Any idea about this? I have 1300 HP PC’s to reimage in the next month.

Question – I was able to multicast my laptops. Now, I have HP DC7800 SFFs that will not multicast.

I tried to make a new group, restart the service. Still running 1.1.1.

Log below.

It’s a fresh install. It’s a VM on ESXi and was not rebooted, the uptime shows since I turned the server up.

As far as the schema, when I would click the box to update it, it would take me the next page, which would be blank. It wouldn’t update and sat there.

I guess restarting the service got it working. What would’ve caused it to work yesterday and have the service stop this morning?

I restarted the service, I’ll see if that clears it up.

Below is the log.

Hello -

I have a fresh install of 1.1.1 and I’m unable to get multicast working properly (still).

I’m getting the hang like it’s waiting for them to all join, even though they’ve all joined. See attached.

Yesterday, same environment, I was able to get 2 going after lurking around the forums and seeing that deleting the group and re-adding the group would sometime work. I came in today, and I had tried that, and I cannot get any started. Unicast works great, reimages a 25 GB Win 7 image in ~6 minutes.

I’m not sure what else to try. I tried the latest revision, 1868 (as of yesterday) and could not get the schema to update so I reverted back to 1.1.1.

Any way to get around it would be great - thanks

As far as multicasting, we’re running 12.04 and 1.1.1. I tried to multicast and received the same Part-clone hang error. Upgrading to r1852 to see if it resolves it.

Yep, noticed that when I edited the original post - back up and running though. I’m still not sure what’s causing the issue with the 4530s. 4520s and 4540s work perfectly.

I’ll just use a USB until I can figure out what’s causing it -

I can still boot through the flash drive - yes. As for the connection, no. This is a completely fresh environment. I’m running AD and DHCP services off two domain controllers. Both with split DHCP 50/50. FOG is running on a new 12.04 VM server. Virtual servers are on the same VLAN for testing as the physical laptop.

Port config (although it shouldn’t matter, works for other models)

[CODE]Interface FastEthernet0/5
switchport access vlan 5
switchport mode access
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast[/CODE]

EDIT: Now on a live environment (VMware, my base images) I’m getting a kernel panic. I’m assuming this is due to

sudo ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 command, I’m not sure how to revert? Also, if that’s not the cause, it may be a bug with r1813.

EDIT2:

Unofficial Published Kernels

Was causing the problem. I’ve reverted back to Kernel - 3.10.1 TomElliott – I should’ve looked at the version numbers. Whoops.

Returned the same error. I’ve compared the bios revisions to the working 4540s model and everything is similar.

Without any workarounds, I still get the same PXE-E3B error claiming that there is no TFTP file found.

Absolutely, I went ahead and installed the newest SVN. Let me know what you would like me to further troubleshoot.

For what it’s worth - now my problem is very weird. If I register them for the first time, booting from the live USB, it will work every time after that. It is not detected the first boot into the FOG menu, though.

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 29715, member: 21583”]will they boot to the network if you disable the wireless in bios?[/quote]

That does not unfortunately, without the Clonezilla USB it goes back to the original PXE-E3B error.

My hunch was correct… on these 4530s it appears net0 is the wireless --I know this only because

1. the MAC address 2) wireless subnet is 10.145.x.x

Oddly enough, this only works when using the Clonezilla live USB. Is there a way to modify something in FOG for these devices specifically to select net1 as the default so it can boot [I]without[/I] having to use the USB?

I guess my main question to you then would be (disregarding the previous picture) – why would it boot off a flash drive with a Clonezilla to ipxe verse through a network boot? Would this be caused by the wireless interface taking place of net0 instead of net1, thus not allowing the ethernet to actually be bootable? See attached screenshot -

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 29658, member: 7271”]Do you have multiple TFTP server’s on the same subnet handing out files? It sounds to me like this is the case. That or the firmware for the PXEBoot on those systems is programmed to seek out pxelinux.0 specifically, one way to test that theory would be to create a link to the undionly.kpxe as pxelinux.0
[code]sudo ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/pxelinux.0[/code][/quote]

Strangely enough, no. This is an entire new network structure and this is the only TFTP server on the entire network. With that said, this change did work, perhaps this was a very old model. Question though, we have over 120 HP ProBook 4530s - is there a way to add the driver to the kernel to actually get it working? Using a flash drive is fine, but if there’s a better/easier way to make it work, please let me know.

Thanks Tom - Love FOG and the entire project.

I went through and tried both of these, neither of them ended up working. The only way I could get it past the

“PXE-T01: No such file
PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File Not Found”

Was to use the Clonezilla live boot CD – but even then that was hit and miss on certain devices. For example, it would work on a HP 4540s but not a 4530s; see attached. It’s pointing to pxelinux.0 in the screenshot for some reason, but it works on other devices and pulls undionly.kpxe.

Currently using:

Anything worth noting I could try? Worse case I can revert to an older version – unfortunately our district has hundreds of these HPs.
