I restarted the tftpd-hpa service on the FOG machine, and I am now able to tftp the undionly.kpxe file inside a windows machine. Yay!
BUT, when I attempted to PXE boot the client machine (the HP Elitebook), the F8 menu timed out super-fast (as it had before).
Jaymes, I have started a download from cisco.com of the cna of which you speak. You may have opened a door to a whole new world for me:)
I will hopefully use it to check my switches for Port Fast functionality.
Okay, here’s some more info:
I checked the BIOS settings on the client (an HP Elitebook 8570p), and it is set-up for a legacy boot (I must have done that at some point in the past). However, in the System Configuration menu of the BIOS, there were three PXE boot options: 1) PXE NIC, 2) PXE IPV4, & 3) PXE IPV6. Only the first one was optioned. I optioned the other two, but still no joy.
Something interesting has changed though. Now, during PXE booting, I get the F8 menu and I choose network boot (as before) and the TFTP search seems to take a few seconds now. Previously, the PXE-M0F error appeared so fast that I had to video the process to see the error in slow-mo. Now, the TFTP search takes multiple seconds, and the periods after the TFTP are multiple before timing out. I don’t know if this makes a difference or not.
Jaymes, the tftp attempt fails. I do have telnet access to all of my major switches, so if you can tell me how to check for Port Fast (my CLI is very rusty), I will look and see.
RLane, the client in question is a UEFI device, so I will try a legacy PXE boot to see if that works.
Thanks for the suggestions; more in a few minutes.
My DHCP server is a virtualized 2008R2 installation running on a VMWare ESX server in my central rack. That ESX server is connected to the network via a Cisco Catalyst 2960G switch which is connected to a Cisco Catalyst 3750 switch which is connected to my core switches mentioned above.
Maybe you are needing more than this…
The client computer is attached to a generic Linksys hub in my office that receives intranet bandwidth from a wall panel (the wall panel is connected to another patch panel in my central rack that is connected to a stacked pair of Cisco Catalyst 3850 POE switches that are connected to the rest of my network via other hubs and switches of varying types and manufactures).
The generic Linksys hub that is getting intranet bandwidth from the infrastructure is also feeding bandwidth to 1) my client machine and 2) a smaller Linksys hub on the other side of my office. That smaller Linksys hub has my Ubuntu FOG machine connected to it.
I can touch both the client and hosts machines at the same time if I stretch:D
We have properly PXE booted in the past for a very long time. Five years ago, our PXE booting would have involved our Novell imaging server. More recently than that, we have been using a Windows Deployment Services server (2008R2). As I am trying to deploy Windows 8.1, my WDS 2008R2 server won’t work, but it was deploying XP SP3 via PXE booting very well.
We run mostly Cisco switches, of varying ages.
Thanks, Tom. Is my face red?!
FOG updated to 1.1.2 successfully.
undionly.kpxe edited into ltsp.conf file.
dnsmasq service restarted.
Same problem --> Still receiving pxe-m0f error.
Tom,
I am unable to find the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file to edit it.
My /opt/fog directory has no such files. Only four sub-directories exist here: log, service, snapins, & utils.
Please advise.
So, I downloaded 1.1.2 and began the install. At the point in the install where I am asked to update the database schema, I tried and got a whole page of errors. See the attached file.

I tried running the FOGUpdater.sh in the installation folder, but it failed (unable to determine current version). Is there a better way to update?
I made the change to my ltsp.conf file, restarted the dnsmasq service, and tried to pxe boot again, and I get the same failure. I will try updating FOG.
Thanks, Junkhacker. In my ltsp.conf file, it looks like the boot filename is pxelinux.0
Hello,
I am totally new to FOG, and only slightly more familiar with Ubuntu. I am a network admin in a public school district trying to establish a FOG server (unhappy with Windows-based options). I have installed Ubuntu 13.10 and FOG 1.0.1. on a desktop machine.
I have been following the directions at:
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server[/url]
I have a DHCP server that I can modify, but I didn’t want to go that route.
I have attached to this post an output file from terminal in Ubuntu of the FOG installation and my steps thereafter.
When I attempted to establish a connection to FOG by rebooting a computer in my network, the ProxyDHCP works because it prompts me to press F8 and gives me options for Boot from network or Boot from local hard disk. When I choose the network boot, I get a PXE-M0F error.
I have disabled the firewall on my FOG machine with: sudo ufw disable, because it was suggested somewhere in the forum.
I am so lost that I don’t even know where to begin.
Thanks in advance for help.
