A couple more questions,
[S]Is it possible to still use images created in FOG 0.32, or do I have to recreate all of them?[/S]
Never-mind, figured that one out, needed to set old images to partimage and still set windows version to windows other for FOG .32 windows 8 images.
Where do I customize the iPXE boot menu to add options for booting to iso’s and other such things (the equivalent to the PXE/gPXE /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file)?
Thanks,

Well, I’m not sure what i did different, maybe it was something in the most recent update of fog .33, maybe it was the ltsp.conf file (even though it looked the same to me) but it finally booted to the pxe menu! As far as I can tell I didn’t do anything different than before though. I must have obviously.
I did have to comment out the port=0 line, otherwise my fog server loses internet connection.
I also had to make the symlink of undionly.kpxe in /tftpboot (sudo ln -s undionly.kpxe undionly.0) as was suggestion in a different forum post.
Thanks so very much for the help.

I currently have Ubuntu server 14.04 with FOG 0.32.
All those required gpxe files were in /tftpboot. I just tried adding them to /var/lib/tftpboot and /tftpboot/tftpboot and it still didn’t load ldlinux.c32.
I’d prefer to be using FOG 0.33, which I’m about to try to do a clean install of again, because I know that gPXE isn’t being developed anymore, but I figured it was worth a shot when iPXE wasn’t working.
I did follow the instructions on FOG .33, except I don’t a dhcpd.conf file for option 66 and 67. I had done the equivalent in the /etc/dnsmasq.d./ltsp.conf file with the (for iPXE) “dhcp-boot=undionly.0” (which was the symllink to undionly.kpxe) and “pxe-service=X86PC, “Boot from network”, undionly” lines. Should I be making a dhcpd.conf file somewhere if there isn’t one and I’m only running the dhcp proxy setup?
My most recent apache error log is attached, but I don’t see anything related to PXE boot errors in it.
Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for your speedy reply,
I am currently working with Fog 0.32 on Ubuntu Server 14.04.
I had numerous failed attempts to get Fog 0.33 and iPxe to work on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04, Ubuntu Server 14.04, and CentOS 6.5. I feel like I’m missing some simple step. I am working with an existing DHCP server that I don’t have access to any settings on. It has worked just fine with dnsmasq proxy settings with PXE on tftp in FOG 0.32, but the imaging is slow and can only reliably image one computer at a time.
I have looked through the forums and the wiki many times, as well as elsewhere on the internet to no avail. I’ve tried multiple versions of syslinux files, tried using make or make install on syslinux (which failed everytime), apt-get install syslinux installed a much older version that didn’t work (version 4.xx as I recall), iPxe wouldn’t get past seeing the ip address to boot to and then would simply say TFTP. The closest I came with iPxe was a “iPXE is loading services” message that then quickly disappeared and booted to hard disk before you can see any messages. I’ve also tried different kernels, the stock that comes with the install, the 3.88 core, 3.14.1 made by you, and a custom version of 3.14 too. I could go on and on with my attempts to fix this, but that would take too long.
The apache error log files didn’t have anything regarding PXE errors for me, just some database errors from when I reverted to a default FOG .32 installation and had to set the mysql password in a config file. So I just tried the gPxe method again to see if the apache error logs said anything about it, which they didn’t. I took a picture of the error screen I keep getting and attached it to this message.

This has been quite the headache to figure out, I’m sure there some super simple thing I’m missing to get all this http imaging fun times to work right, perhaps something that’s assumed is already done or that everyone knows and I just didn’t get the memo. Since I have all my images backed up, restarting in a whole new OS isn’t a big deal if it’s necessary. And I would prefer to have it working with FOG 0.33 if you have more advice on that router.
Thanks for the help,

I feel like there’s something I’m missing. I followed the wiki page on my ubuntu server and I get a “ldlinux.c32 couldn’t load” I’ve tried googling the error many times and can’t find any applicable fixes.
Am I supposed to install syslinux, or only copy the files?
How did you get iPxe working wolf_from_the_north? I can’t get that working either, and would appreciate some guidance.
Please and thank you
