Solved BZImage...No such file or directory when trying to start an image

[Shannon Render]

When I try to start an image task or a quick image I always get the following error.

http://[IP_Address]/service/ipxe/bzImage
Could not boot: No such file or directory

These errors are coming from a Lenovo P50 laptop with a NVMe SSD hard drive. It’s a brand new model and have had nothing but trouble trying to get FOG to work with it.

I am currently running FOG git version 7613 but was currently running 1.2.0 stable.

@george1421 great thank you! I will continue to work on this 760 and not try to confuse them again! lol

[george1421]

@ryan.mckenzie Confirmed. No uefi. And confirmed that I can pxe boot into fog compatibility test without issue (FOG 1.3.4 stable)

[ryan.mckenzie]

@ryan.mckenzie ok I am an idiot my eyes are horrible it is a 760! Dammit I don’t have an image for a 760!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Sorry guys I apologize

[ryan.mckenzie]

@george1421 hmmm ok I cannot find the uefi setting in the bios
please confirm

[george1421]

@Tom-Elliott The 780 should not be uefi capable. The 390/790s were the first gen that supported uefi. I can grab a 780 and confirm if necessary.

[Tom Elliott]

@ryan.mckenzie Do you know if it’s booting via UEFI?

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Tom-Elliott ok gotcha

[Tom Elliott]

@ryan.mckenzie It’s not getting that far, so the “image” has 0.

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Tom-Elliott never had tried it before… Could my image be bad? Some other system admins i know recommended I try it

[Tom Elliott]

@ryan.mckenzie Did the 412 kernel work in the past?

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Tom-Elliott ok this is where I get stuck using the default kernel… It loads bzImage… ok
init.xz… ok

then it is stuck here. does not go any further, this is why I was trying a different kernel. Any ideas?

[Tom Elliott]

@ryan.mckenzie now try booting the machine and let the magic begin!

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Tom-Elliott ok removed

[Tom Elliott]

@ryan.mckenzie Remove the /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage412 from that host in the host kernel field

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Tom-Elliott

[Tom Elliott]

@ryan.mckenzie Then check the host in the host page.

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Tom-Elliott

[ryan.mckenzie]

@Tom-Elliott yes it works for other models with the default bzImage. I was trying to load this kernel 4.1.2 for an optiplex 780. only having trouble on this model of computers

[Tom Elliott]

@ryan.mckenzie So the problem is your host (Host->Edit->Host Kernel), (or possibly FOG Configuration Page->FOG Settings->TFTP Server->FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL is set incorrectly)?

Please change the “bzImage412” to be “bzImage”
