Sorry I jumped ahead of myself.
I was getting the error 0x040ee119 error when using the iPXE files from Toms website. ([url]https://mastacontrola.com/ipxe/[/url])

But what I did notice was that if I leave the CONSOLE_VESAFB out of the build and write my own iPXE script into the embedded ipxe.kkpxe file it seems to boot with my laptops. (Dell E5410)

[CODE]#!ipxe
ifopen net0
dhcp
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386
params
param mac ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
chain http://10.0.0.253/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params
[/CODE]

if I use the following fog iPXE script it seems to fail with that error.

[CODE]#!ipxe
sync --timeout 500
dhcp || reboot
chain default.ipxe || exit[/CODE]

I don’t mean to derail this thread if I’m not posting into the right place.

:edit:

I was using my own server as well as [url]https://rom-o-matic.eu/[/url] to make the files with the embedded script options.

Hi,

Not sure if this helps at all, but I am finding even when building from the master iPXE source with the iPXE script that I am getting the same error, but when I forgot to add the option for CONSOLE_VESAFB into the build, all of a sudden I could boot my ipxe.kkpxe file in my DNSMasq server. As soon as I built it back in the error returned

The resulting menu is ugly but it does boot.
Not sure if this helps or not?

Cheers,

I’ve just tested the new kernels on my Dell 755 (I am guessing they are the same hardware as Jordan mentioned in the top post.)
I’m getting the same result with the new TomElliottCore in the fog updates. I have also updated the installation to 1.1.0.

I do have a kernel that works on my fog 0.32 that I tried using but it kernel panic because the init was unable to me mounted.
I’m guessing this is because the default init is 64bit? and the new kernels know where to find the 32bit version but the old 2.6 kernel does not?

The above image is the error from the 64bit Kernel TomElliottCore - 5th June. - Dell OptiPlex 755

Thanks for that, I did have those options initially but disabled them to bypass the timeout.
I’ll add them back in and test the new iPXE from the posts.
As it seems to me a iPXE issue and not a network issue as I have STP disabled on my current switch I’ll have a read and see if I can get it working. Thanks for the help.

I wasn’t sure of the best place to upload an image so I used Imgur.

I for the life of me cannot figure out why this isn’t booting and locks up just after it loads.
I am guessing it is a configuration error on my behalf as it does the same thing on Desktops and Laptops.
From what I gather in other forum posts and the wikipage.
This should work ok?

I removed the commented out options for the sake of this post not over flowing.

I’m having trouble with the network cards as well in the Dells

So far I’ve tested the Dell OptiPlex 755 and receiving errors on the console reporting over and over.

DHCP/BOOTP: Ignoring fragmented reply
DHCP/BOOTP: Reply not for us
DHCP/BOOTP: Ignoring fragmented reply
IP-Config: Reopening network devices…

about about 3 or 4 minutes it loads but shows the network adapter as not available and lists it as failed.

I have tested with the latest kernel on the kernel updates as well as the ones from your website.
Both have the same issues.

The Dell 755 is listed as a Q35 Express chip and the network adapter is listed as Intel 82566DM-2 in windows.

I haven’t had a chance to check any other Dell Desktop yet.

Cheers,

Thanks guys,

Just doing a few tests with DNSMasq but I’m getting the same error with it not being able to load the default.ipxe file.
both the undionly.kpxe and default.ipxe exist in the same directory so I am not sure what the issue would be as it looks like undionly.kpxe is loading net0 and pulling a mac address. I’ll have a poke around a bit more.

Cheers,

So I could use DNSMasq on a network that is already managed (with DHCP/DNS/etc.) by an outside party and not interfere with the existing DHCP server?
I could only find references to replace existing DHCP and DNS forwarding but I haven’t tried using it next to an existing DHCP server?

EDIT: Sorry didn’t see James reply. I didn’t realise DNSMasq could do this as I haven’t use it before. The only issue is every single computer is set to pxeboot in our environment and the existing Windows solution already has a imaging solution in place for other employees that aren’t part of our department but exist on the same network. (yay for lack of control over your own network)

The default.ipxe file is in correct location , but it seems that as soon as I load undionly.kpxe via the iPXE usbkey it drops the network interface and can’t find the required files. It seems to load the network interface with undionly.kkpxe but then freezes with the word menu on the screen after it starts to load. I am suspecting it doesn’t like iPXE booting iPXE

Cheers,

I’ve pointed the iPXE usbboot keys at the undionly.kpxe but when it boots via tftp it loads the undionly.kpxe and gives an error saying error… default.ipxe.
I am assuming it can’t read the default.ipxe file when it loads as I don’t think it is able to bring the network interface up (Using a Dell 755). So I’m also assuming I could be doing something wrong here.

