PXE boot fails on fresh install - CentOS 7 (Build 7218)

[moses]

Set up FOG according the wiki for CentOS 7, fired up a test client and get a kernel panic when trying to register it (or any other option in the menu that requires bzImage).

According to this post, it’s an issue with the kernel architecture mismatch. Sure enough, I appear to be missing the x64 kernel. I attempt to update the kernel thru the web GUI, but get this message:

Then I’m lead down another rabbit hole to troubleshoot FTP. Long story short, there ain’t nothing wrong with FTP. Recent posts regarding this problem say to download the kernels manually using the script from here.

Hooray, new kernels! Woopee!

Except they don’t work:

I get the same error on 3 different machines, so I’m fairly sure it’s not a bad NIC or something of that nature.

Any other ideas before throw in the towel?

Edit: As of this original post I’m on the latest version.

@moses the installation/update process should not have even completed if the kernels and inits were not downloaded, or not downloaded correctly. The files downloaded are checksummed and that checksum is compared with what the value should be. If it fails the check, the installer fails right there. Are you sure you totally finished the installation?

If you go into the fogproject/bin/error_log directory on your server, you should see an error log with the name fog_error_7218.log It would be very helpful to know what the last few lines in this file says.

Can you post the output of this command please? I want to compare file sizes on your system and mine.
ls -la /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe

Here is the output from my home system - I just updated to r7218 as well.

Here’s the installer log (I did udpate to 7230 this morning, still seeing the kernel panic):

@moses The kernel and init files seem fine (file size, ownership and such). Can you please try using a different ipxe binary - I know this sounds totally unrelated on first sight but if I remember correctly we have seen this kind of kernel panics on some machines when using the default undionly.kpxe. Please try undionly.kkpxe (note the double ‘k’) or even ipxe.pxe/ipxe.kpxe…

[moses]

@Sebastian-Roth Actually in giving me that suggestion, I found the issue. I have a Tomato router that I use for DHCP, and I misread the Wiki when it shows how to set up that for PXE. I used the wrong boot file:

dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0,,192.168.1.201

Where it should have been:

dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,,192.168.1.201

Made that change, and bingo.

Thanks all for your help!

Also - original problem with the Kernel Update feature is not solved yet.

Absolutely! Should look into this when I have time! As well I am wondering if we should get rid of pxelinux.0 in FOG trunk as this has happened a couple of times in the last months ( @Tom-Elliott?)

[Sebastian Roth]

@moses Tom just pushed a fix a couple of minutes ago… Can you please update and see!

[moses]

@Sebastian-Roth @Tom-Elliot That update did the trick to fix the kernel update. Thanks!
