Quick or Full Host Registration fails - screen goes black

@kinger37 said in Quick or Full Host Registration fails - screen goes black:
@TOM ELLIOTT On my first time booting into FOG PXE menu I receive the chainloading error, but after rebooting and going back in - it doesnt show up again.
I have to say I saw that at random when I was testing too. I was doing 3 things at a time and just thought I missed something when I turned back. The time I actually watched the booting process it booted normally. So there may be a timing issue that is just on the edge of working. It will be interesting to know your production experience with this configuration.

How many hosts are there in your environment both of you?
I don’t think it’s timing but kind of is. If there were an error in code it would show up everytime for all machines. It would not show up randomly on even the same machine. Just a guess but I believe what you guys are seeing is inability to connect to the database due to meeting max connection limits of db and/or Apache max limits.

@Tom-Elliott In my case it was on the dev box so only 2 or 3 systems were connected. Unfortunately I did not see what the error was only when I turned around I saw the chain loading error. I rebooted it without turning it off and watched it and the iPXE menu came up. Could have been a fluke or the update to the latest trunk today, or booting these 7040s in efi mode. I don’t do efi on any system in our production environment so I can’t comments other than I saw the results of the error twice during iPXE booting.

Do you see the same thing if booting in legacy mode? I’m going to guess a network uplink bug may be present and can’t load up the nic to enable it to get to network. This means it can’t boot to find the menu and subsequently gets an error returned causing it to fail. I wonder if this only happens on these systems from cold boot status?

@Tom-Elliott I still have my test system setup. I’ll try different combinations in the morning to see if I can get it to fail while I’m watching it.

@Tom-Elliott Sorry for the delay - I am on an isolated network for my FOG Server - so right now only 3 machines in the FOG environment.
