PXE Boot Issue

[im-not-a-robot]

Hi, Im try to use PXE boot using file that build from thinstation. Im already copying all files inside build/boot-images/grub/efi-source to my tftp root folder and set dhcp options (66 to my tftp ip address , 67 to boot/grub/pxeboot.img) to my dhcp server But when im try to boot up VM using PXE boot, its only show gnu grub.

What im missing ?

Note:

1. Using vmware workstation
2. Using default config

Thank you

Looks like it can't find grub.cfg or it does not like the one it finds. I'm not sure what kind of tftp server you are using, or how you are copying the files, but I would look into those two things. DevStation builds a tftp/webserver that serves files, so you could use that as an example.

Im using solarwinds tftp server on windows 11.

Maybe theres something i must configure on my tftp server ?

Looks like a communications issue between the client and the server. Are you booting EFI or CSM? Firewall anywhere?

[im-not-a-robot]

Im using EFI for thinclient booting. The firewall is turned off on my dhcp + tftp server OS (windows 11)

-- edited -- Not EFI, its BIOS/CMS (my bad)

[Doncuppjr]

pxeboot.img is the BIOS or CSM image. You need to use EFI/boot/bootx64.efi for EFI

[im-not-a-robot]

Sorry my bad. Nope, im using BIOS or CSM for thinclient.

Something with your tftp server. I am not having any issues serving files off of DevStation.

How to use devstation tftp server ?

[Doncuppjr]

Point your next server to the ip of the DevStation in your DHCP server

[Doncuppjr]

I added a utility to configure a DHCP server on DevStation. It will point clients to the right place.
