Sending Discover..... in loop
-
I updated to the latest svn 2974. But the problem remains the same.
I also isolated the Server and Host from main network and connected them using a separate network switch.
- The host gets correct boot IP.
- The host displays FOG menu correctly.
on selecting any of the menu options
‘Perform Full Host Registeration…’ OR
‘Quick Regiseration and Inventory’ OR
‘Client System Information …’screen displays
/bzimage… ok
/init.xz … okAfter this the same continuous screen display…
‘Sending Discover …’
‘Sending Discover …’ -
Anything in the logfiles (probably /var/log/syslog on ubuntu/debian), for example:
[CODE]Feb 3 18:14:44 free dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 52:54:00:12:34:56 via eth0
Feb 3 18:14:45 free dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.0.12 to 52:54:00:12:34:56 via eth0
Feb 3 18:14:47 free dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.0.12 (192.168.0.250) from 52:54:00:12:34:56 via eth0
Feb 3 18:14:47 free dhcpd: DHCPACK on 192.168.0.12 to 52:54:00:12:34:56 via eth0[/CODE]Would you mind running tcpdump to capture the packets while this is happening and upload the packet dump?? Please install tcpdump and run this on the server while the client boots up (change ‘eth0’ to whatever your FOG interface is):
[CODE]tcpdump -i eth0 -nn -s 0 -w dhcp-problem.pcap[/CODE]Probably a good idea to keep your setup isolated (just server and client) to not fill the capture with lots of nonsense packets too. ZIP/TAR.GZ the pcap-file before uploading.

I’m not sure if it’s related but I have a similar issue on a box that has more that 1 network card. The initial boot sequence will use the main ethernet port, then the latter portion of the boot sequence wants to use the second port.
In my case what happens is that ethernet port #1 will properly load the bzImage and init_32.xz. After that the s40network script brings up eth0 but now eth0 points to the second network port.
I’m using the SVN version from yesterday, BTW.

I was having the exact same problem, “Sending discover” just constantly looped
Took the second NIC out of the PC and it’s working like normalI’m running SVN 2973
EDIT: I was trying to do a full registration, the PC wasn’t registered yet and hadn’t tried adding it manually

Have you tried adding both MAC addresses to FOG?

I tried adding another MAC address on a different host and the add MAC button doesn’t do anything when I click it