I’ve worked around that buy building the default into the embedded script with iPXE using the latest version from the website.
So someone else might find this useful.

[CODE]#!ipxe
prompt --key 0x02 --timeout 1000 Press Ctrl-B for the iPXE command line… && shell ||
ifopen net0
set net0/ip 10.0.0.2
set net0/netmask 255.255.255.0
set net0/gateway 10.0.0.254
set dns 10.0.0.254
set next-server 10.0.0.253
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386
params
param mac ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
chain http://10.0.0.253/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params
[/CODE]

I don’t think the gateway or dns are needed but I left it in anyway.

After it boots I am getting some errors in linux saying “DHCP/BOOTP: Ignoring fragmented reply” Over and Over.
I am thinking this isn’t related to the iPXE issues at all and more related to driver issues with Linux as it doesn’t seem to have the network card pop up when trying to do a full inventory.

Thanks again guys for fog

We don’t have access to control or change the existing DNS/DHCP server at all so I wouldn’t be able to use dnsmasq at all.
I worked around this with the USB key previously and booting pxelinux was easy with iPXE on the usbkeys we setup.

I’m in the process of building the iPXE build env but I’m having trouble embedding any scripts at the moment in CentOS.

Hi guys,

I had a look through the forums and couldn’t see if my situation is the same as others having issues with iPXE.
I’ve actually been using iPXE for the last several years to PXE boot our previous 0.32 version of FOG as we don’t have direct control over our DHCP server points at a windows server I cannot change.

My question is:

As we previously installed iPXE to USB keys to bypass the default DHCP server I am wondering if it is possible to chain load the fog iPXE from the iPXE I can configure on our USB keys.

I’ve tried doing this manually via the iPXE command line and trying to load the undionly.kpxe/undionly.kkpxe but the both error out, untionly.kpxe drops its network interface and undionly.kkpxe from the truck keeps the net0 but can’t load the default.ipxe file.

Would anyone know if I’m going about this wrong?

Cheers,

Ahh thanks for that, I have another question but I’ll create a new thread for that

Thanks for that, I’ll roll back our current server with VMware and create a fresh install.
I couldn’t find much info on it but does the previous version of Fog Service work with 1.0.1 and haven’t had time to check yet.
Will do this later this afternoon I hope.

Cheers,

just removed the /var/www/html/fog/ directory and re-ran the install script which reinstalled the /var/www/html/fog/ but I still seem to have the same errors.

As it is a virtual machine I can always roll back and start from my previous 0.32 install.
and if it is recommended I can do a manual migration as the fog install is quite a few years old now.

Yep, I went through the Schema upgrade for 1.0.1 via the web interface and it all seemed to report everything was fine.
It has the new interface and everything looks nice and fresh. Should I run through the installer again?

Cheers,

Hi Tom,

Yep, I updated it just before I did the upgrade.

I’m not sure it was something I did as the reference files from the error log i.e. /var/www/html/fog/management/ajax/host.search.php doesn’t exist in the fog directory.

I ran the installer from the 1.0.1 tarball

Cheers,
Adam

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if the following are a result of me upgrading Fog version 0.32 to 1.0.1
I am receiving the following errors in httpd errors:

script ‘/var/www/html/fog/management/ajax/dashboard.bandwidth.php’ not found or unable to stat, referer: [url]http://10.254.14.66/fog/management/index.php[/url] - When logging into the fog webUI - As a consequence the badwidth monitor is blank and doesn’t show data.

script ‘/var/www/html/fog/management/ajax/host.search.php’ not found or unable to stat, referer: [url]http://10.254.14.66/fog/management/index.php?node=host[/url] - When trying to search for a known Desktop the WebUI says Error in search and shows this in http error logs.

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /var/www/html/fog/lib/pages/ImageManagementPage.class.php on line 119, referer: [url]http://10.0.0.1/fog/management/index.php?node=images[/url]

• When trying to List all existing images in management webUI

Also when selecting a host and clicking on basic task nothing seems to happen.
I can’t get it to generate an extra log in httpd error log so I’m not sure if I’m missing something.

I haven’t done a fresh install and tried importing my old images and hosts yet. Would that be a preferable option?

Thanks again, Love the project.

Cheers,
