I have the FOG server as the dhcp server. So in my current setup it’s ubuntu server 4 port ethernet switch and supermicro. No internet connection etc. When I hooked up the Dell it booted without any issues which is why I though there was some compatibility issues with the motherboard.

RE: Media Test failure check cable. Supermicro mobo
A custom built 1U supermicro chassis that has 2 computers in it. PXE is enabled. Is the Intel Boot Agent the same thing?

RE: Media Test failure check cable. Supermicro mobo
I replaced both cables and isolated Fog server and client on new switch and still get the same issue. I even tried another computer. Still no love.
Thank you,

Media Test failure check cable. Supermicro mobo
I was able to successfully PXE boot a Dell Precision computer into fog. I received the fog splash screen and all seems to be working ok. I try to PXE boot our render nodes and get an error. -E61 Media test failure, check cable. Exiting intel Boot Agent then the machine reboots into the OS.
The machines are Supermicro X8DTT mother boards with BIOS: American Megatrends Inc.
Should I try updating to one of the published kernels or am I missing something?Fog 1.2.0
Ubuntu 12.0.4Thank you,

PXE boot permission denied
I have a new ubuntu install of 12.04 and the latest fog download. I was unable to configure our DNS server with the needed setting so I used the dnsmasq download.
When trying to boot one of our ingram micro pc’s from the network, the process stops on permission denied. Then provides a link to ipxe.org.
The PC shows that it was trying to connect to the fog server however no luck. I am able to tftp from my mac and get undionly.kpxe in 0.3 seconds.Not sure what else to try. Any help would be appreciated.
