Fog problem with lenovo thinkcenter M73
-
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.

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.

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?

My problem with Lenovo thinkcenter M73, i can’t boot on fog with it… i have one dash and it’s all

this might do it:
[CODE]sudo wget ‐‐continue ‐‐timestamping https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/ipxe.efi -O /tftpboot/ipxe.efi[/CODE]
Otherwise, manually download the ipxe.efi file and put it into the /tftpboot directory.
The file is here:

Just tested this and it appears to work:
[CODE]sudo wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/ipxe.efi -O /tftpboot/ipxe.efi[/CODE] -

Right, but his ipxe.efi isn’t present inside /tftpboot
EDIT: lol, the model name is in the thread title. Duh.

Give ipxe.efi a try but I have a feeling that it will fail!! You better try to change the BIOS settings to legacy mode and use undionly.kpxe (see in the WorkingDevices list…)
