After some extended research I figured out this was caused by the build script not re-generating the trusted root part of the code compiled into the iPXE binaries. It’s really easy to fix and I pushed a fix to both dev-branch and working-1.6 so we hopefully never run into this again.

cd path/to/fogproject/bin/ touch ../../ipxe/src/crypto/rootcert.c rm /tftpboot/undionly.kkpxe ./installfog.sh

On that way I learned a couple of things about iPXE booting over HTTPS and so I hope we can find most upcoming issues more quickly from now on.

Thank you very much, worked like a breeze!

@george1421 said in PXE Boot not working properly from Storage Node:

So the root cause of this:

The fog install script does not honor https for storage node installs?
The fog installer did not provide the necessary command line switches when installing the storage node to enable https?

As far as I can tell right now the only issue was that the storage node was not installed with HTTPS enabled in the first place and the buildipxe script in 1.5.7 has a bug that would not compile the cert into the binaries correctly (fixed for 1.5.8 already).

@george1421 Okay, thank you very much for your thourough response, I’m gonna think about it.
