That thread looks to be of a very similar issue. Although this was a fresh 1.2 install, rather than an upgrade.

The NIC is the same in this pc, it’s a HP machine, with a Realtek GBE FE card onboard. I have other machines (different brand) with the same card (or at least, the same model number) that boot perfectly.

I’ve just tried another identical machine, and it’s got the same issue, so it’s fault with that model of card, and not just this physical card specifically.

I’m all but a but stumped on this.

Thanks for the help so far.

Thanks for the replies guys, in answer to some questions:

Wayne: Option 66&67 in windows dhcp as per the book. No other policies in place.

Frank: The hardware is different in this one, none others the same on this site. I’ve tried different ports on the switch, different switches etc. I’ve got some 80 pc’s registered in fog from different points in the organisation, many booting fine from the cisco switch that it’s plugged into. Spanning-tree portfast is enabled, as is bpdu guard etc etc. My laptop boots to fog just fine in the same port if that helps anything?

Attached is the tcp dump results.file_not_found.pcap

Thanks for the help so far.

Just tried the realtek one, same error, please see photo attached. Other machines boot fine, this one has network access when booted, is plugged in to the same switch too.

Thanks

Ben

Reasonably new install of fog here, it’s fine with most machines and still works as normal. However, a certain HP tower with a realtek gbe onboard network card is starting to get on my wick. When booting, I simply get a file not found error. It works fine on other machines, so I’m a bit reluctant to start changing things.

Is there anything obvious that I should be looking at?

Thanks in advance. Ben
