[fog] PXEboot problem

[noph]

Hi, i'm new in Linux and FOG, so i'm sorry if my question is a bit odd

 

I'm installing FOG in Fedora 10 and i have installed the client service in a Windows XP computer.

When i'm trying to boot from the client, the client always unable to locate the configuration file.

The DHCP server seems to work fine and i didn't see any errors occurred in the server.

 

Here is the message I got in the client computer :

PXELinux 3.82 2009-06-09

!PXE Entry point found (we hope) at 9D3B:0109 via plan A

Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/0
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default

Unable to locate configuration file
Boot failed: press a key to retry or wait for reset

 

It seems that the client didn't know where to find the file. Should I configure something in the FOG server or in the Fedora or in the client?

 

Oh, one more question, should I install the tftp server separately or FOG has did it for me during the installation? Because i found the tftpboot folder but i cannot start the tftp server using the service command.

 

Thanks in advance..

does /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default exist on your FOG machine?

[Potato-Peeler]

The pxelinux is the link in scope 67, yes? If so it has to be the exact right link or fog plays up like mad.

@arcath

yes, the tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default is exist in my FOG machine

 

@potato-peeler

what do you mean by scope 67? i don't really understand, sorry..is it about the DHCP server or something?

[SYNACK]

The Scope 67 reffered to is just the settings for option 67 under the DHCP server configuration BOOTP / DHCP options

 

I think to do this you need to go into the dhcp server config and add

 

       allow booting;
      allow bootp;

 

and

next-server TFTP_server_address;
              filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";

or whatever it should be under your setup

 

But I am rubbish at *nix so I could well be wrong.

@synack

thanks a lot for your help..

i got another error then..*sigh*

 

PXE-T01 : File note found

 

i'll try to fix that..

[noph]

i found the problem...

in my dhcpd.conf, i wrote : filename:"tftpboot/pxelinux.0"

i changed it into filename:"pxelinux.0"

 

and it worked

 

@all, thanks a lot for the help..really appreciate that..
