Boot from SAN device failed

No the other are older PCs with Win XP. I just mentioned them for you to know that I have done this procedure again.

Thank you Ch3i.

@hariskar Do you use undionly.kpxe for iPXE ? in your DHCP option 67.

[hariskar]

Yes, I use in Tomato DHCP / DNS Server (LAN) settings: dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,192.168.1.6

Could you try the kkpxe ?

[hariskar]

With dhcp-boot=undionly.kkpxe,192.168.1.6 the result was the same.

[ch3i]

@hariskar The error if after you get an IP ?

[hariskar]

Sorry, I did not understand what to do, where should I look this?
After the error Boot from SAN device 0X80 failed: Operation cancelled (http://ipxe.org/0b8080a0) the PC stacks and the only think I can do is reboot and boot with Windows boot loader.

[ch3i]

@hariskar In your server, in /tftpboot you have some ipxe files, can you return me the command :

ls -l /tftpboot

[ch3i]

@hariskar I think the simple way to solve your problem is update your server to SVN version : https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN

You can try the undionly.kpxe.INTEL

[hariskar]

With dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe.INTEL,192.168.1.6 the result is the same…

[ch3i]

@hariskar Please try SVN if it’s possible for you (it’s “stable”)

[hariskar]

I made a clean installation of 3480 and with dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe I registered the new PC and I can network-boot it. Now I have a new BIOS related problem I guess.
With boot option:

1. Windows
   2…

it boots normaly to WIndows

But with:

1.Network Boot
2. Windows

it boots to PXE, but when I cancel it with Esc it does not goes to option 2 and boot Windows but it stacks and tells me to reboot and choose a correct boot disk etc…

[ch3i]

@hariskar You can change your exit to hard drive type like that : https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5028/pxe-boot-in-previous-environemnt/4

[hariskar]

Thank you.
I changed Exit to Hard Drive Type to 'Exit style" and after Exc it goes again to PXE boot.
Then I changed it to “Grub style” and with Esc it stacks to reboot and choose a correct boot medium. I didn’t put anything in Advanced Configuration Options because I don’t know what.

I did not have this problem with the other PCs, after Esc it continued to boot with Option 2 (Windows)

That information doesn’t really help us.
@ch3i was asking for the model, not the specifications. This is the numbers on the front of the PC, or the back of the PC.

We have lists of working and non-working hardware that we normally check when we find out the model. Those lists are here:

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/ProblematicDevices

[hariskar]

It is a desktop PC made from different parts.
The motherboard is: Gigabyte Z97P-D3 with firmware F7. What else would be useful?
Do you think it is incompatible?
