From my Windows 7 client, I could download the file (after allowing TFTP in my firewall)

Just changed undionly.kpxe to be undionly.kpxe.INTEL, and now I managed to have new machines uploading image.
But older machines still getting error in PXE file not found. And they don’t ever start because keep looping in trying to boot from PXE

[quote=“tamatech, post: 26861, member: 24111”]Tom,

I recompiled a new undionly.kpxe using this site: rom-o-matic.eu and with help from these forums on chainloading default.ipxe, I was able to upload an image into FOG 1.0.0.

Is there a way to remove (or reduce) the 60 second wait time on the “i2c-parport-light adapter type unspecified” message before the kernel is finally loaded?

Embedded script:#!ipxe
dhcp
chain default.ipxe

Thanks again,

Tamatech:

Could you please be gentle enough to show how you did it (or share your working undionly.pxe)?

Older hosts (non-UEFI) present error

Just to send other photos of the boot process of the new machines…

I’ve done that… but the old PCs (non-UEFI) are unable to receive the undionly.kpxe file now.
In older machines, I get:
[INDENT=1]PXE-E53: No boot filename receive[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]PXE-M0F: exiting Intel Boot Agent[/INDENT]
In the new machines, with Legacy mode enabled, I get (the first time I booted):
[INDENT=1]PXE->EB: !PXE at 99C6:0070, entry point at 99C6:0100[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]UNDI code segment 99C6:3ABC, data segment 0D7B:C4B0 (565-630kB)[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]UNDI device is PCI 03:00.0, type DIX+802.3[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]565kB free base memory after PXE unload[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]iPXE initializing devices…ok[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]iPXE 1.0.0+ (7627f) – Open Source Network Boot Firmware - [url]http://ipxe.org[/url][/INDENT]

[INDENT=1]Configuring (net0 e0:3f:49:46:8d:e4)…"[/INDENT]
Then, although a bunch of messages with error appear (see attached photo), I could acces Fog Menu and,for example, register host (full).
In GUI I can see the new host, added it to a group, and in basic tasks, ordered image to upload.
Now, it keeps looping in boot, appearing everything until “iPXE initializing devices…”. Deleted task, but problem remains.

With all this in mind, I think it may have smthing to do with some incompatibility of the NIC with undionly.kpxe… what can I test more?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 28235, member: 7271”]So which interface is the WEB GUI accessible from? Are the VLAN’s able to communicate across each other? If they’re not able to, this is probably why you’re unable to see the GUI.

Which one is hosting TFTP? What are the error’s you’re seeing with that? You wrote on my wall that things aren’t working, but we need more information. Assuming the problem is linked to the fact that you have two separate VLAN’s that you want communicating with each other but aren’t, I’d say start with your DHCP server. I’m going to guess that you have a Singular DHCP server doling out IP address to each of the respective VLAN’s within your control? If this is the case, then you need to specify the option’s 66/67 on the network. Also, check your iptables settings and make sure firewall is turned off.[/quote]

Tom:
I’m sorry to have posted that information in the wrong place. Regarding that subject, both VLANs don’t see each other, but I managed to have things working again (as it was working prior to version 1.x.x).
I have been using Fog 0.32 in my school for a long time. But now we have 35 new machines with UEFI BIOS, and we weren’t able to deploy them using 0.32. So, we decided to upgrade to version 1.x.x
Right now, I am using latest version (1.1.0 which, by the way, says it’s not the last version in Fog Settings), and having some dificulties.
The first one is that I get PXE-E53: No boot filename received (and option 66 - nextserver 10.1.81 - and 67 - undionly.kpxe - are configured in my CISCO switch (which is the DHCP server for this VLAN).
Last, I read in some forum, about compiling specific versions of undionly.kpxe ([url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/realtek-8111-8168-undionly-kpxe-hangs-on-initialising-devices.10453/[/url]), but I have no idea of the process and how to achieve this… for example, what is chainloading and why it’s necessary. I read at “[url]http://etherboot.org/wiki/pxechaining[/url]” something, and also you article at “[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/build-ipxe-from-source.10152/[/url]”.
My older machines all are a HP dc7900p with Intel PXE, but my new machines are ASUS B85M-G onboard NIC from Realtek. And I need desperatly to have things working, for I’m the only one who deploys and handles about 400 computers at my school, although my main job is teaching.
Sorry for taking your time… I want to be able to do it alone withouth bothering you further, but I need some lights first, if you be kind enough. I am willing to publish all the work, so others can repeat it and resolve their problems to.

Thank you, once again, for this incredible work you’ve done. God bless you.

Upgraded FOG to 1.0.1 in CentOS 6.5.
Updated undionly.kpxe to the one named undionly.kpxe.INTEL
I have everything working, except for the WEB GUI.
For example, in Firefox and Chrome, after entering Host Management, I cannot access any of the links in Host Menu (i click on the links, but nothing happens).
In IE 11 it is working.

I need to say that I have 2 NIC cards on my FOG server, each in a differente VLAN. The IP configured in FOG is 10.1.8.1, but I access the Web interface with another IP, in another network (10.1.2.x).
