Another potential fix would be to try svn/trunk/dev as I believe the mbr is downloaded up to the first two megs of hdd. I don’t know if it will work but from what I’ve heard it seems to do the trick.

What is the problem? My best guess for now is the issue is dealing with nic startup?

Think of it this way.

It’s like trying to fit a quarter through a dime sized hole.

There are ways you can force the quarter through, but most times it’s simply just not going to happen.

@Wayne-Workman Can you install FOG directly from the TRUNK install? If so, I think I will start from that next time.

Yes, however, if you want to keep your host data and image data and other custom settings, you need to install 1.2.0 and then import your data, then move to trunk.

But, it might be best to start fresh.

Also, if you comment out the port=0 line in the dnsmasq config, it’s highly likely that you can have internet and fog at the same time.

@cml Well Shoot! that did it. I’m sorry I should have tried a different computer first. It’s early on a Monday here in Michigan and my brain is still mush after the weekend. Thanks again…I feel dumb lol

@Wayne-Workman said:

Do you have this area in 1.2.0 ?
FOG Configuration -> iPXE Boot Menu -> Exit to Hard Drive Type

If so, play around with that setting. Not every type is supported by every machine. The default is normally Sanboot style.

Actually, that was a good recommendation, when I changed it in the FOG admin/config http interface. Helped for some for sure! Thx

I would say specify an older kernel for those models. Try kernels earlier than 3.18 and see what you find.

For now, just using the kernel update feature is fine, but once you find some that work, you can make copies and specify the kernel for those particular hosts inside their general menu.

For what it’s worth, if it’s stuck on the black screen + “ipxe initialising devices”, undionly.kkpxe works. Our HP 4520s have the Realtek NICs which have this issue.

@Frode-Woldsund It’s not a big deal. People come here for help / advice / to tell others things…

and the people that hang here are willing to give help and listen lol.

@brizio Can you clear the multicastSessions, multicastSessionsAssoc, and tasks tables?

The tasks I only want you to clear the multicast jobs.

A mysql statement to do these things would be:

TRUNCATE TABLE multicastSessions; TRUNCATE TABLE multicastSessionsAssoc; DELETE FROM tasks WHERE taskTypeID=8;

My guess, from an earlier revision, a multicast session didn’t clear properly. Because of the non-clearing, a few hosts linked to the wrong Job and the others, who had no prior setting stored in the DB, created their own session.

Again, this is just a guess, as I really don’t know what actually caused this to happen.

I’m working on a “Troubleshoot Multicast” article that has commands more friendly to Red-Hat based distros… aparently the truncate commands don’t work in Fedora 22… so… Here you go:

@Wayne - I just tested out using snp.efi and that solution seems to have worked! I am uploading an image of our surface pro 3 as I write this.

With an option that we can active or not, like bitcoin mining

@no1bossman

That’s quite the old article, last updated in 2012 (things move fast around here).

Where it talks about IDE, it’s referring to hosts. Hosts being what you would build your image on, and upload from.

Some people really like building their images inside of a virtualized environment… I don’t get it, really. You can’t see how the image is performing on the actual hardware that it’s going on… You can’t ensure the boot time and log-in time are acceptable. You can’t ensure your drivers WILL work when you NEED to image. And de-fragmenting within a virtual host is questionable… And what about the FOG Client Service timing? That’s a big issue with the legacy client…

Maintaining an image per each model of computer you maintain is the absolute best way to ensure a flawless deployment - without bloating your image with a ton of software and drivers that it doesn’t need…

Personally, I’ll never create images on a virtual host if I can help it.

Try to turn off secure boot.

@Bill-Rice Hi, SPP and Smart Boot iso are on torrent or direct download : duckduckgo, or yahoo, or google , or other…

What was the result of this?>

I have an issue when uploading as image form a Sony viao it get stuck on “using hard disk /dev/sda”

I have a new 1.2 installation and im able to upload and deploy other computers fine.

reported upstream to ipxe project.

I attach two screenshots ([URL=‘http://fog.tonicapablo.es/imagenes/Screenshot1.jpg’]1[/URL] and [URL=‘http://fog.tonicapablo.es/imagenes/Screenshot2.jpg’]2[/URL]), showing the problem. I think that the issue is when shows “Illegal Instruction” and then tries to image.

Installing on a Mac is possible, but I would never do it personally. It’d actually be easier to just install it on RHEL or CentOS or Fedora.

I’ve written very intensely detailed installation on Fedora 21 workstation, you’ll find it in the WiKi.

The VM’s do need updated. I think everyone’s holding off on that till 1.3.0 is released. That release is sort of going to be a mile-stone for FOG.
