… but wait! There’s more!
This current configuration with this kernel works but is extremely slow to proceed after “/init.xz… ok” on the physical machines I was using for testing. It eventually pops up a failure to configure the network adapter. (an Intel
82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection)
Alrighty… something’s working.
I’ve been stepping up through the kernels and have landed on unofficial 3.15.3 that appears to be working … okay-ish.
I’m grabbing a linux server vm right now and it spitting up errors like watermelon seeds along the likes of:
bug: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code partclone.image/2520
… but it is still working through the upload.
Now to blow it all away back to bare metal and see what fixes are really needed.
There can be only ONE!
ahem… There is only one instance of “console” in that context. There are two other entries as variables “consoleblank=0”
And now, somehow, I’m back to the original condition without getting to the ControlKey and Username/Password.
I read somewhere else, someone was having an issue where they could only get things to work immediately after rebooting the server. So I tried that.
If I time the PXE boot on my VM to hit the FOG server within the first few seconds of restarting, I can get all the way to the PXE menu. I quickly then tried to do a Quick Host Registration.
/bzImage… ok
/init.xz… ok
tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed
The VM window re-sizes to what looks like 1024x768, then if I’m lucky, I might get to:
piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.3: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr
… otherwise it’s hanging after the screen re-size.
I then disabled the firewall:
[CODE]sudo ufw disable[/CODE]
My VM is showing CPU usage above idle (12%) while I’m stuck.
Meanwhile we’re looking into the SQL server.
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 32252, member: 7271”]It will be ugly, but can you try this:

Editing {fogwebdir}/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php changing line 600:
[PHP]print “console --picture $this->booturl/ipxe/bg.png --left 100 --right 80\n”;[/PHP]
to
[PHP]// print “console --picture $this->booturl/ipxe/bg.png --left 100 --right 80\n”;[/PHP]
… appears to be working! … oh wait… nvm.
I get to the Control Key prompt to enter, then the username/password page, but then the same error occurs.
I’ve tried:
[CODE]wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/tftp/undionly.kpxe -O /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe[/CODE]
and
[CODE]
cd /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/
rm init.xz init_32.xz
wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/service/ipxe/init.xz
wget https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/service/ipxe/init_32.xz
[/CODE]
Plus I’ve tried [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/ipxe-issues-work-around.10727/[/url] . The symbolic link works, but the same error results.
The physical machines I’ve tried so far all work, it is only hanging up with my Hyper-V 2012 VMs with the same two errors as the original poster.
[quote=“BigMan99211, post: 24152, member: 21932”]Ok. I just figured out that I had the wrong network adapter booting to iPXE. But now, I’m getting errors when trying to load iPXE.
“Could not configure console: No such file or directory ([url]http://ipxe.org/2d8c203b[/url])”
“Could not boot: No such file or directory ([url]http://ipxe.org/2d8c203b[/url])”
Then it just boots to the VHD like normal.
Any ideas?[/quote]
Has there been any movement on resolving this issue? I am experiencing it also on my Hyper-V 2012. Physical machines have no issue.
Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS x64
Fog Project 1.1.2
Both clean virgin installs.
This is a game stopper for upgrading from 0.32 .
Kernel 3.12.5 on Fog 0.32 works for me.
The BIOS for the Lenovo ThinkCentre M73z (10bb-s00y00) is also a bit backwards talking.
I use these settings on BIOS fgkt28a:

** this may be the key to your problem as it switches off UEFI. AUTO brings back some UEFI elements that FOG doesn’t like.
