So it seems working with Uncle Frank again, the issue is the background Image causing the panic.
Frank commented out the bit of php code to show the fog background and the machines were able to boot to the Fog Menu
/var/www/fog/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php
[CODE]// print “console --picture $this->booturl/ipxe/bg.png --left 100 --right 80\n”;[/CODE]
Hey Uncle Frank, so None of the machines show the menu at all. (except a virtual machine)
I cannot get a screen shot as they just reboot… Perhaps a video.
Have tried both the 64 bit version and the 32 Bit versions of the 3.14.2 Kernel
Tried to create a gPXE bootable disk with all drivers, using the site: [url]http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-1.0.0/contrib/rom-o-matic/build.php[/url]
Still did not work.
Can you further explain that you did to fix your issue? I think I am having the same issue with several machines.
Except mine just reboot, almost like a panic then reset by the bios.
Wanted to update that I have completly removed Kerio DHCP from the picture and using DHCP MAC filtering to run duel TFTP servers. One for phones and the other for fog works perfect here is config for DHCPd if anyone is interested:
[CODE]ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 432000;
max-lease-time 432000;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
class “phones” {
match if binary-to-ascii(16,8,“:”,substring(hardware,0,4)) = “1:0:4:f2”;
}
class “other” {
match if not(binary-to-ascii(16,8,“:”,substring(hardware,0,4)) = “1:0:4:f2”);
}
subnet 10.0.7.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 10.0.7.1;
option domain-name-servers 10.0.7.1, 8.8.8.8;
pool {
range dynamic-bootp 10.0.7.45 10.0.7.155;
deny members of “phones”;
allow members of “other”;
next-server 10.0.7.68;
filename “undionly.kpxe”;
}
pool {
range 10.0.7.11 10.0.7.44;
allow members of “phones”;
deny members of “other”;
option tftp-server-name “http://phonepbx.url.com/epmcfg/”;
}
}[/CODE]
Also Verified a Lenovo Machine getting to the Fog Splash Screen but then rebooting before menu loads,
Further yet an HP Machine doing the same thing… man just not having very much first time luck with fog.
Seems the only way to get these machines to boot to PXE is to assign a task, IE Quick Wipe, Inventory, etc.
Anyone have ideas as to why this is?
PXE starts, init.xz OK then reboots. Never gets to the Fog Menu.
I have about 45 Machines to deploy and I would like to register each one into the fog server using the menu options.
Further when trying to deploy an image the image fails to load.
Uncle Frank thank you so much for the 1on1 help with this. So that we have written documentation of the issue at hand.
The customer has a Kerio Control Firewall (8.4.3 Build 3108) which as I suspected was causing the issues with “Next-Server” IP.
The Customer DHCP server would assume control of this rather than Option 67.
Uncle Frank found the article : [url]http://forums.kerio.com/t/27905/dhcp-server-kerio-control-and-tftp[/url]
Which suggests that Control does not support TFTP.
Uncle Frank setup DHCP on the Fog server and it worked like a charm.
Currently there is a ticket with Kerio about this issue. I will update when I find out more.
Thanks Uncle Frank, enjoy your dinner out with the GF courtesy of sourceminer 
Ran a wire shark, seems to be coming from the Fog server itself. I just dont understand why this seems so hard to get this TFTP server to work. 4 Installs with different flavors and not a single one working. Im running out of time trying to get this project working. I have spent 24 hours researching and havent even started the imaging process. If anyone has some time today, I would be interested in paying someone who has experience with this to help me out. PM me if your interested.
Sorry to change the topic but its related to some degree. So I found the option to use Fog with an unmodifiable DHCP server.
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server#Environment[/url]
So I installed this DHCPProxy on my test server, good news is I am getting some action now. Bad news is still not getting the FOG boot menu.
iPXE starts up and see’s the fog server at 10.0.5.240 attempts to boot to default.ipxe but says still the connection timed out.
The WIki suggests 2 options but I am confused as to which one to use, doesnt seem to make clear when to use one or the other.
Running the latest version of Fog I am to assume its the first ltsp.conf to create. Still no bueno.
@Uncle Frank, I did check the Fog Settings like you suggested and the Host IP is indeed set to the fog servers static IP.
I wanted to include that I created a lab at my location instead of customer and was able to re-produce the issue with the variant of Kerio Control Firewall DHCP
Confirmed that in my lab from my Mac machine I am able to communicate and receive the undionly.kpxe from the tftp client however from a PXE boot this is not the case same issue. Just called and reported an issue with Kerio Control. Halfway tempted to use another DHCP server but that may require more than I want to deal with right now.
Yes I realize that this seems to be an issue with option 66, as you can see above the DHCP server is sending the correct options.
Will have to do a wireshark.
Wayne, ran your commands and didnt change anything.
What is interesting is the messaging from the PXE Boot next server: 10.0.7.1 (what happened to 10.0.7.68?)

I guess I will have to do a wireshark.
Also verified that DHCP is indeed passing the correct options:

Hey peeps. I am beating my head against a brick wall trying to figure this out.
3 different installs of FOG from Ubuntu 14.4, 12.04, and now Debian 7.
Running in Virtual Box, bridged adapter.
None of them are working with regards to TFTP.
Options have been set in DHCP (Kerio Control Firewall)
Followed this article: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Tftp_timeout[/url]…
Not helping.
I can run command from Fog Server:
tftp -v 10.0.7.68 -c get undionly.kpxe
Connected to 10.0.7.68 (10.0.7.68), port 69
getting from 10.0.7.68:undionly.kpxe to undionly.kpxe [netascii]
Received 103273 bytes in 0.5 seconds [1683856 bit/s]
From a windows machine when I run I get a timeout. (currently either a separate machine or the host machine of this server)
When trying to make virtual machine TFTP from inside Virtual box as well I get the same results, timeout.
Seems to me like it would not be a switching issue being on the same bridged adapter, but I could be wrong.
