  I too have the exact same issue. I just remove the card, ghost it, and then install the card after the system is up and running. A pain, but a working solution for now. We have 2 (110 units) generations of systems in our organization that have this video card, so a solution would be awesome!

  Jian Zhang- Unfortunately, 3.8.8 still fails on the disk check. However! I created by own kernel using the linux kernel 3.9rc8 with core and it works! I followed some instructions from this post: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/hard-disk-not-found-lenovo.4159/#post-11290[/url]

  Ok, I forgot to to put the MAC-address of the laptop into the same network as FOG. So the laptop wasn’t able to receive the image. :oops: Sorry…

  Sorry not sure how to do that. I was wondering if it is possible to just insert the drivers straight into the Fog pxe kernel, like it is possible using Windows Deployment Toolkit to insert drivers into the Win PE image? I am only guessing that the "ioctl"error means no network drivers.

  Is your fog server on the same network as your workstations to be imaged? I got confused when you responded with the bandwidth of your Internet service. He was asking for your network. The internal network and the devices that run it. Like a router, switch or hub(has nothing to do with the internet service). Ask your system admin if you have a 10MB network, a 100MB network, a 1GB network or a 10GB network. That should give us the info to help answer your question.

  I recall I had the same problem with an earlier Acer product, however, I upgraded to 3.3.3 kernel, and it worked fine. If I knew which “switch” needed to be done on the kernel, I may be able to compile it.

  Thanks for your reply. The problem appears during unicast. But It wasn’t a switch problem but a problem with the client Broadcom NIC driver in the kernel. I compiled a new kernel with a different NIC driver and everything works now.

  Well I uploaded and re-imaged first a HP t5710 thin client which has 512MB flash drive. It took 106 sec to upload the image and 204 secs to download the image to it. I was at first a little disappointed with the rates until I thought about the performance of the T5710 flash drive itself. Next I uploaded an image from the wife’s desktop 640MB drive running Vista of which she is using about 225MB. The image upload speed with the Pogoplug/WD Elements system yielded a average transfer rate of 941 MiB/min or about 15.68 MiB/sec; so it took about 4 hours to upload the image. After I ran these tests, I remembered that one of the switches between the Fog server and these two system is only 100M not gigabit so there maybe even better performance when using all gigabit network end to end. This may not be a screaming eagle, but it is not bad either, for a minimal Pogoplug/USB drive system; which costs $112 (Drive=$89, USB Stick $8 and Pogoplug $15) I have a 2TB Fog server which consumes low power. I am a happy camper!!! Thank you folks for your wonderful work!!!

  The kernel published in my previous post does not work for me. I may be doing something wrong, but it did not work on three different computers I tried to PXE boot. I found this driver that is not upstream yet but this is for the Qualcom/Atheros ALX series. [url]http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-3-stable/[/url] It appears that this is for the 3.6.x series kernel. I’m going to download this kernel and compile it with the latest driver listed on the link above. Wish me luck… EDIT: well crap, I have to look up how to compile this module into the new kernel. More later… I also did find that, under ubuntu, there is the “wireless-compat” package(s) which may contain alx drivers. [quote=“yogipaolo, post: 10395, member: 61”]Another reason why I love this community. I might be using a slightly different gigabyte mobo than you, but your board is likely to have a qualcom/atheros ar8161/8165 chip in it. This chip apparently is bluttooth as well as lan. A kind soul has posted this link with a direct link to a bzimage download: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/dell-2330-all-in-one-network-issue.1054/#post-8470[/url] I’m going to try this. I’m also busily compililng a 3.7.5 kernel for the hell of it. I’m going to see if I can use it as an alternative kernel. FOG has the ability to boot specific kernels for specific hosts (I think). This is configurable under host management >> host kernel[/quote]

  Unless you’re in a very demanding environment I feel like it would be wasted. If it’s just a matter of load balancing then I’d suggest setting up storage nodes. There are very few circumstances in which I would expect 10Gb to be the only option. In the follow scenario your bottleneck is probably the HDD: [COLOR=#999999]HDD[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]–SATA3–[/COLOR] [B]Server[/B] [COLOR=#339966]–1Gb–[/COLOR] [B]Swtich[/B] [COLOR=#339966]–1Gb–[/COLOR] [B]Client[/B] [COLOR=#ff0000]–SATA3–[/COLOR] [COLOR=#999999]HDD[/COLOR] In the follow scenario your bottleneck is probably the 1Gb: [COLOR=#800080]SSD[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]–SATA3–[/COLOR] [B]Server[/B] [COLOR=#339966]–1Gb–[/COLOR] [B]Swtich[/B] [COLOR=#339966]–1Gb–[/COLOR] [B]Client[/B] [COLOR=#ff0000]–SATA3–[/COLOR] [COLOR=#800080]SSD[/COLOR] In the follow scenario your bottleneck is probably still the 1Gb: [COLOR=#800080]SSD[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]–SATA3–[/COLOR] [B]Server[/B] [COLOR=#0000ff]–10Gb–[/COLOR] [B]Swtich[/B] [COLOR=#339966]–1Gb–[/COLOR] [B]Client[/B] [COLOR=#ff0000]–SATA3–[/COLOR] [COLOR=#800080]SSD[/COLOR] In the follow scenario your bottleneck is probably the SSD, although you might have reached the 6Gb limit for SATA3: [COLOR=#800080]SSD[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000]–SATA3–[/COLOR] [B]Server[/B] [COLOR=#0000ff]–10Gb–[/COLOR] [B]Swtich[/B] [COLOR=#0000ff]–10Gb–[/COLOR] [B]Client[/B] [COLOR=#ff0000]–SATA3–[/COLOR] [COLOR=#800080]SSD[/COLOR] Without upgrading the network connections all the way to the client, the only performance increase you would see from using 10Gb on the server side is from concurrent imaging tasks, which you could easily get by using storage nodes to load balance the tasks.

  Hello Jian and Chad, I am again facing one problem in [B]Think Station S30[/B] machine. Below is the scenario… SATA0–> 500gb HDD --> Total 2 Partitions ([COLOR=#ff0000]1st Partition Windows XP[/COLOR] and [COLOR=#0000ff]2nd Partition Windows 7[/COLOR]) SATA1–> 1TB HDD-- Blank Disk Now I Uploaded the image by selecting [COLOR=#800080][B]Multiple Partition - All Disks. [/B][COLOR=#141414] Image uploaded successfully.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#800080][COLOR=#141414]Now when I deployed the image on same model machine, below is the scenario.[/COLOR][/COLOR] SATA0–> 500gb HDD --> Blank Disk SATA1–> 1TB HDD-- Total 2 Partitions (1st Partition Windows XP and 2nd Partition Windows 7) Not getting why fog had swapped the hard disk while deploying the image. I don’t know weather the problem is with Machine or the options I am selecting. Can anyone please help me. I have a stock of 200 machines pending due to this issue. Thanks,
