@Sebastian-Roth After reverting the port back to auto and leaving port-fast enabled, registration and imaging was still successful.

Looks like port-fast was the fix.

@george1421 Ok, I think its 10ec:8136

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks! Setting static speed and enabling port-fast worked! I am now able to successfully register the host.

@Sebastian-Roth I will start looking into these things, but if a switch configuration was causing the issue, wouldn’t I have run into the problem before upgrading to trunk? Never had these issues occur on the normal version of fog.

Thanks!

@george1421 Ok, I think its 10ec:8136

@george1421 Ok here is the info I believe you are looking for:

Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101/2/6E PCI Express Fast/Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 07)

Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 8137

Kernel driver in use: r8169

@george1421 Yup!

[Thu Apr 14 root@fogclient /]# is what I am seeing. What commands did you want me to run?

I went ahead and ran lshw -short and ethernet controller listed is “RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet Controller”

@george1421 Ok that got me past “init.xz… ok”

However, I’m getting the “Sending discover…” message again. This is with the debug deploy task scheduled.

@george1421 hmmmm

idk if this will help, but when I run Kernel Update (after having fixed the credentials as per Wayne) it gets stuck on “Moving to TFTP server…”. If I close out of the operation and attempt to run Kernel Update again, I receive the “Type: 2, File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php, Line: 144, Message: ftp_put(/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage): failed to open stream: No such file or directory.” error. On the fog server, if i check /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe, “bzImage” is nowhere to be found. Note, it was present before attempting the kernel update. It’s as if the kernel update operation is just deleting the bzImage directory rather than actually updating it. I feel like these bizarre errors I’m getting when booting my client to fog and/or registering it as a host has got to be related to a bad kernel, or, after “updating”, a missing kernel.

I’m just at loss for a fix.

@george1421 Ok I’ve taken these steps, but when the laptop boots to the network, it gets up to “init.xz… ok” and just stops.

Update: I just noticed that if I go under fog configuration in the management console, nothing is listed for either bzImage nor bzImage32. When I run the kernal update, I receive the following error: Type: 2, File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php, Line: 144, Message: ftp_put(/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage): failed to open stream: No such file or directory.

Is this related?
