This is a brand new, greenfield, deployment. I have installed Ubuntu 22.04.03 and Fog 1.5.10. My PXE client (one of them) is a Dell Poweredge 760 running in UEFI boot mode. I have 3rd party DHCP server setup to point to the Fog server and have set x86 boot to look for undionly.kpxe and efi boot to use snp.efi. All of my testing is with efi. The server is able to PXE boot and get to the iPXE boot menu. Regardless of what I select from this menu, it either hangs or gives a chainloading error. I will focus on host quick registration for this discussion.
On a side note, I am able to successfully register a VM PXE boot test host I created so I know registration isn’t broke completely, rather my Dell host will not register.
Also, I’m a complete beginner to Fog. I have scoured this forum and the user docs for the last three days and am completely stuck. If the answer is obvious, I haven’t been able to figure it out. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
When I select Host Quick Registration and Inventory, I see…
bzImage… OK
init.xz… OK
and then a black screen with this message and it is hung indefinitely.
Here is the contents of my default.ipxe file. Note, IP info intentionally changed.
Please let me know what else may help.
