When you select an option from the PXE menu, such as Full Host Registration and Inventory, FOG always uses the default bzImage. After a host is registered, you can specify which kernel to use for all tasks created and scheduled through the FOG web UI. If you have to manage multiple bzImage files for compatibility reasons, use the “Host kernel” setting for each host to specify the kernel that works best for that system. You can also group hosts, and update all host kernel settings for particular group of hosts. Just remember that groups in FOG 0.32 are a bit unusual. They are used for changing settings on all hosts in the group, but will not show your existing group settings.

The only method, I know of, to check the kernel version is to boot a system in debug mode and run the command:
[code]uname -rm[/code]
This command will tell you what version and architecture the kernel is in. As it’s FOG 0.32, most likely the kernel arch is 32 bit (x86) but I can’t give you much more. However, I wouldn’t think you would need to go through all of that. If you know a kernel that works in one place, why not just rsync or ftp that kernel to all the other sites directly. As you stated, it works in one place, but not another, it’s obviously due to the kernel’s NOT being the same. At least that’s how I’m seeing it.

Run the new installer.

WOW, okay so if I start to image the VM with Server 2012 then cancel it, change the image back to 2008 R2 and then re deploy, it images…

[quote=“Petrus4, post: 25133, member: 23409”]still no luck. may have to backup and re-install the server. What is the best Ubuntu OS version to install 0.32 on?[/quote]

I use 10, 11, 12, 13 all seem to be good and stable… I would stay away from the older versions though as they are no longer in development.

I prefer the gnome desktop variant opposed to that Unity crap! Of course that is preference 🙂

Not a problem I knew it had to be a windows something. I use Windows XP to host my virtual software, I don’t face this problem 😉

this what help me to understand

Ultimately, this is a modern FOG, so I’d recommend a modern OS level for 0.33.

It really doesn’t matter which OS, though I’ve really only tested thoroughly on CentOS as that’s what I run at home. I’ve performed a few installs on Ubuntu and Debian so far, and others have done so on Mageaia (or however it’s spelled). It seems to work well from what I have seen, on all systems.

Yes it did; thank you!

I back all of the images to another FOG server using rsync; worked very well via crontabs

[CODE]sudo rsync -azvv -e ssh root@192.168.248.113:/images/HP* /images/[/CODE]

You have to ssh at least ONCE to the source FOG so that the certificate gets added; then it works with no interaction

Thanks for replying, but I don’t think this is the case. The rest of the computers are all on the blue screen that says “Please wait”, which comes after the “Checking in…” screen. It seems to me that this issue is related to another thread I posted a while ago: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-host-registration-hangs.10247/[/url]

I’ve looked at the actual code, and the thing is, FOG seems to get stuck trying to do a mysql_connect() call sometimes. I’ve increased the MySQL MAX_CONNECTIONS setting to 1000 from 100, which was the default, but I haven’t had any luck in solving this particular issue.

Try the command
[code]sed ‘s:&$tmp:$tmp:g’ -i /var/www/fog/management/includes/tasks.confirm.include.php[/code]

I tried the two ideas on the wiki. I also tried changing the ownership of the folders with no luck. I will try what you just suggested and see what happens.

Thanks

Kernel’s have all been updated.

32bit : [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage32[/url]
64bit : [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/url]

Files from drop down menu in 0.33b also reflect this.

My kernel configs are also updated to reflect the changes.

Sorry for spam, but the “edit” popup remains blank … 😞

I was reading this article : [url]http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/15458-uefi-bootable-usb-flash-drive-create-windows.html[/url]
that drove me to [url]http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2328-uefi-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-install-windows-8-a.html[/url]
well it doesn’t work 😞

Glad we got you back on track!

It’s hard for me to step away from FOG, I’m just so pleased with it and the direction we are heading, I’m just trying to get some others interested as well 🙂

Arg… was in a rush… nevermind the PHP notices, a minor php.ini modification fixes those.

However, there is a bug in that FOG does not display the available snapins unless you “search snapins” and type a * in the field (to show all snapins) or start typing the name of a snapin.

Thanks

Glad you got it sorted!!!

Yep, that was my problem I used the username fog on the Ubuntu box and it wrecked the whole thing. I did a clean install (for the practice) and used a different username other than fog and it worked perfectly.

using 0.32 yes, i do now remember reading that 0.33 was 64bit and 0.32 was 32bit just never clicked till now.

Anyway that solved the problem with this model, and a Dell Optiplex 760!
