I don’t think your NIC is the issue. I use the same model of NIC in my fogserver and I do not have issues.

It is very odd the issue you are facing, please check on our discussion in your inbox.

The interface can be changed, but i believe the interface for the relevant nodes are in a text box. Does this sound correct?

If you change the interface it’s referring to, it’s likely you’ll have to restart the FOGMulticastManager service on the changed interface nodes as the php service file that sleeps and checks in as already been loaded under the other setup.

Maybe this will help?

hmmm. seemed to have worked. I moved the files over manually to /images but didnt like the image. I went and uploaded a new image. Worked then. But I had already made the dir in /images.

Ok, the solution is: do not[I] exit 0[/I] at the end of postdownloadscripts…

ok went back to 1.2.0 and works fine

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 36791, member: 7271”]Is next-server the IP of your FOG server and is filename undionly.kpxe?[/quote]
it was the “undionly.kpxe” file which was replaced by “prelinux.0.” What I do not understand is that it worked for a long time. Anyway Thanks

i have no idea what went wrong, but try running the installer again. perhaps something didn’t install correctly the first time

Sorry, I have been trying to find out. How would I access the log to copy the info? Is this done over ftp, or in the terminal.

Excellent! That is where the errant IP address was residing. I hadn’t thought to look there, thanks!

After that, the job still failed even after rebooting the server. Deleting the image and then re-creating it and restarting the task allowed this to run as it was intended. Thanks!

If only all the problems I encountered were so easily resolved. Thanks again.

Unless these are different from the ones we have, you can switch them to legacy boot. The BIOS/EFI/firmware is almost identical to that of Dell’s laptops and desktops, and it has all the same options, including legacy boot options to completely disable Secure Boot and UEFI.

Ooo, is there a handy link on how to do that?

Maybe you should change the memory_limit parameter in the php.ini.

This is a known issue with vbox. Use ipxe.pxe and all should work.

Hey guys I think I found the issue,

It says /media/fog/Images/dev/ on /images no such file or directory

Maybe I have to check if where it’s trying to save to is not correct,

Inspecting again

Thank you for replying Vincent. The classroom is used for different courses, the need for reservations is due to the requirements of a particular class. Unfortunatley it’s the only way it can be done. The OS used in the course is a custom OS, and very basic, reservations are the only way we can use the same image, but guarantee different IP addresses per machine. Beleive me its a pain in the … I have no choice but to use reservations.
Have you used the fog server as a main DHCP server and got reservations working, or do I need to install DHCP3, in which case is there a guide on how to disable Fog’s DHCP server and correctly configure DHCP3?

Thanks

Yup. That worked. Thanks, Tom!
