HP 4530s - PXE-E3B
-
My hunch was correct… on these 4530s it appears net0 is the wireless --I know this only because
- the MAC address 2) wireless subnet is 10.145.x.x
Oddly enough, this only works when using the Clonezilla live USB. Is there a way to modify something in FOG for these devices specifically to select net1 as the default so it can boot [I]without[/I] having to use the USB?

will they boot to the network if you disable the wireless in bios?

That does not unfortunately, without the Clonezilla USB it goes back to the original PXE-E3B error.
-
For what it’s worth - now my problem is very weird. If I register them for the first time, booting from the live USB, it will work every time after that. It is not detected the first boot into the FOG menu, though.

RLane,
Can you try the svn of FOG? I added a couple more "param"s that I’d like to test your scenario with.
-
Absolutely, I went ahead and installed the newest SVN. Let me know what you would like me to further troubleshoot.
-
Just try booting your 4530’s without workaround please?
I added multi mac’s to be sent, hopefully they will send and find the host in either direction.
-
Without any workarounds, I still get the same PXE-E3B error claiming that there is no TFTP file found.

Keep this change in place:
sudo ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 -
Returned the same error. I’ve compared the bios revisions to the working 4540s model and everything is similar.

Okay,
So you can ipxe boot now? Through the Flash drive of course?
-
is there any difference in the physical connection between the working laptops and the non-working laptops?
are they connected through the same switches? -
I can still boot through the flash drive - yes. As for the connection, no. This is a completely fresh environment. I’m running AD and DHCP services off two domain controllers. Both with split DHCP 50/50. FOG is running on a new 12.04 VM server. Virtual servers are on the same VLAN for testing as the physical laptop.
Port config (although it shouldn’t matter, works for other models)
[CODE]Interface FastEthernet0/5
switchport access vlan 5
switchport mode access
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast[/CODE]EDIT: Now on a live environment (VMware, my base images) I’m getting a kernel panic. I’m assuming this is due to
sudo ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 command, I’m not sure how to revert? Also, if that’s not the cause, it may be a bug with r1813.
EDIT2:
Unofficial Published Kernels
Kernel - 3.0.1 TomElliott
Date : June 12, 2014
Version: 3.0.1
FOG Type: TomElliott
Arch Type: (x86)Was causing the problem. I’ve reverted back to Kernel - 3.10.1 TomElliott – I should’ve looked at the version numbers. Whoops.

Reason you’re getting kernel panic:
Did you download the:
Kernel - 3.0.1 TomElliott
Date : June 12, 2014
Version: 3.0.1
FOG Type: TomElliott
Arch Type: (x86)AS bzImage? If so this is your problem.
You copied a 32 bit kernel as if it was your 64 bit kernel.
bzImage is now the default file used for 64 bit systems.
init.xz is now the default file used for 64 bit systems.bzImage32 is now the default file used for 32 bit systems.
init_32.xz is now the default file used for 32 bit systems.Your configuration, if I’m reading it properly, is:
bzImage32 -> init.xz pairing which will cause a panic.This is why I started putting the arch on the files.
-
Yep, noticed that when I edited the original post - back up and running though. I’m still not sure what’s causing the issue with the 4530s. 4520s and 4540s work perfectly.
I’ll just use a USB until I can figure out what’s causing it -
