        @greg-plamondon OK, that isn’t exactly what I expected. I expected a 200 code, not 302 returned (may show my ignorance). The 302 code means success but redirect which is what is happening in FOG.

        I just tried this on my fog server running 1.4.4 and I got the same 302 return code. So yours is normal. That doesn’t explain why the target computer can’t access the fog server during startup.

        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!

          @greg-plamondon Well I think we need to get better debugging information into the inits to see exactly what is going wrong.

          There is a wiki page that explains how to unpack the inits. Copy the init.xz (virtual hard drive) from /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe to /tmp on your fog server then follow the instructions in the wiki: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Modifying_the_Init_Image

          cp /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz /tmp
          cd /tmp
          xz -d init.xz
          mkdir initmountdir
          mount -o loop init initmountdir
          

          Then change into /tmp/initmountdir/etc/init.d

          I’m going to work on updating S40Network to add more info so we know what its doing (wrong).

          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!

            echo "Press enter to continue"
            read
            exit 1
            

            My comments have a double pound on both sides. Once you update the S40network file then you need to repack the inits and then move to your storage node at this test location. Understand this is only a test init so that we can find out what is going on. You will want to keep your untouched init file after the debugging is over.


            My intuition is still telling me this could be a spanning tree issue, even though you said you checked that. Your debug FOS system has access so that doesn’t specifically have the same conditions as a physical system. I guess you could always try to image a virtual machine at the remote location and see if it works (even before tweaking the inits). In the case of a VM it will not drop the link on the physical switch because the VM is connected to a vswitch.

            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!

              ok, I have the S40network modiefied and the init repacked. do I need to run the same command for testing?

                  @greg-plamondon Whelp, that’s why I’m not a programmer 😉

                  Here is what needs to be fixed, sorry.

                  This is the bad line

                  if [ $ustat -eq 0 && $cstat -eq 0 ]; then
                  

                  This is what it should have been

                  if [[ $ustat -eq 0 && $cstat -eq 0 ]]; then
                  

                  Awe, crud and then the next errors you will find are a few lines down.

                  		if [ $ustat -eq 1 ]; then
                  			echo "## DHCP failed on $iface ##"
                  		fi
                  		if [ $cstat -eq 1 ]; then
                  			echo "## The Master FOG server failed responded to our query ##"
                  		fi
                  

                  need to have the brackets too

                  		if [[ $ustat -eq 1 ]]; then
                  			echo "## DHCP failed on $iface ##"
                  		fi
                  		if [[ $cstat -eq 1 ]]; then
                  			echo "## The Master FOG server failed responded to our query ##"
                  		fi

                      My question is if the connection is good “## We have an IP address on eth0 and the Master FOG server responded to our query ##” Why does it then disconnect the eth0 interface and attempt to obtain an IP when it already has one that is working?

                          @greg-plamondon That looks perfect. If you now key in fog you can single step through deployment. Or just cancel the task on the fog server and then pxe boot this again, the vm should image. At least from a networking point everything is golden.

                          Is there any chance to do this on one of the broken systems?

                          You will see if there is an error, it will loop through this code 3 times then give up. IN this case it only when through once because it worked.

                                @greg-plamondon just for clarity is this on the VM or a physical host?

                                  this is a VM on the same host as the fogserver.
                                  the physical PC’s do the same thing I just can’t get screen-caps of them.

                                    @greg-plamondon looking at your video, it almost appears that there are 2 scripts running to start the networking. We see clearly that the S40network is executing because it has our ## messages. But the second “unknown script at this time” doesn’t print out our ## messages. That tells me there is some other code running not in S40Network that is trying to reinit the network adapter. I guess I need to do a bit more digging here.

                                          @greg-plamondon Its the same issue again, a second set of dhcp functions are being called. Did you take the S40network.old out of the init.d directory? Actually you can delete it since you saved the original init.xz image anyway.
