<p>Dgoulding: added bullet points</p> <hr /> <div>An issue with the MTU size of the ethernet driver following PXE boot stops devices with this NIC from being imaged.<br /> <br /> The default setting is 1500, which is causing this known problem with the driver. It is possible to use ifconfig from a debug shell to change the MTU to 1000. <br /> <br /> &lt;ul&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;1) Register the host, select the image, OS etc on Fog server as usual&lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;2) Rather than Deploy, choose &quot;Deploy-Debug&quot; under advanced tasks (Not just deploy, Not just debug)&lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;3) Boot device to PXE and wait for command prompt&lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;4) type: &quot;/sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 1000&quot;&lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;li&gt;5) type: &quot;fog&quot; to begin imaging &lt;/li&gt;<br /> &lt;/ul&gt;<br /> <br /> Credit to [http://sourceforge.net/users/mattmole/ mattmole] on [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=2999316&amp;group_id=201099&amp;atid=976199 sourceforge.net] for putting in the time to diagnose this isue and provide the workaround</div>
