@george1421

Best post I’ve found in troubleshooting this thanks much for that George! Tracked down another pesty, ancient server that “answered” and I will chop it momentarily.

I’ve had some excellent and patient help from you over the years thanks muchly for what you do mate. 🙂

@george1421 Okay Thansk for the Info. I will test a bit and give feedback if the thread can be marked as solved.

@kvothe88 I suggest you compile iPXE from the latest source code and try again: https://docs.fogproject.org/en/latest/reference/compile_ipxe_binaries.html

@lanius said in LenovoT14sGen2 Cannot Get Image:

This update has solved my problem

So just for clarity updating your FOS Linux kernel to 5.15.x fixed imaging on your Lenovo T14 Gen2?

@nw22 I forgot to ask which version of FOG do you use? Specifically which version of the FOS inits (when it boots up it prints the version just below the ASCII art FOG logo)?

Would be great if you could do some testing when we do find and fix stuff. Are you available for testing?

@ayy_nelson said in PXE boot issue with HP Probook 450 G8 (Realtek Nic):

I too purchased a handful of new G8 HP Laptops.

Some things we found with this new generation of systems with this realtek network adapter. Update your FOS Linux kernel to 5.15.x series (we just discovered this) and also update your iPXE version using this method. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15826/updating-compiling-the-latest-version-of-ipxe

Right now we only have anecdotal evidence that it fixes what changed in this generation of hardware.

@akaushansky said in HP Elite X2 G4 imaging stuck on rEFInd:

BUT, creating bootable USB with 0.11.00 version worked. the very same rEFInd.efi and conf work on USB and dont work on FOG…

It’s not FOG itself causing the problem but the same binary being loaded and run in a different way. Loading it the PXE boot way seems to cause trouble on this particular hardware.

Have you updated the UEFI firmware to the latest version? Have you updated iPXE to the latest version?

No promise this will help but it is worth a try.

@amjfrankenstein Lost track of this and just stumbled upon this again. Are you still around?

We were talking about removing ARCH support altogether as no one wants to work on this: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/447

Please let us know if you are still keen to get involved. If not, ARCH support will be removed.

@mrpumba Please search the forums and github for “php-gettext” and you will find out. If you still need further help you need to tell us which Linux OS and version you are using.

@wayne-workman

The FOG server is running at home and I forget exactly what else is running on it. KMS emulator, and some other things that are easy to migrate. It’s just… I suck at Linux and I remember making lots of tweaks here and there and the idea of doing that all over again is a PITA to me.

The more I think about it, it wouldn’t be a big deal to start fresh.

@sebastian-roth Will do! sorry about that.

Thanks again.

perfect thanks, do i need to restart any services?

No restart needed.

@kvothe88 said in Stuck at bzImage after selecting image to deploy:

hi, im using a UDM pro from Ubitiqui as DHCP so that doesnt help…i have a laptop and only boots with snponly.efi…but stuck in bzimage at deployment. Dont know what else to do

Well from your first message this sounded fairly different. Something about policy…

In this case I suggest you open a new topic in the forums so we don’t cause unneeded confusion. Post a picture of the screen where it is stuck along with information on yor FOG version, kernel version and the exact make and model of the device you see this issue on. We’ll take it from there.

Moved the VM’s to different Laptop, problems got resolved.
I think the Processor was not compatible to run VM’s i think.

Also one problem i find is enabling EFI mode in virtual box always throws error d404479a-1b02-41f4-a7ab-407e52b807fa-image.png
Works fine without EFI mode.

Also in dhcp service enable the policy as Fog suggestions.
Now Overall Fog server setup completed. Successfully deployed images to all models of Laptops.

Thank you

@Timmaaahh I am sorry, we can’t help you with that one. CentOS 8 is dead: https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/

I suggest you look into using the new upcoming distros like Rocky or Alma Linux. Both have migration scripts so you don’t need to start from scratch.

@julianc-0 said in Deployment won't configure all network adapters:

FOG only deploys the configuration on the network adapter that is being used while deploying. For example when connected to port 1 only that network adapter would be configured with IP-settings etc…

I don’t understand what you mean by this. Could be I am just lost in translation. You might want to post that question in your mother language.

@sebastian-roth the link you provided was super helpful. Upon compiling new ipxe binaries, I had to update the kernel version in FOG, and voila, we are now able to get these machines registered in Fog and deploy images. Thanks for the help! @george1421 Thanks as well!

@sebastian-roth said in Fog stuck on "Running post init script":

ommand does not make sense. Should be chmod -R 777 /images.
If that still does not solve your issue you

thanks for all, problem was solved by reinstalling FOG Server

@zaqen said in Create second admin fog user:

Sorry, i try this on différent server where i use fog 1.5.9, example the new users can’t delete old image.

What error do you get when you try to delete the old image?

@tramirez Try using a different hard drive to deploy to, so we can rule out hardware issues.
