No pxe boot on virtual box guests

Hi all, Thomas went through all steps with me for a couple of days.. and we both come the conclusion that Virtual Box must be the culprit. I’ve a faiserver as guest and want to pxe boot another guest; the client gets an IP address but not the pxelinux.0 Connecting locally on the faiserver with a

Re: No pxe boot on virtual box guests

The other way works as well: Having FAI on a dedicated server (in our case as a KVM host) and the FAI client in VirtualBox. Using FAI 4.2.5 here. Never tried having both server and Client in VirtualBox though. Cheers, Robert Am 26.01.2016 um 16:36 schrieb Frank Thommen: > Hi Chris, > >> Thomas

Re: No pxe boot on virtual box guests

I'm not sure what a screen shows while a machine PXE boots. (Sorry, I'm blind.) So this may be a dumb suggestion but you can tell what files a machine is asking the tftp server for during a PXE boot by turning on verbose mode on the tftp server. With tftpd-hpa, you add - to the end of the T

Re: No pxe boot on virtual box guests

I’m working with this setup right now. TFTP seems to be working fine. I’m using “Internal Network” for the installation clients. The fai server has two networks, the same “Internal Network” to boot the clients on and bridged network to get to it from the VB host. You MUST have a wired, not WI-F

Re: No pxe boot on virtual box guests

Thank you all for your replies! =) I’m running 5.0.10 r104061 on latest OS X on MacBook Pro. Everything to see in syslog with - in the tftp options is nothing, just the dhcp info. daemon.log is silent as well. I think as well that there’s any conflict regarding the built in tftp server from

Re: No pxe boot on virtual box guests

In VB, select your fai server VM, the click on “Network”. VB is weird because you have to click on the word “Network”, not on the icon. This brings up the Networking menu. Between the menu bar at the top and the particulars for the interface below is a line of adapters. Just select “Adapter 1”,

Installed boot failure FATAL: INT18: BOOT FAILURE

I have both clients and server running in VirtualBox. This seems to work fine. The entire install process takes place, but when the system reboots, it fails. If I set up the client VM so the boot order is HD then network, the VM comes up with a blank screen and absolutely nothing happens. If I

Oh my god.. what a crap is that.. then they should lock the complete settings.. Cool Frank, thank you! c > On 26 Jan 2016, at 19:13, Frank Thommen wrote: > > Is your VM currently running? stop it and retry. You cannot change settings > while the VM is running > > f. > > > On 01/26/2016 05:

Re: No pxe boot on virtual box guests

Hi Ronald, doesn’t work here.. for the pxeboot it’s not necessary to get on the fai-boxes from the VB host.. hence the internal network should be sufficient.. But.. for the case VB needs your setup for whatever reason.. could you please copy & paste your interface configs pls? Thank you! Chris

Re: No pxe boot on virtual box guests

I did screen shots of my config and put them on Dropbox so as to not spam the list with them. I’ve never tried this before, so let me know if it doesn’t work. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lw07igfr4w9tkyn/AABW4e_A10VWc0NtzkWEJLHma?dl=0
