@Chimpish Shutdown the firewall (systemctl stop firewalld) on the FOG server and try again.

@mtanigawa Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I might have spotted it. If this is not a typo in your post (bzimage… ok) then I suppose you just have the wrong Host Kernel setting (for this particular client or in generel settings for UEFI clients). Linux is case sensitive and bzimage is not same as bzImage (the default name in FOG).

If that’s the case I was wrong with my first assumption that iPXE was able to download the kernel binary!

@mtanigawa said:

http://fog-master-ip/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php… ok
bzimage… ok
Could not select: Exec format error (http://ipxe.org/2e008081)

The error means that iPXE is not able to load the FOS system. If I get this right here iPXE is able to download the kernel part (bzImage... ok but can’t select and execute it for chainloading.

Either the kernel (or init) is damaged. Possibly just re-download those manually to see. Ask here if you need the URLs. Or the generated boot menu is corrupted. To check that open http://fog-master-ip/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff in the browser (put in FOG server IP and client MAC address!). Post the full text output you get in the browser here in the forums.

@ayoward said in ipxe boot just hangs:

http://10.60.16.129/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params

As well, open that URL http://10.60.16.129/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php manually in your browser from a Windows/Linux client that is normally booted to see if you get any (text) output. Please copy and paste that output here so we can have a look.

@sgtrice Please run the following commands and post output here:

@cary1102 Is this a fairly new install of FOG? Has it ever worked before? Can you please post the install logs so we can check if successfully finished installing? You find those in the directory where you ran the installer script bin/error_logs/*.log.

@george1421 @Junkhacker Is anyone able to to reproduce this issue?!?!?

@TaTa I just pushed a fix, follow the discussion here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13230/advanced-menu-bug

@Scott-B Be aware that I just re-added the #!ipxe stuff as other users told us the advanced menu is broken for them now: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/13230/advanced-menu-bug

This is only in the current development version but it will also be in the next release 1.5.7. Just so you know in case you update to that or a later version at some point in time.

@Junkhacker Done https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/commit/f943e3a8690110fd7b469b40e38f3d26512ddc18

@austinjt01 This is the exact same picture you posted days ago. I can hardly believe you see the exact same screen again as we have changed the size of the init files and I would expect the “No space left in device” error to have vanished.

Please take a new picture of what exactly you have on screen when it hangs!

@Junkhacker I removed that in the process of trying to help @Scott-B make the advanced menu work for him. I have to say that I have not used that part of FOG much and therefore might have gone down the wrong path when I removed the leading #!ipxe from the code.

Back then it sounded like @Scott-B had it all working and it stopped for some unknown reason. But seems like I got that wrong. I am more than happy to revert this change as it seems like people are used to have it the other way and it breaks all their advanced menus.

Shall I just revert this commit? https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/commit/123cde2a2df78727b1b813e6f363c8f919a9a1c2#diff-f21fb2470403477fe0c412911d1227f1

@austinjt01 said in Failed to Set Disk GUID (sgdisk -U) (restoreUUIDinformation):

Seem to still have trouble with capture / deploy though. Keeps getting hung up on “Changing hostname…”

What do you mean by “hung up”?? Please take a picture of the screen and post here.

@jmonroew71 Take a look at the log file in /var/log/fog/fogmulticast.log and post the contents here.

I can imagine you are in the same situation as others with this: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/268

@EduardoTSeoane Do you mind sharing a simple script as basis to start from?

@austinjt01 said in Failed to Set Disk GUID (sgdisk -U) (restoreUUIDinformation):

So I re-ran the FOG installer.

The md5 sums we see in the picture are definitely not the most current ones. Which installer version did you run? Where did you download FOG? I mean from github or downloaded an archive?

@austinjt01 Please run the following commands on your FOG server and post output here:

md5sum /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/init*
cat /images/<IMAGENAME>/d1.partitions

Make sure you put in the name of your image instead of <IMAGENAME>!

@EduardoTSeoane Great, thanks for your input on this. You seem to use FOG heavily! Awesome.

@Fernando-Gietz Can you take a look at the suggested changes. What do you think?

@Almeida Do I get this right? You want to run a command on one (or many) or your clients and get the output of that command back?!

I suppose you can use snapins if you have the fog-client installed on the linux machine. But snapins usually don’t return command output to the server. So you’d need to write a script that first mounts a share on your FOG server and pipes the output of last to a file on that network share.

Do you have SSH enabled on the Linux client machines? If so I’d suggest using clusterssh to achieve what you want to do.
