@Wayne-Workman Maybe I should clarify my question a bit. Is there a method to check if the services are not running or possibly restarting them all after a reboot via an automated script? I have been told that the tftpd-hpa has to be stopped then started after most reboots to work properly and today after a reboot the DHCP service decided to not start. Thanks for the help and comments for sure!

All my issues are now resolved after moving to the newest release and making sure all the services were started. Is there a way to make sure everything fog uses is always running after boot (tftpd-hpa and dhcp)?

Turns out the DHCP service was stopped. IT is now trying to pull an image again. Cross fingers!

I updated to 7861 this morning and that resolved the error in the screenshot. We were then able to get it to start trying to capture an image but it failed on the last step with a failed ftp login. After reading a bit this seemed to be because of passwords not matching. We set the passwords in fog to match ubuntu/storage/ftp so that they were all the same username and passwords. We tried again and ftp still failed. We walked away from it for a few to address some other issues and when we came back the screen was locked but the password we had set failed to unlock the computer. We rebooted into recovery and reset the fog user password back to what it was and pressed on. The next attempt failed to pull an IP address from the fog server. We restarted the service like this:

sudo service tftpd-hpa stop
sudo service tftpd-hpa start

It still fails to pull an IP address. Thanks again for the continued support!

No worries on the bugs! I understand that comes with traveling off the beaten path. Thanks for letting me know that I was not alone in my issue. I will be onsite tomorrow to try again and I will be sure to report back. Some of the other open source software I use has paid support/configuration and I was curious if that is something that is available for Fog?

We have been using Fog 1.2 for quite some time and recently ran into an issue with the newer gen 2 HP laptops and desktops. We saw some posts that people were able to get around the issue by moving ahead of the stable builds. We started fresh with ubuntu 14.04 and fog 1.2 then used SVN to update to 7843. The new setup cannot PXE boot new or old system currently and we are seeing an error we have not seen previously. Any help is really appreciated!
