Add an menu item thruogh web GUI

[JGallo]

@klkwarrior May I suggest the following:

1. If your project of imaging lots of machines are on the same network, maybe image as a group based on the model computers? Or are the computers at various sites?

2. Not sure if latest working branch has this but I know that 1.6 does have the deploy image option from the client which just basically allows for you to choose the image to deploy rather than defining anything. That I think is what is probably going to accomplish for you and you don’t have to do anything on the web UI in the sense of adding additional functions. Just define the image, upload, and then begin imaging.

@jgallo that option has been there since 1.4 I believe.

@jgallo We do see the deploy image option yet it always errors out with “failed chainloading -s”. I can get the full error when I use it today.

@klkwarrior please try reuploading but wait until you see the picture load before submitting.

@klkwarrior did you start creating your own menu items?

[klkwarrior]

@tom-elliott no, this is the current state of deploy image. I have tried looking up this error and always get sent to ipxe.org/cmd. From other co-workers of mine, they say this started to happen after we had our Fog Server updated. I was not here when this happened.

@tom-elliott Would getting the boot.php file help diagnose this issue? if so i can provide that.

@klkwarrior Even better, please open the following URLs in your browser and provide the full output you get here: http://10.0.0.5/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php and http://10.0.0.5/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (put in the client PC MAC address instead of xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)

@klkwarrior Can’t see where this -S is coming from. Can you please capture the HTTP traffic when this is happening?

• Get your client ready but don’t start yet. Make sure you know the IP address it receives on DHCP later on.
• install tcpdump on your FOG server (e.g. sudo apt-get install tcpdump)
• run tcpdump: sudo tcpdump -w item_issue.pcap host x.x.x.x (put in the client’s IP address instead of x.x.x.x and leave the command running)
• boot up the client till you see the error message on screen - then stop tcpdump (ctrl+c), upload the item_issue.pcap file to some server/cloud and post a link here.
