Im trying to boot a live cd via tftp but that take ages to load so shouldn’t i be able to mount the iso to a dir on my pc and export it via nfs for faster speeds?

Im trying to image a computer with the fog software and imgprep run on it. When it reboot to image it says unsupported chip set please report. dose any one know a fix for this?
the mobo chipset is p55

Ive tried booting to the most recent ubuntu iso but for some reason when I select it from the boot menu it says somthing about append a correct “root=”. Could there something be something wrong with my /default file? I have my ubuntu iso mouted to /tftpboot/ubuntu/12.10/

[CODE]LABEL ubuntu
kernel tftpboot/ubuntu/12.10/casper/vmlinuz
append boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.3/tftpboot/ubuntu/12.10/
initrd=ubuntu/12.10/casper/linitrd.lz[/CODE]

Right now have successful tftp get pxelinux.0 on my remote machine but when I try to boot it the dhcp the request times out, I did not set the IP for the dhcp server during the fog set up how can I change it?

How can i confirm that its working correctly, when i try to scheduled a task on a host it says unable to connect to the tftp server, im wondering if there is any other configuration needed for this program.

im gona try [url]https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq[/url] this tutorial for the installation this time and see if I get better results

[LIST=1]
[]First get your desired linux flavor installed
[]Install FOG (use instructions on wiki user manual)
[]Make sure you do a normal server installation, don’t setup a DHCP router address or a DNS server address, also don’t use FOG as a DHCP server.
[]If you set a MySQL password make sure you change it in /var/www/fog/commons/config.php and also in /opt/fog/service/etc/config.php
[*]Edit /etc/exports to look like this:
/images *(ro,async,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/images/dev (rw,async,no_wdelay,no_root_squash,insecure)
[]Install dnsmasq using:
sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
[/LIST]
Im confused with step 5 could some one clarify what exactly it means?

so just an update re installed fog and enabled its dhcp, it worked but then I believe it conflicted with my already existing dhcp and stoped working.

So should i just point it at /tftpboot or /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 or just /pxelinux.0.
Also should I have the fog server set up as a dhcp server even though its not used for primary use, just for pxe? and off the top of your head can you remember the commands to start/restart the tftp service?

What is the default location for the files need to boot to fog from a client and what files should be there?

/tftpboot contains… boot.txt,fog,memdisk,pxelinux.0,pxelinux.cfg,tftpboot,vesamenu.c32. is the were i should point the clients?

For some reason I time out at my tftp server not reaching the fog pxe boot screen. I had to use these custom options on my dhcp server and am not sure if i have the right path or file here are two options.

option bootfile-name “pxelinux.0”; <-------------------- ?
option tftp-server-name “192.168.0.3”;

option tftp-server-name “[url]http://$192.168.0.3[/url]”;
option bootfile-name “download/snom/{mac}.html”; <-----------------?

Also when ever im on the fog web interface and try to upload an image from a host it just says its queued
Server: Ubuntu 12.10 with fog v0.32
Dhcp server: Endian Firewall
