well, now that you have a basic idea how the ipxe menu system works, i suggest going over to ipxe.org to get more information about your specific boot needs

i’m not familiar with noreg, do you mean capone?

delete the files in /management/reports
that should make most of them work

that’s what i wanted. that response looks exactly like what i would expect for a computer that does not have the “Join Domain after image task” option checked in “Active Directory” section of “Host Management”
can you verify that is set, and the information is filled out correctly?

try going to [url]http://<server[/url] IP>/fog/service/hostname.php?mac=<mac address of computer> and tell me what you see

when you ran the install script, did you use the sudo command?
also, did you have any scheduled or active tasks when you ran the installer?

what OS is your server?
checking around the office, we have used the ipxe boot method for, at least, the 3010,7010,390, and E6420 of those

is your tftp service running on the server?

have you checked your host service settings and global service settings to make sure they are both set to on?

i would recommend a fresh install, if you can. if not, then upgrade the server first, then fog.
i run 12.04 lts with no issue. 14.04 is new enough that we’re still working out some of the quirks with it.

if it is set to undionly.kxpe, that’s your problem. it should be undionly.kpxe

if your fog server can do as many things as you’ve said, the mysql is working fine. without it you never would have gotten logged in.
here’s some info on customizing the boot menu [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-0-33b-edit-pxe-menu.10403/#post-26419[/url]
to troubleshoot the domain joining issue, check the hosts fog service log file at c:\fog.log

oh, sorry, i forgot that hooks were broken in 1.0.1
i am running svn release 1710. hooks are fixed in 1702 and what i described will work in the next official 1.x.x release of fog along with a few other bug fixes

the hosts that are looking for the old IP will not communicate with the server while it’s running unless you reconfigure the hosts to look for the new name or IP. assuming you set up your dhcp server correctly for the new IP of the server, network boot operations should be unaffected. you could probably make a snapin to deploy to all hosts before changing the server that updates the config files on the hosts for the new server.

inside /fog/lib/hooks there is a file named AddHostSerial.hook.php
if you edit it to say var $active = true; it will list the serial numbers of the computers in the host view

that message may be the last message it gives you before waiting, but it is not necessarily the reason it is waiting. the computer is at that point booting a small operating system in order to do fog related tasks. that said, i have never seen it take that long. what kind of computer is this taking so long on?

what model dells have you been having problems with? perhaps we can get other people testing with the same models

Blatantly copied from Tom’s signature:

Basics: Please provide:
FOG Version (e.g. FOG 0.32, FOG 0.33, FOG 0.01)
OS Version (e.g. CentOS 6.5, Ubuntu 12.04, Redhat 6.5)

Have you checked your apache error logs? Can you provide information from these logs?
Debian based Location (normally)
/var/log/apache2/error.log
Redhat based Location (normally)
/var/log/httpd/error_log

Have you searched the forums for your issue yet?
Have you checked the wiki yet?
Kernel Issues: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ[/url]

is there an active or scheduled task for that host?
what version of fog are you running?

let’s try this again
[CODE]
set boot-url http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}
:MENU
menu
item --gap – City of Lewiston - Imaging and Diagnostics
item VMware VMware - Live
item DellDiag Dell Diagnostics
item hostinfo Host Informaton (Your Machine Info)
choose target && goto ${target}

echo failed to boot

goto MENU

:DellDiag
