Unsolved IPXE Boot Issue with Realtek RTL8153
-
FOG Version (FOG 0.32)
OS Version (Ubuntu 12.04)
Using Tom Elliot’s latest kernel (used wiki to make it computable with version 0.32)I got this almost working. I enabled CDC Ethernet Support in the kernel found in (Device Drivers > Network device support > USB Network Adapters > Multi purpose USB Networking Framework > CDC Ethernet Support)
It seems to load a driver compatible with the RTL8153 but does not configure it in /etc/networking/interfaces. If I go in debug mode and add the following lines auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp in /etc/networking/interfaces it seems to work.Not sure way this is not written in when the driver for the card is being loaded.

When booting into Fog.

Are you having problems once booting into the FOG System or when you’re at iPXE?

FOG Version (FOG 0.32)
OS Version (Ubuntu 12.04)
Using Tom Elliot’s latest kernel (used wiki to make it computable with version 0.32)I believe the problem is with the driver in the kernel. I have checked if the Realtek RTL8153 usb Ethernet controller is loaded in the kernel and it is. But for some reason it just don’t seem to load.

I would be curious to see if anyone has had any success with iPXE botting via USB to Ethernet Adapters.
-
I have tried a few different kernals without success, and tried to compile my own kpxe file. Any luck anyone else?

I am getting the same issue, with a Dell M3800. The laptop has a USB network adapter (SMSC LAN7500)
I have updated the undionly the one Tom posted earlier, this made no change.
I am running Fog 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 14.
Other systems are working really well.
Regards
Colin.

I was able to get past the initialising device but thats all. Once iPXE starts to load it hangs (see image.)
I also disabled USB 3.0 in bios, to try and avoid same issue mentioned in this post: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/realtek-8153-usb-network-adapter.10302/#post-25209[/url]

Apologies couldn’t find edit button, but just wanted to also add that:
iPXE booting works fine with the other laptops in our fleet.
EDIT: Worked out how to edit my post. I’m downloading CentOS for the time being to perhaps try a different OS.
