Windows 10 UEFI PC opens from fog server but boots into Windows instead PXE

Sebastian Roth

@hariskar As already mentioned, read this: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence

undionly.kpxe is not for UEFI!

hariskar

So, since I use a router with dd-wrt firmware as a proxy with DNSMasq I understand that In the page you mention https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Using_ProxyDHCP_.28dnsmasq.29 this is what I should read. So

dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,x.x.x.x
which I till now had for my 2 windows xp bios pcs
becomes:

dhcp-match=set:efi64,60,PXEClient:grafeio2
dhcp-option-force=tag:efi64,66,x.x.x.x # TFTP/FOG server ip
dhcp-option-force=tag:efi64,67,“realtek.efi”
dhcp-boot=realtek.efi,x.x.x.x
dhcp-match=set:bios,60,PXEClient:ergastirio
dhcp-option-force=tag:bios,66,x.x.x.x # TFTP/FOG server ip
dhcp-option-force=tag:bios,67,“undionly.kpxe”
dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,x.x.x.x

for 1 windows xp (bios) and 1 windows 10 64 (uefi)??

Thank you!

Sebastian Roth

@hariskar No, you don’t need the ‘dhcp-boot=’ option. As well you should not modify the ‘dhcp-match’ config line! Use those 12 lines exactly as they are noted in the wiki article. Just put your FOG IP instead of x.x.x.x… that’s it!

and it boots into windows

@hariskar said:

NBP filesize is 0 Bytes

Why is filesize zero?? Please try to download the file via TFTP by hand: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_TFTP#Testing_TFTP

hariskar

Sebastian Roth

@hariskar Have you tried the file ‘ipxe.efi’ via the command line client as well ???
I just updated the wiki page to use binary mode instead of netascii:

tftp -v 192.168.1.5 -m binary -c get ipxe.efi

Have all the iPXE binaries been properly installed? Check with ls -al /tftpboot on the FOG server!

hariskar

In my previous post I made the attempt to get undionly.kpxe from fog server. Here is the correct attempt:

C:\Users\hk>tftp -i 192.168.1.5 get undionly.kpxe
Transfer successful: 92104 bytes in 1 second(s), 92104 bytes/s

C:\Users\hk>

tftp -v 192.168.1.5 -m binary -c get ipxe.efi

How can I do it from windows console?

Thank you!!

@hariskar Ahhh, now I see. Your client seams to be a 32 bit machine. But your 32 bit ipxe.efi binary is missing!

cd /tftpboot
sudo mkdir i386-efi
sudo wget -O i386-efi/ipxe.efi "https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/dev-branch/packages/tftp/i386-efi/ipxe.efi?raw=true"
sudo chown fog i386-efi

Then try booting the win10 UEFI client again and see if it works. The missing 32 bit UEFI binary is something Tom and I fixed in the installer just a few days ago. So if you update to the latest version this would be fixed as well. But with the above mentioned commands you can do this yourself very easily.

hariskar

I will try it.

Also my Windows 10 are 64bit.

What about

PXE-E32 TFTP open timeout

in the BIOS windows xp PC? It started when I put the 12 lines in DNSMasq.
With

dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,x.x.x.x

it was OK.
Maybe there is a connection between the 2 issues of the 2 PCs?

Thank you!

I made a clean installation of latest trunk.

@hariskar I think you need to get a packet dump of this so we really know what’s going on. Up to now this was just a lot of guessing which seams to lead nowhere!

Please have you dnsmasq setup with the 12 lines as suggested. Check to see if the ipxe UEFI binaries are in place. On the FOG server: ls -al /tftpboot/ipxe.efi /tftpboot/i386-efi/ipxe.efi and as well try loading those from your windows client: tftp -i 192.168.1.5 get ipxe.efi and tftp -i 192.168.1.5 get i386-efi/ipxe.efi.
If this all seams fine please install and run tcpdump on your FOG server sudo apt-get install tcpdump && sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w tftp_issue.pcap udp (leave that command waiting, start up your client till you see the timeout, then stop tcpdmp with Ctrl+c and upload the tftp_issue.pcap file to the forum so we can have a look)

@hariskar Thanks a lot for the PCAP file!!! I knew that dnsmasq is not very flexible but unfortunately this is another example. The matches and options do work but still dnsmasq is sending 192.168.1.1 in the DHCP header next-server field (so option 67 is pointing to 192.168.1.5 but next-server field is pointing to 192.168.1.1). Turns out that I only tested the dnsmasq config when running it on the same host where the TFTP server is running as well… So I didn’t notice.

But it seams to work with ‘dhcp-boot’ option as well - at least when I just tested here on my debian machine (only tested BIOS and 64 bit UEFI so far). Maybe this depends on dnsmasq version and does not work for others. So please give it a try:

dhcp-match=set:bios,60,PXEClient:Arch:00000
dhcp-boot=tag:bios,undionly.kpxe,192.168.1.5,192.168.1.5

dhcp-match=set:efi32,60,PXEClient:Arch:00006
dhcp-boot=tag:efi32,i386-efi/ipxe.efi,192.168.1.5,192.168.1.5

dhcp-match=set:efibc,60,PXEClient:Arch:00007
dhcp-boot=tag:efibc,ipxe.efi,192.168.1.5,192.168.1.5

dhcp-match=set:efi64,60,PXEClient:Arch:00009
dhcp-boot=tag:efi64,ipxe.efi,192.168.1.5,192.168.1.5

I am pretty sure I tested the ‘dhcp-boot’ option back when I added it to the wiki article. Either it didn’t work or I didn’t like it for some reason. Can’t remember. Please let us know if this is working for you and I will add this to the wiki!

Wayne Workman

@Sebastian-Roth Is that for proxy mode or non-proxy mode?

hariskar

Thank you Sebastian!
There is big progress! :

I opened both (UEFI, BIOS) PCs and got into PXE menu in both PCs. I successfully fully registered them both. With Host EFI Exit Type=REFIND_EFI UEFI PC goes into windows after PXE exit. BIOS PC goes into windows after PXE exit without putting something in Host Bios Exit Type.

But there is still some problem: fog can not boot both PCs. Scheduled or instant tasks don’t start. Time is correct, I put local time in General Settings, I restarted fog scheduler with

sudo service FOGScheduler restart

but nothing happens.
Thank you again!

Quazz

@Wayne-Workman If I’m not mistaken matching doesn’t work in proxy mode (meaning BIOS + UEFI compatibility is not possible in dnsmasq)

Wayne Workman

@Quazz I know, just was wanting to check if that fact has changed. Sebastian is always up to something.

Tom Elliott

@hariskar what’s the error you’re seeing with instant tasks? What about for scheduled tasks? Do they say there were started okay?
