Hello,
I have a problem with getting an IP address after the PXE menu. My FOG Project server runs on an ESXi host. I tried creating a VM on the same host, and it works (both UEFI and BIOS), but when I try on a real PC, I get this error. The network topology is: ESXi server → Cisco Switch → Client.
Starting en01 interface and waiting for the link to come up
udhcpc: started, v1.37.0
udhcpc: broadcasting discover
udhcpc: broadcasting discover
udhcpc: broadcasting discover
udhcpc: no lease, failing
Either DHCP failed or we were unable to access http://ip/fog//index.php for connection testing.
No DHCP response on interface en01, skipping it.
Failed to get an IP via DHCP! Tried on interface(s): en01
Please check your network setup and try again!
I tried many ways, like configuring DHCP on my Windows Server and also using the DHCP built into the FOG Project, but every time it works on a VM, but not on a real PC. On the forums, I read that it could be because of the init.xz file. I tried changing the version, but with some versions I get an error about mounting the root fs.
Also I tried run in on Debug Mode, but i get error:
Unable to mount root fs on "/dev/ram0" or unkown-block(1,0)
I tried two different types of PCs, both with UEFI and BIOS modes. I also checked our firewall and I don’t see any traffic between the client and the server, and nothing is being blocked.
