IPXE-chain load-timeout
-
First and foremost I’m using VirtualBox for all machines mentioned in this thread. The issue I’m having is that iPXE.png
-
Compiling your own rom allows you to embed scripting for things like chainloading.
Additionally the ipxe.iso provided by ipxe.org does not support the [B]colour [/B]command which will cause the boot.php to fail
-
Why do you need to compile you’re own rom ?
-
Removing bg.png allowed the menu appear but upon selecting Quick Registration the bzImage32 hung around 78%. Really feels like my compile options on rom-o-matic.eu are simply off. Anyone else use this website?
-
Yes I’m able to view the graphic from within the CaptureInsideFogNetwork.PNG
-
not from smoothwall, but from the 192.168.100.125/fog/service/ipxe/bg.png
-
Absolutely I can. Spun up a SliTaz VM hit the URL to see the PNG and viola…
The timeout issue is specific to an iPXE host Capture.PNG
-
Can you actually access and see the image if you go to the url it’s timing out on?
-
No, but it’s farther along that my initial attempt. At first it was hanging on the boot file, which has since been resolved.
The fact that it makes it through the firewall, parses the boot.php file fine and times out on loading bg.png led me to believe that the iPXE iso I generated from rom-o-matic.eu did not support png. I went through again and verified and it’s still getting stuck on passing the bg.png file. Perhaps the timeout setting is too low. If so I don’t know where to change it. I know it’s not the FOG_PXE_MENU_TIMEOUT setting as I’ve changed that with no effect. Any ideas?
-
Has it ever worked?
