FOG not PXE boot anymore
-
I am running FOG 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 13.10. I previously was able to capture and image and deploy one. That was about 2 months ago.
I tried to PXE boot today, and the client gets an IP address, and it starts initializing, but then something pops up really fast, so fast that I cannot pause the screen fast enough with an error that says:
Unable to download…unsupported
Then it exits the PXE screen.

@Hunter-Bonner Hi, If your installation is the same than about 2 month, I think that is not a FOG problem
Is there a new network configuration or DHCP ? -
well, our DNS servers changed. also DHCP. But again, it’s showing that it’s getting an IP address when it first begins the PXE.
-
@Hunter-Bonner What are your 66/67 dhcp options ?
-
@ch3i Sorry I do not know what you mean. I’m a total n00b to FOG.

To boot your clients on PXE, you need :
- An IP >> it’s OK
- A DHCP option that specified the TFTP server (option 66) : the ip of the server >> NOK
- A DHCP option that specified the boot file (option 67) : pxelinux.0 >> NOK
-
@ch3i How do you verify these options? I mean is this something I should be able to access from the web portal or the server directly and if so where exactly?
What I do know is that I went through the entire setup and did give my server a fixed IP. I’ve PXE booted before and deployed and captured images, but now all of a sudden I cannot.

It’s likely you just need to set 066 and 067 in your DHCP Scope Options, as ch3i said.
This is done on your Windows DHCP server, under your scope options.

@ch3i I remember setting this up, but I just checked again. It’s setup correctly.

Is it possible for you to take a short video of the error you’re seeing? Upload to youtube and post here?
-
@Hunter-Bonner Could you try to connect the FOG server over TFTP, using WinSCP maybe
-
You could also go through this:

@Wayne-Workman did that one earlier. Enabled…still not working.

@Hunter-Bonner You have a http error access, could you try to access that url with a web browser ?
-
@ch3i what URL? I cannot even see it. And are you wanting me to try and access it from the client?
