SVN 5195 not booting correctly via ipxe
-
I have two questions for you:
- Do you have the kernel’s installed in the right path?
- Is this the first time you upgraded from 1.2.0 to a SVN trunk release?
The reason why I ask, I had an issue where the fog server was behind a proxy server and I applied the svn trunk update almost everything installed fine except the new fog client wouldn’t download and I couldn’t pxe boot because the boot images were missing. I found the issue that the svn installer uses curl to get the fog client and boot image files but since curl didn’t know about the proxy server settings it would just fail to get them. I had to set the environment variables to point to the proxy server then everything worked OK.
(edit) The boot files need to be in this path: /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe and the file names are bzImage and init.xz. If they are missing FOG will display the boot menu but if you select anything the target computer will just restart (/edit)

Yes kernels are installed correctly…I’ve been running svn for about 5 months now
-
Looks like the kernels weren’t available for download when I ran the installer
-
Ok so they are not installed in the path I posted? You can pick them up from the sourceforge site or just rerun the installer again.
-
Files are there, but ipxe refuses to go on
-
I guess I’ll have to defer to the developers on this one, sorry. This is a bit beyond what I know.
-
I have a hidden menu, and it isn’t allowing me to enter login, just boots to windows
-
Ipxe error is per the following link…
-
@Hanz Can you give us a picture of the error? Sometimes the surrounding things can give clues.
-
Our network is not running very well…Thanks Frontier…or svn 5199 fixed the issue
-
Solving this. My guess is the kernel images were missing and got downloaded properly when updating to 5199. Let us know if you see the issue again.
-
The issue was me. I had added a bad header flag. The header itself was fine, but apparently iPXE does NOT like it.

Thanks for clarifiying!
