[quote=“PaganLinuxGeek, post: 42573, member: 2226”]Still working on it, with no success.[/quote]

So, out of curiosity (and some valid reason to bump this thread), I checked the Wiki’s Working device & Problematic Device list. The pavillion g7 is not listed in either.

PaganLinuxGeek

Well I wouldn’t want to list it as NOT WORKING until I can test it on a known functional FOG setup…
Anyone have one running in the panhandle of Florida?

Tom Elliott

Where I’m more confused, is this still based on 1.0.1? If so, can you, at the least, try more updated ipxe files?

PaganLinuxGeek

It is the latest stable release 1.2.0 running on Fedora Workstation 21 it was NOT an upgrade but a new installation as I had recently formatted and installed fedora 21.

I am using dnsmasq to proxy the dhcp options needed to network boot clients.
I HAVE check httpd logs and the clients do NOT progress to the point of requesting files via http
I did have logging enabled on dnsmasq to verify proper operation but have since disabled it again.
This setup is running on the HOST OS and NOT in a vm. I have been attempting to use a vbox vm to test this as well as my personal laptop a pavillion g7
Please let me know what other information you need and I will endeavor to provide it. I can ssh into this machine running at home and manipulate a virtualbox vm via x over ssh.

FOG now has everything it needs to setup your server, but please
understand that this script will overwrite any setting you may
have setup for services like DHCP, apache, pxe, tftp, and NFS.

It is not recommended that you install this on a production system
as this script modifies many of your system settings.

This script should be run by the root user on Redhat or with sudo on Ubuntu.

** Notice ** Redhat users will need to disable SELinux and iptables in
order to use FOG
Please see our wiki for more information at http://www.fogproject.org/wiki

Here are the settings FOG will use:
Base Linux: Redhat
Detected Linux Distribution: Fedora
Installation Type: Normal Server
Server IP Address: 192.168.1.116
DHCP router Address:
DHCP DNS Address:
Interface: eth0
Using FOG DHCP: 0
Internationalization: 0
Donate: 0

    DHCP will NOT be setup but you must setup your
    current DHCP server to use FOG for PXE services.

    On a Linux DHCP server you must set:
        next-server

    On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
        option 066 & 067

              Option 066 is the IP of the FOG Server: (e.g. 192.168.1.116)
              Option 067 is the undionly.kpxe file: (e.g. undionly.kpxe)

Ok, Fedora 21 support wasn’t formally added to FOG till SVN 2920(ish), Which isn’t part of 1.2.0

I’d highly recommend trying SVN 2920, 2922, or the latest SVN

I’d do a fresh install, (OS and the whole 9 yards) and follow along with those Fedora 21 instructions.

The commands to install a specific SVN are in the instructions.

Junkhacker

personally, i recommend 2948. I’ve had no problems with it. the latest svn is bleeding edge and might be a bit glitchy at the moment.

You are recommending a format and fresh install of the OS? then install a development version of the software? I just want to make sure I understand you correctly. Before you respond please see my post just prior to this showing that nfs is active and exporting the images and dev directories

Because everything else that was tried hasn’t worked & because you don’t have a functioning 1.2.0 FOG machine, I think that re-installing the OS and going with SVN 2922 (or 2948) is very safe and probably the best next-step.

The installation script alone in 2922 does so much small tweaking for Fedora 21, it really vastly cut down on the things that had to be done to get FOG working on Fedora 21. As you did, I tried putting 1.2.0 on Fedora 21 originally; I documented what I did. My instructions were a mile long, consisted of over a dozen web page links, several dozen commands, notes, etc. I didn’t even know exactly what commands were making it work… But I did get uni-cast working on my own. Tom got me straightened out further with multicasting, and other issues. We worked together so he could fine tune the installation script for Fedora 21.

After SVN 2920, my instructions dropped from 12(ish) pages to six simple, uncomplicated pages.

We know beyond doubt that SVN 2922 works on Fedora 21, and have instructions written specifically for this.

If you don’t want to do a re-install or use the SVN, maybe Tom will help.

PaganLinuxGeek

Ugh. this machine doubles as my workstation. Lots of work to re-install this beast… Where can I get svn 2922? Perhaps I can round up a older alower machine to install 21 on and then this developmental version.

If I knew what the failed actions were I could likely ammend or perform them manually. I had to do that with 0.32 on fedora 19, and 20…

The command to get 2922 is in the Fedora 21 instructions on the Wiki.

Literally every single step is covered there.

As far as amending 1.2.0, that’s a Tom question.

Now I’ve set dnsmasq.conf to use .116 What would cause the clients to default to the .1 ip instead? is there another file somewhere that undionly.kpxe is referencing?

Simple question but, in your install log, you answered no for using FOG as a dhcp server. Have you covered DHCP options 66 & 67, made sure they are correct?

[url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FOGUserGuide#DHCP_Settings[/url]

Junkhacker

the line in the ipxe embeded script that loads default.ipxe is [CODE]chain tftp://${next-server}/default.ipxe[/CODE] i’m not sure how it could both load the undionly.kpxe file and get the location of the default.ipxe file wrong

PaganLinuxGeek

I cannot modify those options in the router my ISP provided. That is why I am using dnsmasq
I tried installing the svn suggested over my existing fog install. The “devel” version I guess shows the server IP…
I’m trying to understand why it’s pulling the router’s IP instead of what dnsmasq is sending…

As you’re using dnsmasq, have you made a link or copy of the “bootfile” on the /tftpboot as undionly.0

PaganLinuxGeek

Yes I did undionly.0
