Figured it out. The old database was using the wrong bzImage file. Thank you again for all the help.

I have upgraded fog to the lateset version on Ubuntu 20.04. Was working fine until I updated the database with the backup of our old database to get all of our inventory and printers for hosts back. Now when we try to deploy images or register hosts we get this message.

@george1421 Never could get the Fiber card to work with any of the drivers. We bonded all 4 nics and are getting decent speed. Do know of a Fiber card that does work? I am just about to start researching. Thanks

@george1421

Thank you, We will give it a go. Thanks again

@george1421 I found it in the list.

@george1421

I have upgraded our server to Ubuntu 20.04 and can not get the Startech Fiber card installed. The chipset is PN9210. Ubuntu sees the card but I can not find the correct drivers. Has anyone had this issue before?

@george1421 Thank you lol, yeah the ips are still the same, we are working through it and will post the resolution.

@george1421 That worked fine. So the other day it was not connecting to the internet for me to update the kernel. I had a coworker that is better with Linux than I am mess with the ip and he made it a static ip and static dns and I think he did something so I will work with him. Unless you have any suggestions? Thanks

@george1421 no it is on subnet 101 and every thing is here in Tech is on 93 so let me move a port to 101 and see if it will boot. Thanks

@george1421 Yes the option is there it was all working fine before Yesterday.

I just tried a Yoga 11e and got a little different message.

CLIENT MAC ADDR: 50 7B 9D C9 D8 GUID: 014B5B90 7554
CLIENT IP: 192.168.93.82 MASK: 255.255.255.0 DHCP IP:

TFTP.
PXE–T01: File not found
PXE-E3b: TFTP Error -File not found
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.

@george1421 no none of our machines are booting. The test machine I am using is a E550

What version of FOG? 1.3.5 SVN 6067
What hardware are you booting? Lenovo
What mode is the target in UEFI/BIOS? legacy
What boot file are you sending to the target computer (DHCP option 67) undionly.kkpxe
Is this a new FOG install or one that has worked and you are just having an issue with this specific computer?

Existing fog install that was working fine until I tried to boot a new HP but backed up all files like the bzImage file and the init.xz and the init_32.xz

I tried to upload a picture of the error but could not get it to load.
Basically it boots and gets the DHCP address and shows the gateway like

CLIENT MAC ADDR: 50 7B 9D C9 D8 GUID: 014B5B90 7554
CLIENT IP: 192.168.93.82 MASK: 255.255.255.0 DHCP IP:
GATEWAY IP: 192.168.93.254
TFTP.
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.

then it reboots

@george1421 I was able to edit the Grub.cfg and add our Fog server IP in and then boot with USB and register and capture and deploy. Thank you again for all the help.

@george1421 I got the USB created and now working where I can register but I got this error.

@george1421 Still waiting on Dell. They said they are getting in the lab and working on it with the last info you gave me. That being said we have to get these machines imaged so you said there was another option besides PXE booting. We have not captured the image yet so we have to capture the image and then deploy it to 60 laptops. Thank you again for your help.

@george1421 This is what Dell is asking and I am not sure about the answer.

Hi John,

Do you know off-hand if that’s the same one that would be available here? https://ipxe.org/download

Or would that have been configured any?

@george1421 Ok here is what i see in the BIOS and i dont see anything about the ASPM. I will try to call Dell today. Thanks
