      I have new Lenovo 11e’s that wont go any further than where it says “Menu” on the iPXE boot. I did some research and tried manipulating my switches with STP portfast and I plugged into the same switch that my server is located to eliminate any other networking issues.

      This is on my ports in the switch…
      spanning-tree portfast
      spanning-tree bpduguard enable

      I tried updating my undionly.kpxe file, but that didnt work.

      All my other laptops (lenovo, dell,) are working fine and never have been an issue. Legacy is enable and I disable UEFI.

      Any ideas?

      Thanks!image1.JPG

      ** I am running FOG 1.2.0 and the latest kernel

        Can you try undionly.kkpxe instead?

          How do I tell it to do that? Do I just replace it like I did the other one and the laptop will pick it up, or do I have to change something on the server to force it to use that?

          Thanks for the quick reply!

            @GFm For most people, it’s a DHCP setting.

            What is running DHCP in your environment? That’s where you’d change it. It’s DHCP scope option 067

                I tried it and it just hangs on Initializing devices… It went past that Menu part quickly, but just hangs after.

                Any other ideas?

                Thanks

                  If it’s getting “past the menu too fast” my guess is your system is getting a Console display error. This has been fixed in the Dev (trunk) versions of FOG, but can be relatively easily fixed in 1.2.0. Simply open the /var/www/fog/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php file and find the lines that contain the phrase console. Comment them out with: //.

                    @GFm Or alternatively, upgrade to the dev version: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk

                      The only place I see the word Console is this…

                      $this->kernel = “kernel $bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=$ramsize ip=dhcp dns=$dns keymap=$keymap web=${webserver}${webroot} consoleblank=0”;

                      I commented this out and it didnt fix anything.

                      I guess I didnt realize “initialising devices” is before the menu part. To be clear, when I use the normal undionly.kpxe it gets to the menu and does go anywhere. When I use the undionly.kkpxe it gets only to the initialising devices.

                      Do you suggest I upgrade, or is there some other stuff I can still try?

                      Thanks!

                        vim does an excellent job at color-coding strings that you search for.

                        Install vim, open the file,

                        type a forward slash (to say you wanna search for the following string) then type “console” and then press enter.

                        So, like this:

                        sudo apt-get install -y vim
                        sudo vim /var/www/fog/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php
                        /console  [enter]
                        

                        Then use the page up/down keys to quickly look through the file for the color-highlighed word “console”

                          Thanks for the info. I can try that next time. I used gedit and searched for “console.”

                          Since this didn’t work, I guess I’ll give it a try to update to the dev version. I’ll let you know how I end up.

                          Thanks again!

                            @Wayne-Workman I tried updating, but it keeps erroring out on the php5-mcrypt.

                            Installing package: php5-mcrypt…Failed!

                            I am running Ubuntu 13.10. I tried installing it manually via apt-get, but that failed too.

                            Any ideas?

                            Thanks!

                              @GFm Try to update your system first.

                              apt-get update
                              apt-get upgrade

                                    http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/13.10/

                                    Can you change your sources to link to old-releases instead of us.archive and security?

                                    This should be able to be changed with a sudo command of:

                                    cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/source.list.original_fog #backs up original just in case
                                    sed -i -e 's/\/\/*archive.ubuntu.com\|\/\/*security.ubuntu.com/\/\/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list

                                        Not everything has changed to old-releases.

                                        Can you hit me up on chat, we could teamviewer maybe if you’re able to.

                                          @Tom-Elliott My lenovo 11e still hangs whether I use the undionly.kkpxe or kpxe. the kkpxe hangs on initializing devices and the kpxe hands on the part where it said menu (now it says Menu PXEXT). Any ideas?

                                          Thanks!

                                          FYI anyone looking at this, Tom helped get me updated to the latest dev version.

                                            I have built the ipxe files with debug options turned on. This may give more insight into what is going on.
