Host PXE boot issues

[josh.martin]

I am able to get my hosts to PXE boot and they all are seeing my fog server just fine. However, they get stuck in a loop and never actually boot up to the fog GUI. Any help would be greatly appreciate as i have already went through all the wiki articles i could find related to this and tried to confirm all my settings/ permissions/ credentials we all correct.

Well I can tell the error “SQL:: command” not found is not a good sign.

What version of fog are you running?
What linx OS distribution and version are you running on the FOG server.

From what I can see in the picture the pxe booting process is OK, its something in the FOG server communicating with the SQL server database (guess).

Seems to maybe a bug in r7729 and older(??)
update: From the other thread r7727 is said to work. @Developers

I am on Trunk build 7729 and yes i was about to say a few other people seem to be experiencing this same issue as i look through posts on here.

Ubuntu 14

Checked all my sql settings and can login successfully with the same credentials that the web interface has stored.

@josh.martin Does this issue impact production? If it does there may be a way to roll back the changes (i.e. reinstall 7727 from the other thread). If it doesn’t impact production then lets let the developers see what changed between the two revisions.

It is currently impacting production.
Where can i find some instructions on down grading or am i supposed to do the upgrade process to a specific version?

[george1421]

@josh.martin Sorry I got side tracked on another issue.

Just to be clear, when I said impacting production this is something that can’t wait for a few hours until the devs check in, right?

Two things, what did you use to download the trunk git or svn
Second if this is on a vm do you have a way to snapshot it so if this breaks (always a possibility) we can return it to a known configuration? Because rolling back changes is not always supported.

@Arrowhead-IT Thanks, I’ve been cross linking the similar threads back to https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7490/boot-loop just so we have one place for the devs to look. When they resolve the boot-loop issue it should address the others too.

@george1421

I could in theory wait, but for future knowledge i wouldn’t mind knowing how to do this in the event i need to do it promptly.

Yes this is a VM so i already have taken a snapshot today in case something like this needed to happen.

Confirmed working now on build 7733. Thanks for the quick fix Tom!
