Fog problem with lenovo thinkcenter M73

[Wolfbane8653]

What version of Fog are you running?

You mentioned virtual machine. Please make sure your network settings for the server are set to bridged. Allowing the server to get an actual ip address from your dhcp server.

Is your fog server your DHCP server?

Ce est le brouillard 1.2.0, oui je pense que ce est un serveur dhcp.

[Sebastian Roth]

I am very sorry but writing in french lowers the chance of getting an answer. I’d love to help but unfortunately I don’t understand a word of french!

[A Former User]

I’m very sorry, i doesn’t want to write in french, it’s strange, kay in english " It’s fog 1.2.0 and I think it’s my dhcp server" sorry again for the french word !

[Tom Elliott]

You can use translate.google.com to write in your normal key, and translate from french to english. It’s not perfect but we’ll get the gist of it.

Vous pouvez utiliser translate.google.com à écrire dans votre clé normale, et de traduire du français vers l’anglais. Ce ne est pas parfait, mais nous allons obtenir l’essentiel de celui-ci.

Have you set the computers BIOS to boot from the network? it won’t automatically do that.

[B]And my error logs :[/B]

[Wolfbane8653]

If this is where your install log stops you did not finish the install completely. Please re-install and follow the directions for the web schema update. Then finish the install script.

Google Translate:
Si ce est là votre journal de l’installation se arrête, vous ne avez pas terminé complètement l’installation. Se il vous plaît ré-installer et suivez les instructions pour la mise à jour du schéma web. Puis terminer le script d’installation.

[A Former User]

I think my installation was finish because i have :

[I] Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.^C[/I]
[I]Script finish sur jeu. 26 mars 2015 14:58:43 CET[/I]

[Tom Elliott]

Based on what I’m reading, the information did not get installed.

It looks like instead of typing the [Enter] key, somebody pressed the ^C (CTRL + C) which breaks the script.

Google Translate:
Sur la base de ce que je lis, l’information ne est pas installé.

Il ressemble au lieu de taper sur la touche [Entrée], quelqu’un a appuyé sur le ^ C (CTRL + C) qui rompt le script.

[Wolfbane8653]

That is not the finish of the script. It should end with:
[CODE] * Setting up and starting MySql…OK

• Backing up user reports…OK

• Setting up and starting Apache Web Server…OK

• Changing permissions on apache log files…OK

• Downloading kernels and inits…OK

• Downloading New FOG Client file…OK

• Copying back any custom hook files…OK

• Copying back any custom report files…OK
  You still need to install/update your database schema.
  This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:

  http://192.168.0.3/fog/management

Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.

• Setting up storage…OK
• Setting up and starting DHCP Server…Skipped

You can now login to the FOG Management Portal using
the information listed below. The login information
is only if this is the first install.

This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:

I’m already re installed FOG and nothing but all computer work with this server but just our Lenovo thinkcenter M73. My problem is with Lenovo think center M73.

[A Former User]

I am very grateful for your help

[Wayne Workman]

I believe the Thinkcentre M73 uses UEFI booting by default.

Your installation log indicates you’re using FOG for DHCP.

UEFI enabled systems generally use ipxe.efi to boot with.

You can set option 067 to point to ipxe.efi and then try to network boot the Thinkcentre M73.

The settings are in this file: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

You would change
[CODE]filename “undionly.kpxe”; [/CODE]
to:
[CODE]filename “ipxe.efi”; [/CODE]

Or, you can try to disable UEFI and enable legacy boot, and PXE boot in the BIOS on the Thinkcentre M73.

Let us know how it goes.

[Wayne Workman]

Also, the others above this post are correct, that is not the end of your installation log.

When you see this:
[CODE]You still need to install/update your database schema.
This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:
http://192.168.0.3/fog/management
Press [Enter] key when database is updated/installed.[/CODE]

That means you should use a web browser and go to this address:
[CODE]http://192.168.0.3/fog/management[/CODE]
and click on the “Update Database” button.
After doing that, then you would press [Enter] for the installer.

After you’ve re-ran the installer, please give us your entire installation log.

We use this log to help troubleshoot problems.

Okay thank you, I try it monday and I tell if it work !

[A Former User]

Hello again !

I try to change filename in dhcpd.conf and while the boot i have this message :

[B][I] TFTP.[/I][/B]
[B][I] PXE-T01: file not found[/I][/B]
[B][I] PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File not found[/I][/B]
[B][I] PXE-M0F : Exiting PXE ROM[/I][/B]

My database it’s okay ;), the server works with other computer, but just with Lenovo.

Thanks for your help!

[Wayne Workman]

Please post your dhcpd.conf file here so we can take a look at it.

Also, look inside your /tftpboot directory and verify that the file is actually there.

Also, what is the model of the problem Lenovo?
