    • RE: Hyper V and Pxe boot to Fog problems

      @sebastian-roth I appreciate your help, and that does answer my question. For the record, though, the problem remains. Building from source using the fog provided (GitHub dev-branch pulled) console.h, general.h, and settings.h gives the same failure in hyper-v. Building from source, and only including ipxescript (not replacing the 3 files above) results in a undionly.kpxe that does work past initializing devices in hyper-v. I’m going through each option now to try to narrow it down as it seems now something in the config is what is tripping up hyper-v.

      Edit: Modified the default ipxe general.h file to include param_cmd, and changed nothing else. Completed downloading an image to my vm on hyper-v. Unsure what I broke in the process, as there are a lot of switches I’m missing, but I can confirm this works on my setup.

    • RE: Multicast fails at "Attempting to check in " SVN 6303

      Same issue with brand new setup on Debian 8.3, svn 6287. Any ideas? Everything works except multicasting.

    • RE: Hyper V and Pxe boot to Fog problems

      After going though the differences one by one, I have narrowed it down to three switches that will cause the hang in hyper-v.
      #define DOWNLOAD_PROTO_HTTPS
      #define IMAGE_TRUST_CMD
      #define CERT_CMD
      Comment out those lines from the general.h (I used the files from dev-branch on GitHub, if they differ from master, then that might cause additional issues, didn’t check) and the current build (47849) of ipxe works in hyper-v. Would probably fix older versions too, but I don’t see any reason to downgrade as everything is working so far. Unsure how these are even affecting hyper-v at such an early state, but all I know is mine works with no other changes than that. Hope this helps someone make sense of this issue, or at least get around this if they are affected. Again, thanks for everyone’s help with this.

    • RE: Hyper-V virtual machine image hanging at init.xz... ok

      @Sebastian-Roth Not saying this isn’t related to the issue I had previously, however, the issues I had caused the image to stall at ipxe initializing devices. Sounds like @holydonut is making it past that to stall at init.xz. This a bootfile issue? @holydonut are you sure you are uefi network booting other machines to fog?

      @Sebastian-Roth Sorry, I completely forgot about this. Just updated to latest kernel on my server and tested on 1803, worked perfect. Thanks for the update.

      @sebastian-roth Here is the output from a working vm:

      I’m no programmer so you’re way over my head here haha Output seemed the same as before on the non-working one

    • RE: Hyper V and Pxe boot to Fog problems

      @sebastian-roth Finally got it to work. Unsure if something is wrong on my side but I had to delete the sleep line to get it to compile properly. As a result, my images are dim since I had to pause the VMs to get screenshots.
      Working:

    • RE: Hyper V and Pxe boot to Fog problems

      @lukebarone Found on the wiki. Only difference here is open general.h after downloading and change #define to #undefine for these lines:
      #define DOWNLOAD_PROTO_HTTPS
      #define IMAGE_TRUST_CMD
      #define CERT_CMD
      These lines aren’t consecutive in the file so you’ll have to look for each.

    • RE: Hyper V and Pxe boot to Fog problems

      @sebastian-roth Sorry I must have missed your last comment originally. Compiling with any one of those three lines (even just the https line) causes it to fail. I didn’t see any difference using the debug command to compile it. Honestly, not sure what I should be looking for with that though.

      Also, I did submit this to the ipxe forums, who responded that this was a Microsoft issue. While I did also submit this in the feedback app in windows 10, I’m not holding my breath for Microsoft to do anything about this.

    • RE: Hyper V and Pxe boot to Fog problems

      @sudburr Yes, as George said, we are building images on windows 10 (now 1709). We don’t currently have a server running server 2016 so I am unsure if it would behave any differently. I assume if server 2016 is not already affected by the same issue, it will be soon, but this could be helpful to some to know for sure.

    • RE: Hyper V and Pxe boot to Fog problems

      @george1421 We are BIOS booting these, I didn’t think secure boot should have a hand in it, but it sure doesn’t work with these switches, and strangely I believe the UEFI image works fine with a gen 2 1709 vm (at least with secure boot off.) We don’t use fog for our UEFI images yet so I’ve only tested it once. Only security related option I see in a gen 1 vm is for key storage drives, and we aren’t using that. Anyway, if there is anything you would like me to test for this, just let me know. Otherwise, it seems we are good to go.

      Edit: Rebooted to verify, Secure boot is off on the host I was testing on
