Thanks aaoyagi, when I realised nfs mount was needed it was easy.
Do you happen to have a working menu for parted magic? I’ve tried both ways with the iso mounted and exported and just path to the iso
Throws an error both times.
UPDATE: looked over it one more time and tried what Tom suggested- removed raw and iso
chain memdisk ||
Working fine, thank you kindly
Sorry for the late reply,1) and 2) are both correct recompiled ipxe.efi works fine
@Sebastian-Roth
Lets say I deploy an image to host1 and join it to the domain. I want to image host2 next, so I thought maybe delete or just rename the host1 to host2 and start the deployment?
Looks like that worked, so I am just renaming the host since I’m using the same mac address
@sebastian-roth said in FOG server with dhcp client registration:
@Pikmin I don’t like guessing much so we should just take a look at the facts - the packets on the network that is. So get your client ready but don’t start it yet. Go to your FOG server and install tcpdump (
sudo apt-get install tcpdumporsudo yum install tcpdump). Then run the following command and substitute x.x.x.x with the client’s IP address: tcpdump -w /tmp/boot_issue.pcap host x.x.x.xLeave that command sitting there, boot up the client till it shows the error “Either DHCP failed or …”. Now stop tcpdump (Ctrl+c). Upload the generated file /tmp/boot_issue.pcap to your dropbox/google drive and post a link here or send me a private message if you don’t want to share this with the rest of the world.
I just went through the process of doing this when I discovered that after issuing spanning-tree portfast on all the interfaces it appears to be working now, so that’s the solution like in the other thread.
Thanks again for all your help george1421 and Sebastian Roth, I won’t forget the porfast setting ever again
