Cannot deploy images

[Sebastian Roth]

@Tom Would you please also comment on George’s question about other laptops/PCs PXE behavior. Is it only one single device or all of the 7240s? Please try other devices to see if you have a general issue or if it’s model related in your case.

@tom Looking at it now

[george1421]

@tom Look at your IM (chat bubble) on the FOG tool part. I have a few questions

@george1421 So far we found in the pcap that the client is trying to download bzImage412 and the fog server is replying with file not found.

[george1421]

@tom Well that wasn’t what I expected (it looks good).

Lets try one more URL call: http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=<mac_address_of_target_computer>

[george1421]

@george1421 Just for clarity this is what we see in the pcap

Note that packet 56 asking for bzImage412 and then in packet 58 the FOG server says 302 not found.

@tom OK this isn’t getting us to the answer. Not your fault, I think “fog” is helping us by hiding the answer.

Can you go to the FOG webgui and look at the FOG Configuration->FOG Settings. Then in FOG Settings look at these values:
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL (suspect is wrong) should be bzImage
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_32 (probably right)

[Tom]

@george1421

[george1421]

@tom Well as they say… There you go. You found the smoking gun.

Did someone try to create a custom kernel for some reason?

[Tom]

@george1421
Not that I am aware of. I was on vacation.
So, what are the changes I need to make?

Thanks,
Tom

[george1421]

@tom Well I would start out by changing that value of bzImage412 in FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL back to the default of bzImage. Then reboot your target computer and see if you can register it.

[Tom]

@george1421
I will tested in the morning and provide feedback.

Thanks for all the help.

Tom

[Tom]

Changed the entry to bzimage4123 and it seems to be working fine.
Thank you for all your help.

You guys ROCK!

Tom

[Sebastian Roth]

@Tom Why the heck you using bzimage4123 now or was this just a typo?

[Tom]

@sebastian-roth

I cannot say how it was changed. I never touch the settings, unless it is a fresh install which was not the case.

Tom

[Sebastian Roth]

Nevermind, though this is definitely not something FOG did by itself… case closed.
