Fatal Error, unable to find size data out on

I’m not going to spell out everything on the file extensions, there’s a wiki page for that here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=IPXE#What_are_the_differences_between_the_different_PXE_files.3F

As far as I understand it, the iPXE files already do what your pxelinux.0 default file is doing. It’s just using a different mechanism to provide (more or less) the same level of functionality.

I’d recommend starting with the ipxe.pxe, but if all of your devices (beyond these systems) are having issues, I’d recommend trying the undionly.kkpxe file. This doesn’t mean your ProBooks will continue to work, but this can be remediated using DHCP user/vendor classes. You can direct systems at which file to use (this works with any file for that matter.)

@Tom-Elliott
For the moment here is the tests i made :

I use ipxe.pxe

Then for the “ProBook” Computer i always have this message :

Warning using legacy NIC wrapper on 00:00:00:00:00:00
Configuring NET0 00:00:00:00:00:00
error 040ee119
Configuring NET1 98:e7:f4:e8:2b:bd
...

But the computer is well registered, than i can say that it works

For the computers with realtek nic it boot fine also.

Then i keep use ipxe.pxe for the moment and not “undionly.kpxe” (problem with realtek nic)

I continue my tests.
thanks again for your help

@plegrand Would it be safe, for now, to solve the thread?

I ran into a similar issue with HP ProBook 645 G2 and the fix for us was to use the ipxe.pxe file as well.

I also saw the “net 0 [00:00:00:00:00:00]” messages, but I think this is the nic’s Bluetooth adapter only translated off the nic with an invalid mac address as there’s nothing for it to connect to.

@Tom-Elliott
i think also is the bluetooth adapter

The thread is solved for me except “Fatal Error, unable to find size data out on”
But i think this problem come from the original partitionning (new HP computer with a lot of partition)
I have to reinstall it with the good number of partition.
As we saw that before i think it will solve the problem ?

Big, enormous thanks again for Fog and your precious help .

Tom Elliott

I think so too, but yours is definitely not the first of this issue being reported. When I get home tonight (I’m on EST) i will test an upload just to ensure all is well. If I find any issues with the init’s I’ll try fixing and posting info on them. Thanks for your time too.

@Tom-Elliott
Hello
do you want i solve this thread ?

Tom Elliott

@plegrand I can solve it, just wanted to make sure it was “okay” to do so.

@Tom-Elliott i 'm making a lot of tests with my new configuration (ipxe) and it seems everything works fine except : Warning using legacy NIC wrapper on 00:00:00:00:00:00 message.
Then everything it’s ok !!

Just for information here is my new menu for ipxe (default.ipxe)

@plegrand The first nic weirdness is expected as I said. Using ipxe.pxe should work, and as you and I both suspect I still think it’s the bluetooth part. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s something your or I can fix. As long as all still ‘works’ after that point, you should be fine though.

“we have a lot of this probook’s 650 G2 and they are working fine for me.”

Just to be sure :

you havent this message :
Warning using legacy NIC wrapper on 00:00:00:00:00:00

Are you using ipxe.pxe or undionly.kpxe ?
If you use “undionly.kpxe”, have you got problem with computer with Realtek RTL8168D/8111D NIC

Thanks for your answer
