This seems to be problematic.

I have had the same issues with Acronis and turned to Fog for a solution.

The trouble is that I can’t get Fog to image these machines either.

See attached.

Basically it fails as FOG fails to recognise the BIOS etc.

Is there a work around in Fog?

Hi thanks for the replies,

The issue was eventually figured out. It was a hardware issue with the initial laptop. Just happened to be the first of a batch of laptops to be opened and it had a failed hard drive. Was not something we had been expecting. It was only after creating the FOG server a few times that we decided to try a different laptop.

Chad-bisd is right that you need to disable secure boot. And Kelly is right about having to set the laptop from UEFI to Legacy.

I have discovered the problem. I had all the BIOS settings correct for wake on LAN to work, but there is a deep sleep setting in Power management in BIOS that needs to be disabled. With this feature enabled your NIC card is not active and will not see any WOL signals.

Although, when i go to the advanced menu and just issue the Wake command. The computer will wake up and go through the FOG PXE boot menu, but doesn’t boot from the SSD that these machines have. Could this be a kernel issue?

Works great on proxmox 3.0 (ubuntu 12.04) 😄
Successful upload and download Dell 3010 image 🆒

Hi,

please try this kernel:

It has the HP Smart Array Controller driver included.
Good Luck!

Thank you for all your help I found the awnser in my debug menu
I had a second DHCP server (router) giving out address and for sum reson it over wrote the fog server.
When I turned of the router the d2560 Registers and backup as well
Thanks again for all your help.

JUst one more question when I greate a task for cloning a drive where does it greate a log of all the images that was uploaded
not just the deployed ones ?

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!

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 have the same model, Vostro 3460, and see the same issue. Did you ever get it resolved?

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.

OK, mess up on my part. I reread Art’s post. It appears to be working now.

Thank You.

any one have any suggestions.[/quote]
solution for me was to use multiple partition single disk image. ssd’s have a hidden partition.

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.
