      Hi Tom,

      I work with the original poster and took over on this issue since he did not have the necessary rights to change the settings necessary. I took your advice and tried changing from the undionly.kpxe file, however, none of them would work. In fact the only way we could get the system to boot any further was to use the old pxelinux.0 but I get an unable to load configuration file error. Any advice on this issue?

        @swhite can you tell me what file or files you’ve tried?

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          Basically I tried everything under the tftpboot directory.

          ipxe.pxe
          default.ipxe
          ipxe.kkpxe
          ipxe.kpxe
          ipxe.krn
          ipxe.pxe
          snponly.efi
          undionly.kkpxe
          undionly.kpxe
          undionly.kpxe.INTEL
          undionly.pxe
          vesamenu.c32

            Can you confirm what you have configured for dhcp option 67 {boot-file}?

            Your booting process isn’t to the kernel yet, so that part is not relevant, the booting process is still in the iPXE kernel.

            Also can you tell me if these are uefi or bios configured systems?

              Yes I have option 67 set. All of my other machines work just fine with fog. Only the HP Compaq Pro 4300 are having issues.

                @swhite Right, but the question is, what is it currently set to, and what mode are these HP systems in? Since you are getting to the initializing devices I would assume you have selected the correct boot kernel.

                  I currently have it set to ipxe.pxe but I have tried all of the files listed below in my earlier post. I am not sure what you mean about what mode they are in unless you are asking if I am using the legacy boot options instead of UEFI. If so yes I am legacy booting. Also it is not getting past the iPXE Initializing Devices so I did not think I was at the point where the boot kernel would matter.

                    @swhite OK, these devices are in bios (legacy) mode and you are sending the full ipxe driver file.

                    It would be interesting to know what happens if you rename the ipxe.pxe file to something (as a test) and download the current ipxe.pxe file from this link from the trunk build: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/tree/dev-branch/packages/tftp only download the ipxe.pxe file and be sure to save your original file. This iPXE kernel is the latest and greatest, where the iPXE kernel from FOG 1.2.0 stable is over 2 years old. Understand this is just a test, but if it works, there is no reason to move back.

                    [edit] Just to be clear this is the iPXE boot kernel and not the actual FOG (FOS engine) kernel you can download from the sorceforge site.

                      @george1421 For clarity this HP system has a Broadcom BCM 57788 network adapter and since these are in bios (legacy) mode and not uefi. I would start with the following iPXE boot kernels in this order, which is the most common first and for troubled computers then the ipxe.pxe.

                      undionly.kpxe
                      undionly.kkpxe
                      ipxe.pxe

                        I renamed my file to ipxe.pxe.old and added the new one from the link provided. When I attempted to boot the computer it hung in the same spot. Just with a little more info on the screen.

                          @swhite Well nuts, we’ll have to get the devs involved then. They have a few debugging versions of the iPXE kernel that may give more insight in whats hanging.

                          @Developers we may need your assistance on this one.

                                        Hi Tom,
                                        I also have this problem.
                                        When booting the pxe in uefi I get this error message: no configuration methods succeced https://ipxe.org/err/040ee1
                                        I changed the ipxe.efi file to the latest one from ipxe.org (make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi )
                                        but the boot remains frozen after initialization

                                        thank you for answer

                                          @AndyB. Just so we know this is related. You are seeing this on a HP Compaq Pro 4300 SFF PC as well? If not then please open a new topic and post all your details there.
