Figured it out. Our network administrator placed prelinux.0 in 067 instead of pxelinux.0. Simple typo! So glad that’s all it was. Everything is working perfectly now. Upload my first image!!

Hello All,

I am running FOG on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and my clients will not boot from PXE. TFTP doesn’t ever try to load. I have read several posts about the service starting before the interface can come up causing errors. I tried all of these fixes but it still will not boot into FOG menu.

I have mainly followed the threads below to fix

Is there something I’m missing here???

Okay, I appreciate all your help!

I’m looking at /etc/fstab and all the filesystems are on default, none of them say noexec.

We are going to start over from scratch. My boss wanted to use CentOS instead of Ubuntu because of more stability. I’ve convinced him now that we need to use what is RECOMMENDED! lol Sorry that this a been a roller coaster. Thanks for all your help!

I’m logged in as root. Everything I’ve done on this server has been as root

When trying to start the FOGMulticastManger service using
[CODE]service FOGMulticastManager start[/CODE]
It comes back and says Permission Denied. The path for that service is /opt/fog/service/FOGMulticastManager/FOGMulticastManager

I change the permissions like suggested above to rwxr-xr-x root root for the file /etc/init.d/FOGMulticastManager
Still says permission denied. The services are enabled.

NICs are set for bridged.

Everything is updated, i made sure to run the updates through yum at least three times today before starting the FOG installation. One thing I probably should mention is that i have another NIC on this VM which is disabled for now. This shouldnt interfere should it? Our plan is to run this on every vlan on our network, which will require multiples NICs.

As far as log files, no its been a while since I have used linux. I used to know bash shell really well bc of previous programming experience. Just been a while since ive utilized it. I will get you those lines as soon as I can.

Choosing option 1 for Redhat
Normal mode
Everything else is defaults except choosing to make FOG dchp server which is no. We are integrating our own network with fog
