Here is a step by step for rhel 6 distros
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6074/extending-a-file-system-on-redhat-base-distros

@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, updated to latest git release now and indeed its working again. I did only update a few days ago after your last fix re the flashing issue.

regards Kiweegie.

@jimmmmmmah We need people like you who try out the most current version of FOG and report bugs. Otherwise we wouldn’t be able to find and fix all the issues. Please give it another go and hopefully we can figure things out together. See my first answer on where to find the apache error log file.

From my point of view it’s not a bug. Save to ignore. There is no stable build newer than 1.2.0 at the moment. But Tom has reworked the scripts and you are more than welcome to upgrade to the latest trunk and test things.

@Wayne-Workman roger that. Appreciate the input.

@george1421 That might work for getting imaging done in UEFI mode for this weird hardware, but I think that @tj.krause 's original problem is simply an exit to HDD issue in BIOS network booting mode. The OS is installed under UEFI / GPT but the network boot is Legacy - and things are not jiving.

@Scott-B right but you don’t have anything in the advanced items. There is the login and it is working fine. But the advanced menu is its own configuration setting that you put your needs in.

Ah… okay. I thought that was just called from fog.advancedlogin.

@Hanz inits do not rely on the fog client (hostname changer, printer manager, etc…) for booting the host. While it is possible to load ipxe https it is not enforced nor would I recommend it either.

I don’t know what issues you were having or why but if you rebooted the host after re running the installer the only guess I would have is the inits were not finished downloading when the host was trying to use the files.

For now I’m going to solve this thread as I’m fairly sure it is fixed after running the installer.

@Wayne-Workman no it wouldn’t matter. Beyond that the links go into mobile not the reverse so this would not have any impact unless you were going into mobile.

After capturing images from multiple machines, it looks like this issue is due to an incompatible BIOS in these old Dell machines.
I guess this issue can be marked solved…
Thanks for your help everyone

I found it and increase to 512 and is working fine. Thanks

I bumped my php config up to 2GB for the similar issue with inventory blank screens. Overkill, maybe, but the server has 12GB and is only for FOG.

@Wayne-Workman yes, I have looked at this however I am not experiencing this inits… issue. Yet it is clear some are.

the only issue i experienced was the system failing to gain access to the ftp. but then i realized during the setup after lines (What is the storage location for your images directory? (/images)

Setting password for FOG User…OK New password set for:
username: xxx
password: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

i then figured out that it assighned me totally new creditials i needed to input in the storage and tftp settings and wala back at smotth operating.

Found and fixed.

Thanks for reporting.

@Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, I’ve updated my old server during few month, and never seen that option. I’m on a fresh install, and I’ve not checked that 😛

I was not…and that worked like a dream!

Thank you so much!

@Scott-B Just get rid of those…

Backup your DB first. FOG Configuration -> Configuration Save -> Export

For an individual:

update inventory set iOtherTag='' where iID=1972;

For everything:

update inventory set iOtherTag='' where iOtherTag like '%\\\\\\\\\\\\\\%';

Thank you, that cleaned up the list very well.

@Wayne-Workman I get that and I used describe userTracking. There is no utID or utHostID equal to 0 in the table userTracking.

I ran

select * from userTracking where utHostID = 0;

It returns Empty set.

I also checked to see if there was a utID of 29025280 since that is the row its referencing and it returns Empty set too. I realize now that the page number changes since users are logging in constantly on my site.

Just emptied that table. the data in it wasn’t relavent to me and I turned off the usertracking service for the time being too. The error is gone now. However, a machine that has been in FOG for a very long time has changed its ID to zero now. Not sure how or why but it did. It is also no longer listed in the host lists on the website but I know it was this summer when I imaged the thing.

@Hanz Thx I’ll test, I’m on 5360

Hi @Tom-Elliott
Yup all good to close this one as resolved.
Thanks for your awesome work!
