      Hi FOGers!!

      I have problems with Dell optiplex 7050 and UEFI.

      Scenario:
      Dell Optiplex 7050
      BIOS version: 1.8.3
      FOG version: 1.5.5

      I use DNSMASQ in the server as proxy, I configurated it following the wiki [https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence]

      # 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

# Set the boot file name based on the matching tag from the vendor class (above)
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI32,i386-efi/ipxe_delay.efi,,10.0.15.4
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI,ipxe.efi,,10.0.15.4
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI64,10secdelay/ipxe.efi,,10.0.15.4


# The boot filename, Server name, Server Ip Address
dhcp-boot=10secdelay/undionly.kpxe,,10.0.15.4

# 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

      I don’t have problems with other hardware like HP 800 G2 or G1, but I can not boot the Dell Optiplex 7050 using UEFI, with BIOS works fine.

      I paste the message log file where the dnsmasq logs:

      The next log is from a HP 800 G2, with this hardware the UEFI boot process works fine.

        So if I understand the logs, its pxe booting and picking up a dhcp address but it doesn’t download the ipxe.efi boot file. Are you getting an error on the workstation itself (i.e. PXE-XXX)? I have seen one other firmware do this (basically ignore the boot info).

        Is your fog server and target computer on the same subnet? If not can you test it there so we can get the complete pcap picture? https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9673/when-dhcp-pxe-booting-process-goes-bad-and-you-have-no-clue I’d like to look at the issue from the network side.

        Also have you confirmed that you have the latest firmware on this failing computer?

        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!

            In the workstation doesn’t appear any PXE error:

            >>Checking Media Presence .....
>>Media Present.......
>>Start PXE over IPv4 [and later IPv6]

            Is your fog server and target computer on the same subnet?

            No. The server is in one vlan and the clients are in different vlans

            Also have you confirmed that you have the latest firmware on this failing computer?
            I just see that Dell have update the BIOS version in November 1.11.0 and in March 1.11.1. The computer have the 1.8.3 version. I will try to update it but without hope 🙂

            Also (unless you didn’t include everything which I suspect since the dhcp-range stanza is missing) you are missing the proxy-dhcp bits in your dnsmasq config file.

            I don’t include them:

            # VLAN 50 (Biblioteca) 
dhcp-range=10.227.34.1,proxy,255.255.254.0

            I don’t have any pxe-service lines in the config file:

            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

              I have updated the BIOS version to 1.11.0 and 1.11.1 and doesn’t work 😞

                Is there any way for testing we can get both on the same vlan? Since you are running dnsmasq the pxe boot information should be available on the same vlan as your FOG server. That way when you run tcpdump from the FOG server you will see the broadcast as well as unicast traffic.

                Its interesting that you have this part of the proxy-dhcp stuff but not the remainder.

                # The known types are x86PC, PC98, IA64_EFI, Alpha, Arc_x86,
# Intel_Lean_Client, IA32_EFI, BC_EFI, Xscale_EFI and X86-64_EFI
# This option is first and will be the default if there is no input from the user.
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

                I’ve found that if the netboot section doesn’t work on some clients the proxy-dhcp part will. I’m not saying it will work in your situation, but it won’t hurt to add it.

                With my dnsmasq configuration there are two part the netboot (dhcp-boot) that sets dhcp options 66 and 67 (and boot-file and next-server) in the dhcp header. The second part is the proxy-dhcp (pxe-service) bits for proxy-dhcp (udp port 4011).

                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!

                  Hi @george1421 ,

                  Adding the pxe-service lines works fine XDD… I wonder if is a miracle that it has worked well until now in the other hardwares.

                  Actual dnsmasq.conf file:

                  port=0
log-dhcp
tftp-root=/tftpboot

# Disable re-use of the DHCP servername and filename fields as extra
# sy=2pace. 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

# Set the boot file name based on the matching tag from the vendor class (above)
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI32,i386-efi/ipxe_delay.efi,,10.0.15.8
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI,ipxe_delay.efi,,10.0.15.8
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI64,ipxe_delay.efi,,10.0.15.8

# The boot filename, Server name, Server Ip Address
dhcp-boot=undionly_delay.kpxe,,10.0.15.8

# 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

# The known types are x86PC, PC98, IA64_EFI, Alpha, Arc_x86,
# Intel_Lean_Client, IA32_EFI, BC_EFI, Xscale_EFI and X86-64_EFI
# This option is first and will be the default if there is no input from the user.
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-reply-delay=0

# VLAN 50 (Biblioteca) 
dhcp-range=10.227.34.1,proxy,255.255.254.0

                    I’m glad you have it working now. Yes its strange why you didn’t find another system with the same issues. But that is why I included both, I ran across a system that would boot with the netboot info alone.
