Windows 7 image on Hyper-v wont boot from ipxe
-
Did you literally restore the file as menuboot.class.php?
It’s name should be BootMenu.class.php (case important.)
-
sorry, thats a typo on my part…BootMenu.class.php is what was restored. thanks
-
any recommendations.
-
Can you walk us trough exactly what you get now? Does it grab an IP to PXE to, does anything from fog show up, does it retrieve the init.xz or the bzimage file?
-
Hi thanks for your reply… it looks just like it does now in post #1… that’s my hyper-v windows 7 machine… all other physical clients are unaffected
thanks
-
Ok, did you comment out this line as you did before?

By restored i’m assuming you put the default menu back in. -
Thank you for looking into this.
And yes sir. [B][I][SIZE=12px]//print “console --picture $this->booturl/ipxe/bg.png --left 100 --right 80\n” [/SIZE][/I][/B][I][SIZE=12px]in place[/SIZE][/I]
and yes the default file was put back in place.

If you want,
You can try the lastest svn too.
Since 1.2.0 I’ve learned how to test whether the console part will operate or not and adjust the screen accordingly.

Did a fresh reinstall of 14.01.1 today…aswell as fog 1.2.0… commentied the line out of BootMenu.class.php.

I guys, can anybody help me on this matter… the odd thing is… i have had it working…(post #10).
I just don’t understand why i can’t get it working now…i dont want to have to make a physical machine just to do my primary image.

Hi Jah, I have been using Hyper-V to do some Win7 64 bit images. You have to have a legacy NIC on the Vm and the boot order in the BIOS must be this legacy NIC. And the Fog server doing the DHCP
-
Hi thanks for your reply… Yes its a Legacy NIC on Hyper-v and set to first boot… however my on site DHCP server is serving the dynamic IPs.
I do get an IP address from my DHCP…it just displays the error in POST #1
Thanks again for looking at this.

Hi thanks for your help Purpleturtle99! after switch fog to do DHCP i can now boot from LAN thank you!
