PXE-E32 error, unable to boot to fog from pxe

[george1421]

@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.ipxe and 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…

[george1421]

@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?

[Tom Elliott]

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).

[Wayne Workman]

@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.

[george1421]

@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.

[Tom Elliott]

@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.

[K.Hays]

@george1421 the owner is fog.root but how do i check the access level?

Good catch, George. It is supposed to have an address before it.

ls -la will do that for you. it should be -rw-r--r-- 1 fog root

But as Tom said you would be better off upgrading to the trunk. Don’t let the not stable term scare you off.

[Tom Elliott]

@Wayne-Workman No it’s not, not if the user is using FOG 1.2.0.

[K.Hays]

@george1421 ill do whatever to fix the issue at hand. If you think updating it to trunk will do that, then so be it

I don’t want to lead you on that it will for sure fix your issue. But you will then have a consistent build that we can support. While the 1.2.0 build is still supported I don’t have a 1.2.0 stable system any more to compare your system against. That is the case with most of the Mods here. I have been running the trunk build for almost a year now. My memory of 1.2.0 stable is getting pretty weak these days.

[K.Hays]

@george1421 ok so how would i upgrade to trunk then? preferably without losing my current configs.

If course make sure you have a solid backup of your FOG server and then follow this post https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk

Just for clarity, you made reference to having an older version of FOG installed at your site. What version was that? If it was before 1.2.0 it may be a better idea to spin up a new FOG server instead of upgrading.
