@arton This device is in UEFI mode, and requires a .efi boot 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 .efi However, most times ipxe.efi works.

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

george1421

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.

arton

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?

arton

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

george1421

@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.

arton

thank you i did run the install again now the tftpboot has all the files now i getting different error here is the picture

Wayne Workman

@arton Did the installer complete?

arton

yes it did finish completely

Wayne Workman

@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?

arton

i dont see any post about port fast on network

Wayne Workman

@arton Can you answer the other questions please?

arton

yes i can put a mini switch between building network and pc i let y know the results

arton

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.

Wayne Workman

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

Server is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

@arton Just for clarity what were you trying to do when it created this menu? Were you trying to boot an unregistered device into the FOG iPXE menu or were you trying to deploy to this device?

The reason why I ask is that this menu isn’t complete. It has more lines than I expected but it isn’t what I expected. We may need to have the developers look at this.

I would have expected something like this based on the command I gave you

Since you are running ubuntu can you tail the apache error log. I think its called error.log.
One last question, was this system upgraded or did you install it new?

arton

both times i run a upgrade I’m creating a new server Ubuntu 16.04 and reinstall from scratch
