Hi Having trouble in not not able to boot PXE onto the fog server from a network. Setup Fedora Workstation 22, running in a VM on hyper-v 2012. Can browse fine onto the network DHCP is done via a windows server. Oh, miracle this guy want to talk about another boot system based upon PXE, it's gPXE, from a GsOC, it was a very interesting conference. After i saw it (few hours after) i want to create a setup for testing, and it was so simple and useful that i scratched my old setup and only use the new one. Many Linux distributions include it. Many versions of PXELINUX also include gPXE. Some distributions, such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5.3, include older versions of PXELINUX that do not include gPXE. In order for PXE booting to work with the builtin server in Virtualbox you need to configure your VM's network settings and boot order.
Pxe But Gpxe Extensions Not Detected Completely
I looked for a net0 interface but it too was not recognized by 'ifopen
net0'.
My card is a Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller
with an ID of 1026.
I'm very interested to try the DHCP option you suggested but it is an
area with which I am not familiar (although I know a little reading
wouldn't hurt).
Nevertheless, I followed the Getting Started instructions.
We have three computers on our network but only mine uses Linux (the
others run Windows with which I am not very familiar). So, I installed
dnsmasq on my computer (in Ubuntu).
Next I downloaded netbootme.kxpe and moved it to /var/lib/tftp (note
that the tftp directory did not exist so I just created it).
Then I added
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/var/lib/tftp
dhcp-boot=netbootme.kpxe
to the bottom of /etc/dnsmasq.conf.
However, now what? It's unclear to me what's the next step.
The Getting Started howto doesn't go any further than this.

Pxe But Gpxe Extensions Not Detected Blocked
- However it does not. So in order to be able to install Windows to the iSCSI drive I need to either get gPXE or PXElinux to instruct it to boot from the first optical drive after sanboot fails, or set up a PXE image server to load the Windows DVD from, which I don't really have time to do.
- When chainloading gPXE from PXE, gPXE can use this API (instead of loading an hardware driver). This way, you're getting support for network controllers that are not natively supported by gPXE. Some network controllers have improved performance when using the UNDI driver over the vendor specific gPXE driver (forcedeth for example).
