@quazz said in full registration hangs at bzimage:
It might be worthwhile to try a different boot file (eg ipxe.pxe instead of undionly.kpxe) as well.
changing the boot file to ipxe.pxe did the trick! The host performed the full registration successfully without any errors!
Should we continue? It will take me some time to do a mirror port capture (but I’m definitely okay doing this)
I did another attempt with tcpdump and now I can see at least some HTTP traffic - maybe this helps:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4sl1rog18suypmu/bootissue.pcap?dl=0
After ctrl-c tcpdump told me:
tcpdump: listening on ens3, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 262144 bytes
97 packets captured
97 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
67 packets dropped by interface
…still working on the mirror port capture…
Thanks!
if I cancel with ctrl-c and do a ifstat on the pxe shell I receice the following message(s):
net0: 00:1a:92:9e:10:e1 using undionly on 0000:03:00.0 (open)
[Link:up, TX:150 TXE:1 RX:276 RXE:9]
[TXE: 1 x “Network unreachable (http://ipxe.org/28086011)”]
[RXE: 4 x “Operation not supported (http://ipxe.org/3c3f6303)”]

[RXE: 1 x “Invalid argument (http://ipxe.org/1c056002)”]
Is this packet dump somehow being filtered after capturing?
No - I used the command you mentioned and uploaded the original file
Possibly DHCP server, client and FOG server are in three different network segments.
Not that I know, though I did not set it up…
Do you have the ability to take a second computer and a small hub or a small switch (like SLM2008) using a mirror port capture the traffic actually going in and out of that target computer.
I’ve never done something like this and I only got a rough idea how to do it, I really would appreciate if you can point me in the right direction
Thanks for the quick answer!
Please post a picture of the pfSense settings here.
It’s rather large…

Anything else you need to know?
You need to know about things like DHCP, option 66 aka next-server and option 67 aka filename. Read up on this stuff, I’d suggest. The internet is full of great explanations on that stuff.
Yes, I will definitely!
So the issue is specific to that mainboard I’d say. Please boot up you Linux Mint and run lspci -nn | grep net. Post what you get on the screen here.
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller [11ab:4362] (rev 20)
Nope, different issue! Probably best if you open a complete new thread on this so we don’t mix up things! It’s a lot easier for everyone to follow if we don’t discuss several issues in one thread.
I will try to solve this on my own first …
Sorry for the delayed reply, I was busy with some other things recently…
@george1421 said in full registration hangs at bzimage:
Is /has the bios/firmware been updated in this system?
No
Is this running bios(legacy) or uefi mode?
Bios
Are you using the built in ethernet adapter for imaging?
Yes
Is this a new install of FOG?
Yes
What precisely do you have configured for dhcp option 67?
Don’t know what this is, Sorry! I’m using the DHCP in my pfsense
Have you tried on different hosts (same hardware)?
Yes - I have a couple of the mainboard mentioned (p5w) with Linux Mint 18.02 and Debian Wheezy and none of them is working
Have you tried on same hardware (different clients)?
My Laptop - a thinkpad w540 - has also Linux Mint 18.2 installed and with this machine the registration worked
I tried to pull the image from the thinkpad today and I received an error: “Could not mount the image folder” - can this also be the problem for the other PCs?
thanks

@wayne-workman I’m running this machine exclusively with Linux Mint for already a couple of years without any glitches
I’m trying to do a full registration of a client (Linux), but it hangs at bzimage (at 5%). I already successfully performed a full registration of another client (Linux).
Fogserver 1.4.4 (on Ubuntu 16.04)
Any help appreciated - Thanks!
