said in Lenovo Miix 700:
start to pxe says download MIB
Just reading between the lines here, specifically “start to pxe says download MIB”
My bet is not MIB but another 3 letter name that starts with an N like NBF (I can’t remember the exact name). If that is the case then this sysem is a uefi based computer. So we also need to know what do you have configured for dhcp option 67?

here is the photo of the error the

Running Version 1.3.0-RC-8
SVN Revision: 5949 -
Yes my dhcp option 67 is set and string value: undionly.kpxe

@arton This device is in UEFI mode, and requires a
.efiboot file. You’ll need to find one of fog’s .efi files that will work with this device. You can find a listing of possible files by running this command on your fog server:ls -lahRt /tftpboot | grep .efiHowever, most timesipxe.efiworks.You’ll probably also be interested in setting up BIOS and UEFI co-existence for your DHCP server so you can boot both BIOS and UEFI devices without having to change DHCP every-single-time. Instructions on this are here:

Hi here is what i get when i run that command on my fog server

Right the NBP indicates this is a uefi device. In this case you need to use a uefi compatible boot kernel. As a suggestion, change your dhcp option 67 to ipxe.efi. Then pxe boot the target computer again.
FWIW, the undionly.kpxe is for bios (legacy) devices.
Looking at your ls command, ipxe.efi doesn’t exist. This IS an issue. Please confirm that you have ipxe.efi as well as about 4 others in that /tftpboot directory.
-
that all what i have on tftpboot directory
-
@arton Well that’s not right for 1.3.0-rcX series. Did you upgrade this install from a previous release? This looks a bit like a FOG 0.30 tftp directory.
How did you install 1.3.0? I assume you downloaded the installer from git or svn, then did you run the installfog.sh script in the bin directory?
-
yes what i did fallow the command on the how to upgrade so they it sad to make a Dir under root name fog-project then run the download svn then i did run installfog.sh from that directory.
Now when i look under fogproject/packages/tftp/ I see
-
@arton that’s very strange why the tftpboot directory is that why. Your screen shot contains what I would expect in the /tftpboot dir
Did the fog installer run to completion? Please run the installfog script again. If you are using a Debian based Linux you will need sudo then installfog.sh.
-
thank you i did run the install again now the tftpboot has all the files now i getting different error here is the picture
-
@arton Did the installer complete?
-
yes it did finish completely
-
@arton What’s doing DHCP there? Did you follow the article I posted earlier? Do you hae PortFast enabled on your switch? Can you try to place a mini-switch between the computer and the building network?
-
i dont see any post about port fast on network
-
@arton Can you answer the other questions please?
-
yes i can put a mini switch between building network and pc i let y know the results
-
here is the error

@arton This last picture is what I might expect to see from pxe booting a bios (legacy) system with undionly.kpxe (not an uefi boot, it doesn’t matter but just trying to set the context). Is this the case? I’m still getting the impression that your install is broken.
What I want you to do next is to (with a web browser) key in http://192.168.15.187/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 and post the results here. Ideally this should display the FOG ipxe boot menu in its entirety (> 20 lines of stuff). If you get 3 or 4 lines and that is it, then we will need you to post (tail) the apache error log because something is broken.

The calls look good in the last picture, is the firewall on for the fog server? What OS is it running?
