@tom-elliott
There’s not port/cable issue. I’ve changed it and still with same error. I’m thinking this can be something with hardware/bios of this notebook (DATEN-DCM2B-4).

Does someone have another ideia?

@obscure Good job getting it to boot! As for the function of the bootcd, I can’t say. If everything is contained in the boot.wim it should be in the box so to speak. Its possible that additional files are needed that are saved on the cd image. I don’t know the the software itself only how to boot the winpe image.

I was able to resolve this by removing my prepopulated /opt/fog/.fogsettings file and going through the prompts from the installer. I suspect the line causing my issues was caCreated='yes'. I had copied this over from another installation.

@robertkwild Yes, at least by default. I don’t know how frequently we’ve had things actually usable from a partition to partition image, but typically the flow is:

Erase the Existing drive
Configure the Existing with the image partitioning schema
Write the image to the disk
(If resizable - expand partitions)
Reboot

@sebastian-roth Thanks Sebastian! That solved all issues!

@ferras said in FOG PXE menu on black screen:

However, when trying with a third computer, the menu was displayed correctly, so I assume it could be some bios setting which I will review in detail.

As Tom said some firmware is not playing with the “standards” and so you end up with the ugly black and white menu screen. There is not much we can do. Feel free to report this to the iPXE project.

Additionally, I would like to ask about the preparation of an image to apply to some of my computers, when restoring the image I realize that the Windows UUID of the master device is cloned in the other computers as well, causing me to not be able to add them to my company’s domain controller. I just dont figure out how to correct this issue.

Please open a new topic on this. Posting different questions in one topic usually ends up in misunderstanding.

@rodluz thank U. Thats what I plan on doing

@judzk sorry I just saw this and yes I also see the error.

Glad its working for you now.

I also didn’t use the powershell module.

@sebastian-roth Thanks Sebastian, great that its all good now and another great bit of info on here…

@processor you can do bat with -> /ru “System”

Thanks, that’s what I was searching for !

I did not found in the forum how to make it as valid answer, any idea?

@cizio said in Centos7 - default.ipxe no such file or directory:

What are you doing wrong?

Not sure who you mean?

Did some mess with your installer directory in /root/git/fogproject, maybe? If it’s git-based (as the name suggests) then just do a git pull. If it’s an extracted archive, then I suggest downloading and extracting it again.

@cr17373 Any update on this topic?

@davido38 have tried but the program is not able to find PE file. but nice trick

@sebastian-roth HI Sabastian, sorry buddy the answer is staring me in the face, the domain password appears to be missing.

@george1421 said in postinit script changing kernel parameter "fdrive":

AFAK you can’t edit the kernel invocation line.

@WT_101 While I think George is right on this part I can still see how you might achieve what you want to do by overwriting the fdrive variable within a postinit script. The postinit script is being sourced (ref) instead of called (subshell).

This is just from brain to keyboard and I have not done any testing. Give it a try and see…

@sebastian-roth I appreciate the response. Unfortunately none of those options resolved the issue.

I spent some time reading through those articles you linked, and I saw a lot of suggestions for disabling DMA protection. I tried it out, and that fixed it for me!

@sebastian-roth said in /bin/fog.upload doesn't exist:

mkdir /fogserver/images/dev
chmod 777 /fogserver/images/dev/
touch /fogserver/images/dev/.mntcheck
exportfs -r -v

Thanks for the help on this @Sebastian-Roth this was the fix. I also 777 .mntcheck but not sure if this is/was necessary.

@sebastian-roth
ok, add another menuentry to /tftpboot/boot/grub/grub.cfg
and add an timeout worked. But there will be a second menu to select one of the two menuentry. Not so nice, but it works.
I could not find a working chain-syntax for the grub.exe.
Embedding a grub.cfg into your core.0 binary I didnt test yet.

I saw Partclone 3.20

Yes that is the version that contains the updated code for apfs support. So it should clone apple based computers beyond getting access for the T2 chip.
