Tom,

Thank you for your time. This request is finished and resolved. Corrected the information in the Fog Settings. If I had to guess the admin at the time forgot the FOG password and create another account. I just got the “Your new FOG kernel has been installed” message. I will still do some pulls and puts of known images for my comfort. For the issue that initiated this issue I will test kernels and open a new thread if needed.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 26225, member: 7271”]The kernel you’re loading is not correct.

Currently my kernels are 3.14.2,

The Kernel being reported in the snapshot is 2.6.39.1_FOG_CORE

Are you sure you’re following the instructions properly?[/quote]

So I reran the config I tried earlier from the links I posted and its working now, appreciate the help!
Issue resolved. i look forward to your new projects .33

Current Config Is:

-Ubuntu 10.04 (12 and 14 would not work for me with the whole UDPCast issue, even updating it to 20120424 version pre-install. It kept failing on UDCCast Setup and Configure so I ended up on ver 10.04)
-Fog 0.32 (latest I could find)

Also not all 500GB drives are equal…

I’ve had some HDDs error out because they are probably a few bytes short of the others.

If your not sysprepping or you don’t want to do it with sysprep, look up DISKPART and it’s Extend command.

[quote=“David Schneider, post: 26216, member: 23828”]A request that I got for the machines is that the machine cannot be booted up after imaging the laptops. I don’t know why he just said that they need to be on the domain for the laptop to be loaded up. What I did was took his sysprepped .gho image sent to me on a thumb drive and loaded one of the laptops. After loading the laptop I pulled the image off of it using fog. He just want to be sure that the laptops get shutdown after imaging not booted up to the my sysprep screen. Something there gets corrupted if the initial settings are done off of the Domain.[/quote]

Are the machines you are imaging suppose to be part of a domain? if that is no longer required, I would disable these settings before pushing the image to FOG.

I kind of gathered that you are using a .gho image and loading it to the laptop, did you boot the laptop to windows before you pushed it to FOG?

Windows has a process called Sysprep that generalizes the installation so it can be pushed to mulitple machines, if you allowed the laptop to boot after it was imaged and before it was uploaded to fog… Delete your image store, load the .GHO image to a laptop but DO NOT BOOT IT, instead set up a task on the server for an image upload. After the process completes, try to push your image to the laptops.

[quote=“tjd230, post: 26180, member: 23826”]I did all of that. Just to be sure, I am doing a re-image of one of the machines that failed over the weekend.[/quote]

Nope, still broken. I cannot wrap my head around why this isn’t working.

Change your Option 67 from pointing to pxelinux.0 to undionly.kpxe as we’ve since moved to iPXE for booting. pxelinux.0 is no longer used.

It’s all good.

[code]ln -s /var/www/fog /var/www/html/fog[/code] in case anybody really needs to know again.

Thank you.

I will try that now.

Toast,

mysql appears to NOT be working in your situation.

How do you know mysql works? The “It works!” page is not a mysql issue, that’s telling you apache is working fine. The “Unable to connect to Database” shows you that the DATABASE is actually the issue.

Did you try the commands I gave you and it’s not working?

SQL Database.

You be the man cause I’m out of a jam…:)

Personally I only use the menu for joining new machines to FOG, after that I do everything from the webUI unless I need the debug menu.

And even now i’m not using that as much thanks to PDQ Invntory, I just export the machines from there into FOG.

I normally append a sudo to every command that installs, or edits, you will usually need the root permissions to complete the actions properly.

if you run a command and ti doesn’t work because you for got to sudo you can use what is called a Bang Bang to recall your last command and just put sudo in front of it.

For example:
[code]
ln -s var/www/fog /var/www/html/fog[/code]

Would fail, you need root privileges to move things to that folder, or you have to be an owner of that folder.
so to re run the command with the terminal still open you can either press the up arrow and scroll back to the beginning and type sudo, which sometimes is the best bet. Sometimes I make errors when my fingers get excited and type isntall 😛

or you can use the BangBang
[code]
sudo !![/code]

There are others this is just easiest.

Issue was:

TFTP Server Settings were set incorrectly.

[code]# DHCP Server Configuration file.

see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample This file was created by FOG

use-host-decl-names on;
ddns-update-style interim;

Please use 0.33 and report any issues.

we have moved to partclone for compatibility reasons. you do not want to use partimage for new images.

Its seemed like a silly thing that all the passwords must be the same 🙂 but it actually worked … After changing all the passwords everything works like it should !!! god dam it !

Thank you Neil, it just makes it easier for people to copy paste and such.
