hmm, so you are working fine now or it still doesn’t allow you to register/deploy/etc? The issue you just mentioned where you would select an item and then it would go right back to the menu is exactly what I was seeing for most menu options on a particular dell laptop (E5420). The menu options for loading iso’s would start to load and then either go back to the menu or occasionally give me some memory error. I had 4GB of memory installed and the ISO was only around 100MB so I knew it couldn’t be a lack of memory and I tried different sticks and putting it in a different slot (ironically all the memory for these laptops was installed in slot 2 and slot 1 was empty). After trying different kernels/pxelinux/memdisk versions I stumbled across a different BIOS version on Dell’s website listed for the model and that worked. The PITA is that the version was newer (A09) than what they had listed in the downloads section for the laptop, I had to click A08 and then another link listing other versions to see the latest which worked like a charm.

Well I came across
sudo stop tftpd-hpa
sudo start tftpd-hpa

Which I tried previously and did not work, but now under my new circumstances it does work and I am now able to PXE boot and am currently uploading an image!

Anyhow through there were no responses to this thread, I want to say thanks to all the other threads out there for helping me so far!

Having the same problem with the same netbook, NB510.
Tried Eric’s kernel, still same problem.

Any help appreciated, need to get these imaged asap!

EDIT: Also tried the core 3.3.3 kernel.
Ran the ‘fog compatability’ test from ‘Client information’ on the pxe menu which said network drivers failed.
Building custom 3.6.1 now with extra drivers now to test that.

Didnt work with 3.6.1 however I think I have found the driver needed to make this work, but im unsure of how to add/patch the driver to the source code before building bzImage.

Can anyone help?

As this is down to the network module not being loaded can someone move this thread to Hardware?

FIXED:
[url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/dell-2330-all-in-one-network-issue.1054/#post-9005[/url] Someone compiled ALX drivers into the kernel last week 😄

They are just different kernels built on different linux kernel versions. They have different drivers built into the kernel.

You can get them from here:
[url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/Kernels/[/url]
Here is a link that show how to switch between them:

Here is list of kernels that work well for various computer models:

THIS IS WHAT I 'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR! Everything works perfect after this!

ok, read up on capone and it seems like the right thing.

trying to get a master image from a pc, but i get screen resulotion problems - tried to updat the kernel trough the web managment - but i get a error, after “moving file to tftp” “ERROR:unable to connect to tftp server”

[quote=“oneblot, post: 8904, member: 1063”]I have a similar setup and there are a couple of things to try.

1, find the file called /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server
Change the line [I][COLOR=#ff0000]INTERFACES"“[/COLOR][/I] to [I][COLOR=#ff0000]INTERFACES"eth0”[/COLOR][/I]
[COLOR=#000000] Edit the connection setting of eth0. Under IPv4 settings tick connect Automatically and set it to manual[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000] Enter IP address and netmask of the fog server[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]2, From a terminal type[/COLOR]
[I][COLOR=#000000] sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart[/COLOR][/I][COLOR=#000000] - this will restart the dhcp server[/COLOR]

[I][COLOR=#000000] sudo service tftpd-hpa restart - this will restart the tftp service[/COLOR][/I]

[COLOR=#000000]I find that these two commands both need to be run when the fog server is switched on especially if there is nothing connected to it via ethernet cable.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000000]Give it a go and see it it works it did for me.[/COLOR][/quote]
I had the exact same issue and this helped a bundle. Thanks for the posts guys! Saved me alotta time!

I’ll take a look and see if I’ve got one going bad. Thanks

Thanks Chad i actually fixed that issue, i re found the post that i used to fix that issue almost two years ago. It was two lines of code in the config.php file. But i another issue when i try to push the image down to a client pc. i get access denied. I ve try the chmod 777 on the folder where the images are at, and tried another i dont remember the cmd off hand. i think it was “chown -R fog:root” or some thing like that. i tested the ./mntcheck cmd on the folder and i cant touch it, but when im a root user i can. Also i ve check the user account and password in the UI settings to make sure they match, im all out of ideas. see below of the error i get. thanks in advance for your help.[ATTACH=full]175[/ATTACH]

Another quick question -

I have found the following in the management console - FOG_PROXY_IP and FOG_PROXY_PORT. Are these settings just for the server or will they filter down to the client aswell?

Nobody can give me little help

Even with the snowy screen, they still image.

Solved…Multiple partition imaging works when using the original init.gz file, however, if replaced with the noreg.gz file, which I was using (not realizing)…it does not work. Also, make sure that the original pxelinus.cfg has not be corrupted, as this caused the noreg file to still load even after rolling-back changes.

On to multicasting.

Hello
I’m using fog recently, I have several different machines and works on all Boards as put an image by fog.
But I have computers with Asus P5QL-E boards that do not work.
How do I schedule the task with otros computers, it starts to detect the fog, but when he begins to put the picture of the fog reaches 1% and goes down.
Do not know if it’s some setting in the Board, already tried everything and I’m not understand where this problem.

I am going to assume no one is able to help me with this and mark it as closed as I have taken recommendations found on other threads and changed down to ubuntu 10.04 and fog 0.29

I went into VPN Connections and deleted the existing wired network.
I then entered an IP address that matched the network version
192.168.127.181, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.127.1
I did not set up a DNS entry.

The computer after a reboot found 192.168.127.177 as an IP address after reviewing the connection settings. I could not access the Fog system at all.
