I am at my wit’s end. I have a new Fog server, Ubuntu 12.04.05 / Fog 1.2.0 on an HP Prolient box. Our old server crashed, which worked fine (UB10 / F1.1). It has been nothing but a pain trying to get this to work, all tftp problems. Even though the old one used undionly.kpxe, it caused an endless reboot loop on the new. So, switched to kkpxe. Now it will get to the fog screen, but when trying to add a host, either quick or full, it returns a “invalid MAC address”. I have checked and changed everything I could find relating to tftp and pxe in the wiki. Mick

@Wayne-Workman Installed Fog Trunk and it works! I was able to register a host. Thanks for the suggestion, I had read up on it but never pulled the trigger. Still had to use .kkpxe for it to work, used .kpxe on last server, but that’s ok. Also fixed the need to manually restart the tftpd-hpa service after reboot, so all is good. Thanks again, Mick

@Tom-Elliott Sorry for the delay in posting an update on this. On a whim, I pressed the “upgrade” option on the system update page to take it up to 14.04. Didn’t really think it would work, but if I’m going to start over, why not try. You were right. The newer version fixed the problems I was having. Downloaded the latest trunk version, and we’re off and running. Thanks again
