PXE-E32 error, unable to boot to fog from pxe
-
So what we figured was we had to change all of our current ip pools to all point to the fog ip. Some were pulling the old fog server ip. I am now able to boot with pxe, but i get permission denied shortly after. Im still happy though, this is one step closer than i was a bit ago!

OK, we need to verify since you had a fog setup at one time. Lets make sure that you have undionly.kpxe listed for option 67 and not pelinux.0 or something else from the older deployment. I would also ensure (at least intially) that you the target computer and the fog server are in the same subnet. That will eliminate any cross subnet confusion.

@george1421 All of these settings and configs are correct.
-
@george1421 “/default.ipxe… Permission denied (http://ipxe.org/0212603c)”
That is the error I’m getting now when i try to pxe boot. It does in fact connect though to the fog server. -
@K.Hays Can you just boot a destkop on that subnet to windows please, disable the network connection, start a Wireshark capture for that network connection, and then enable the network connection. Let Wireshark run for 15 or so seconds and then stop it, and upload that file? It will contain the DHCP information we are looking for - and this is the fastest way to get it in your situation.

@Wayne-Workman Is this going to help with the new problem? the permission denied problem? I’m doing that now but I got past the PXE-E32 error now.
-
@K.Hays Well that’s a different error and maybe a different problem - but it could be due to many things.
Firstly, I’d verify that the file exists inside of /tftpboot. If it’s there, I’d then check it’s permissions. If permissions are good, I’d then open the file and make sure the IP address at the bottom is good.
However, a photo of the error would help a lot, it would contain a lot of information that would help us help you.
-
@K.Hays Can you confirm that you have a default.ipxe in the /tftpboot directory on the server. I do have to admit this is the first time I’ve seen a permision denied message here.
The owner of this file should be fog.root with the access level of 644
And then finally
cat default.ipxeand confirm that the chain at the end has the correct fog server IP address listed. -
@george1421 It could even be requesting it from the wrong IP…
-
@Wayne-Workman Yes I agree a screen shot of the error would help. That way we can read between the pixels as it were.

@K.Hays Have you tried updating to trunk?
-
First, all, this is 1.2.0 (Sorry it wasn’t asked before. And glancing over the posts, it wasn’t mentioned at all either).
-
@K.Hays Internal addressing is not available to the outside world and doesn’t harm anything to share. However I’d recommend not sharing external addressing.
-
@Wayne-Workman Isn’t there suppose to be text to the left of /default.ipxe? I just tried on my system and its too fast for me to catch.
-
@george1421 No, because it’s 1.2.0

Wow, how’d I miss asking that question. Well same on me.
-
@Tom-Elliott i have not tried updating to trunk, is that necessary?

It’s not necessary, but I think you’d benefit a great deal from it.
