Hello,

Thanks for your help, i’'ve managed to get FOG working now on the 1.3.4 version.

Has this been sorted, We’re running 1.3.4 and I’m getting an error about chainloading failed, FOG has been working fine for around 2 years on version 1.3.4 and now stopped working.

@sebastian-roth
I’m currently creating a new FOG server as a test to see if it does the same with that, if it works fine, I’ll re-install FOG on the old server, however, as it’s a school, and staff are teaching using the PC’s that have been imaged with FOG, If I was to re-install FOG would it affect the machines if the client (the FOG Service) can’t talk to the server, IE, it’s not going to reboot or disconnect from the domain or anything?

Thanks,

Dan

FOG server OS is Ubuntu 14.4 I think (Can’t remember off the top of my head).

FOG version is 1.3.4

Nothing at all has changed on the network, or the FOG server, so it’s odd why it’s started bringing up the chain loading message.

Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi,
FOG has stopped working properly, machines can’t boot up, and go past the PXE boot stage, it tries to load the FOG screen (I’ve got the hidden menu enabled, so there’s no GUI), but then says

Could not boot: Connection reset (Http://ipxe.org/0f0a6039)
Chainloading failed, hit ‘s’ for the iPXE shell; reboot in 10 seconds_.

Any ideas, I’ve never had this before, I’ve also rebooted the FOG server to see if it makes any difference.

Please help.

Hello,

That’s worked great.

Just another question, is it possible to transfer the images from the ‘OLD’ FOG server, to the new one, is it just a case of copying the images inside the folder that contains the images, and then paste them back to the new FOG server, and then changing the names to match the new image names etc?

Thanks,

Dan

@george1421
Am I going to lose everything, Image/Host wise? I’ve got machines that have been images from FOG.

Thanks,

Hello,

OLD IP: 10.31.97.124
Current, same IP: which I’ve changed back is the same as the above: 10.31.97.124

I know things will break if the IP is changed, that’s why I’ve changed it back from the IP that the machine was allocated dynamically, back to the static IP, as above.

I can access the dashboard etc, and load the images up on the screen, just whenever I try to download, or capture an image, it isn’t picking up the server, even though it sort of is as it has the IP of the server on the PXE boot screen.

Thanks,

Dan

FOG version: 1.3.4
Server OS version: 14.04 LTS

What’s the distribution of Linux?

Same for the distribution server, what’s that?

I’ve set the IP for the 066 - Boot Server Host Name: (IP of FOG Server)
I’ve also set the IP for the 067 - Bootfile Name: undionly.kpxe

Basically, the machine I was using was really slow at downloading images, and was taking around 1hr to download a small image, where on the old FOG server, it only took around 10 minutes per machine, it’s even slow when there’s only one machine downloading the image.

I swapped the HDD over, it’s exactly the same machine, just with a new NIC, but I know that one works fine, as that was my ‘old’ fog server (I say old, as i was running out of space, so decided to upgrade the HDD, and set up FOG again).

I got it all set back up again, it just takes ages to download the images etc, so swapped the machine (as I’ve said above), this is now where I face the issue of:

The IP changed on the FOG Server, even though the HDD was just swapped, so I set it back to manual on the new machine, and then it loaded the dashboard up on my Windows Machine, and this is now where it won’t allow me to PXE boot to FOG.

Thanks,

Dan

Hello,

I’m getting an error on my machines when I try to boot to FOG, it says

'Received DHCP answer on interface net0
tftp://(IP ADDRESS)/default.ipxe…0%

It then says connection timeout after a few minutes, I swapped the HDD into another machine as i think there’s an issue with the NIC in the other machine, It boots FOG up fine etc. At first, the IP Address was set back to DHCP instead of Static (manual). I’ve set it back to what it was set as on the old machine, and FOG allows me to connect to the server etc, it is working fine, however, it just won’t boot up.

Any one have any ideas what to do?

Thanks,

Dan
