FOG iPXE USB Boot Stick
-
Hello,
i am trying to build an USB Stick to boot into FOG. We have two FOG instances, one is the productive one ( 1.2.0 ) and the other is the testing one ( 1.3.1 RC ). Both servers have diffrent IPs and just the productive one has the next-server set in the DHCP. So the problem is i cann not reach the testing server. I thought i could make a stick with says " hey pc, please just go to this next-server and start from there" - so i will boot the USB Stick wich says where the FOG server is and not via DHCP
I found this in the wiki:
with is nearly what i need ( i think so ) - so i built this image and install it on an USB stick but i am unable to boot.
I tried the last method with gPXE because i do not need UEFI.
In my opinion the image- path could be the problem because gPXE can not find it ( No such file or directoy )
As far i know i have to boot to http://FOGIP/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php
but like here with the chain “chain http://example.com/pxelinux.0” it is not working.
Any ideas, or better options, where could be the problem?
Thank you!

i just found this
but is it from 2015 - and with http://${nextserver}/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}
i just get the same error " no such file or directory " -
okay - i think i found a solution
this script is working for me
#!ipxe dhcp set next-server 134.155.131.215 set filename undionly.kpxe chain tftp://${next-server}/${filename}``` -
okay, not really solved - i tried it in another subnet without dhcp next-server and it worked.
in the same subnet where the dhcp next-server is set, there is an infinite loop of iPXE starting, but not booting into FOG -
found this post from @cml and tried the image from there!
