.efi,,10.100.10.22
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI,ipxe.efi,,10.100.10.22
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI64,ipxe.efi,,10.100.10.22
dhcp-boot=tag:UEFI,tag:ParallelsEFI,intel.efi,10.100.10.22,10.100.10.22

# The boot filename, Server name, Server Ip Address
dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,,10.100.10.22

# PXE menu.  The first part is the text displayed to the user.  The second is t$
pxe-prompt="Booting FOG!",1

pxe-service=X86PC, "Boot to FOG", undionly.kpxe
pxe-service=X86-64_EFI, "Boot to FOG UEFI", ipxe.efi
pxe-service=BC_EFI, "Boot to FOG UEFI PXE-BC", ipxe.efi

dhcp-range=10.100.10.22,proxy

              Here is my NetworkManager.conf where I removed the “DNS=DNSMASQ” line:

              [main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile,ofono

[ifupdown]
managed=false

              I noticed that I get a new connection named en32 when I install DNSMasq (or somewhere along the lines of installing FOG and DNSMasq). I went in that connections settings and saw 127.0.0.1 as the DNS entries so I updated them to our proper DNS entries, reset networkmanager and dnsmasq services, but still could not ping google but 8.8.8.8 pinged fine. Any ideas?

                @Merilious if your DNS is behind a domain you may need to add the domain name to search from. Just a theory no real clue though.

                  port=0

                  It looks like @Quazz has a solution for this here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7193/ubuntu-14-04-lts-with-dnsmasq-no-external-dns/8

                  I did a little research on this and specifically the command “port=0” and its working as designed (??). From Quazz’s post it looks like you just need to adjust the dnsmasq startup scripts to not throw 127.0.0.1 into the resolv.conf file.

                    So that did the trick! I added that line and got both EFI and BIOS to boot up to FOG. One thing always needs to another though…

                    I tried doing a quick registration for each BIOS and EFI. BIOS goes through just fine, but the EFI gets stuck at bzIMAGE… 0%. I tried going in to the FOG web portal and updating the kernel but it still won’t budge. Any ideas?

                      This is an issue with (around) the iPXE kernel for efi. What file name are you sending for a efi system? ipxe.efi?

                      If so, for grins try this iPXE kernel instead: ipxe7156.efi Sometimes we’ll find hardware with flaky firmware (not so much Dells). Also make sure your firmware is up to date on that device.

                        I tried both the ipxe7156.efi and the intel.efi. Both had the same effect. Looked in the syslog and here’s the print out of one of the attempts. Just for verification I went in to the ltsp and changed all bootfile options to either the ipxe7156.efi or intel.efi. The one thing that pops out a little is the line saying

                          So I’ve gone through all the combos that I could find between the boot files found in tftpboot and the NICs provided by the Parallel VM options.

                          Bootfiles tried:
                          intel.efi
                          intel7156.efi
                          ipxe.efi
                          ipxe7156.efi
                          realtek.efi
                          realtek7156.efi
                          snp7156.efi
                          snp.efi
                          snponly.efi
                          snponly7156.efi

                          NIC options:
                          Intel PRO/1000 MT
                          Intel Gigabit CT (82574L)
                          Realtek RTL8029AS
                          Virtio network adapter

                          Some would fail to get to the FOG boot screen. Most would get the previously stated bzIMAGE… 0 to 1%. A few got slightly further but would fail at this part:

                            @Merilious So just to be clear this issue is with your Parallel VM and not with the Dell?

                            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!

                              For now yes…I shamefully forgot my Dell test laptop at home. That’d be the big test to see if I can get that to register with FOG. Will post here soon as I get that test done. Thanks a bunch for all the info!

                                @Merilious That is fine, I just wanted to be clear because something with the parallel vm may be causing your specific issue with bzImage not downloading correctly. We typically see strangeness like this with host systems with flaky uefi firmware.

                                Be sure to let us know on the Inspiron.

                                  Fired up my test Dell Inspiron 7559 through UEFI boot and it first failed but that was my fault. I forgot to undo all the changes to the ltsp.conf I had done on Friday. After I changed the boot files all back to ipxe.efi the Dell 7559 booted just fine to the FOG menu and also successfully registered with the FOG server using the quick registration. I guess your assumption was correct about the funky setup of the Parallels UEFI VMs. BIOS works GREAT on those VMs, it’s just the EFI boot that doesn’t get through the bzImage phase.
