Latest FOG 0.33b
-
is the FOG PXE Boot menu configuration page working yet? and if so, do advanced configuration options now need to be in ipxe format instead of the old pxelinux format?
-
The Page itself should still work, but I have not converted it yet to ipxe, so I wouldn’t use it for now. I’d recommend just make the edits you may need, for now, directly in the boot.php if you can follow the flow of logic in there.
If you need help let me know. That’s going to be my project later today, and tomorrow after my biopsy (if I feel well enough to work on it)
If you want, I can maybe get some help on the PXE Settings, to convert it to the new formats, part of the FOGConfigurationPage.class.php?

r1212 and r1213 released.
r1212 simply verifies that the init.gz is the latest and greatest, should also fix inventory issue I was seeing, though no guarantee’s yet.
r1213 just updates the Default file for Redhat to have a valid Timeout value. -
r1214 released.
Installer create’s the relevant links to the init.gz, bzImage, and memtest rather than enlarging the download of the tar/svn code.
Updated init.gz so Inventory actually gets performed now. Sorry I had a typo and needed to correct for it.
-
r1215 released.
Updated TomElliott.config for 3.13.3.
Quick Image from iPXE is truely “Quick” as it no longer boots the init.gz or bzImage. It requires username and password as it “almost” always has, but it’s done solely with iPXE and php.

Hi
Is there a fogprep for Windows8? -

Should I use sysprep?
-
you should ALWAYS use sysprep
(some will argue) but it really helps generalize you install for the real user. -
r1217 released.
Removes the “PXE” Menu options and does not create a new default file. This way iPXE always works. Only gives the menu timeout.
-
don’t suppose iPXE will solve issues on UEFI systems?
-
iPXE doesn’t resolve the UEFI situation, but it is a step toward a solution.
-
Is it correct to assume that the bypass host registration will not work with the move to ipxe, or does it just eliminate a step? It was on my to-do list, but I hadn’t tried it with 0.33b

-
Right now, using bypass host registration should work, as long as you know which edits need to be made. Instead of editing the default file, you’ll edit the stuff from the service/ipxe/boot.php file. I’m preparing to send up another revision soon that refines the stuff, and places the “default” variables in the commons/base.inc.php file.
That said, we could potentially eliminate the need for it, by setting up a near “capone” style command into the menu statements. That being said, currently I’m not using the database init.gz/bzImage settings, but that could be a place to determine if you want to use it.

Hey tom question in general I am debating if I need a dhcp server for fog is there any way to use the basic dhcp on the modem and have fog just do ipxe boot request?
-
Well,
The method I’m using to get iPXE booting is really chainloading. So the initial process still requires DHCP request on the host at initial boot. This means Options 66/67 (Fog server and load filename) are both the same as they always have been, just the config file chains it off to iPXE.
I don’t know if your “modem” DHCP server and settings will allow you directing the PXE stuff to your FOG Server.
-
dont think it will was trying to avoid using dchp on my windows server may have to though.
-
how easy it is to add a configurable image as the background to iPXE?
