Just tried that and it won’t boot into debug either.

This is an upload task. My fog version is 1.2.0 running on Ubuntu 13.1 and I’m using the default fog kernel. I have tried running the kernel update but when I try to connect through the gui the page just blanks out on me.

Hello. I am trying to image an HP EliteDesk 800 G1 and the image process will not begin. I am able to register the host just fine and it seems like it’s going to go but it just hangs at: Using Hard Disk: /dev/sda and then never does anything.

I’ve tweaked the bios settings between Legacy and UEFI and neither seems to make a difference. Interestingly enough, I am able to start a clone of the RAW disk image but obviously I don’t want to have terabyte images to store and/or deploy on this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

BOOM! That did it. Awesome! Thanks so much. I really appreciate your assistance with all this. My next step is to attempt to mount my windows share through the VM. Learning as I go!

All is forgiven. I contacted Jaymes Driver via PM and in response on troubleshooting an IP address typo became apparent to me and I am now able to boot to the PXE menu. Haven’t tried imaging yet but I will soon. I appreciate yours and everyone’s assistance in helping me muddle through this. Prior to this I had close to zero knowledge of Linux so it’s been a learning experience thus far and will continue to be.

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 39860, member: 21583”]and you’re downloading this from the windows tftp server you set up, not the fog server, right?[/quote]

The test was done on a totally unrelated workstation that has the Windows TFTP service installed. It’s even on a different subnet so that crossed over successfully.

[quote=“Wolfbane8653, post: 39856, member: 3362”]Can you download the file using a windows computer?

Change undionly.kpxe to default.ipxe in the command in this wiki help.

Yes, I can tftp the default.ipxe from an unrelated Windows box. Transfer successful: 304 bytes in 1 second(s), 304 bytes/s

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 39837, member: 21583”]ipxe is trying to download default.ipxe from the same location as where it loaded undionly.kpxe from. is it there?[/quote]

Both files are present in my /tftpboot folder.

[quote=“Liam Sullivan, post: 39826, member: 23009”]Why don’t you save yourself a headache and just set FOG up the way it was intended then pass the DHCP option settings to whoever does have access to the DHCP server to configure. (Assuming you’re using a third party DHCP server from your original post) That way you wont have to faff on with this and you can have a fab fog server running peachy like :)[/quote]

Well… this is somewhat of a “one-off” setup because the standard protocol is to use Symantec Ghost which I’m not a real big fan of, so that being the case I don’t think I’m gonna get any help with changes to the DHCP server back at headquarters.

I’ve got things configured using Fog and the proxyDHCP to the point where the client is getting an IP and trying to pull something down via TFTP but it craps out and returns a message saying “[FONT=Tahoma]./default.ipxe connect timed out.” and I’m dead in the water. [/FONT]

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 39801, member: 21583”]i still don’t see how that requires not using the tftp server fog provides[/quote]

I was just wondering if it could be done through Windows since I’m having some trouble getting the FOG side of it up and running. Prior to this I was using Ghost and the 3Com TFTP and PXE solution they provide. So I am curious if it’d be possible to serve up the PXE images that way.

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 39788, member: 21583”]if you’re unable to access your current DHCP servers to change the settings, how would you configure it for the windows based TFTP server?[/quote]

ProxyDHCP via TFTP32.

I finally got it sorta working with the DNSmasq method but I’m getting the /default ipxe connection timed out error on one computer and the other just says no operating system found.

Hello. I am in a bit of a dilemma because I’d like to start using Fog but I’m in an environment where I’m unable to use the built-in DHCP feature and I don’t have access to our current DHCP servers.

Is it possible to serve up the Fog PXE image through TFTP through Windows and then have the clients find my Fog machine once they’re booted?
