[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 23986, member: 7271”]Do me a favor and remove the cd from the drive and try again.

Something tells me the image it captured is from the drive itself, rather than your actual hard drive, though I don’t know why it would. Can you try using my kernel as I don’t allow it to read the cd drive at all, this should mean you don’t have to worry about sr0 trying to load as a viable drive.[/quote]

Also, as I see you are a developer, all of the PCs I am going to deploy to (as well as the reference machine) are UEFI… Will this cause an issue with a partion image or should I DD them to make sure UEFI data remains untouched? They are all Compaq 6200 pro boxes and I have found there is no way to set PXE as a default boot option when EFI is in play, they will not boot to windows wihout the EFI windows boot manager source being selected and network is only in the legacy section which cannot be prefered over EFI source :-[

.32 doesn’t like to back fill information, if you made the host BEFORE you entered the AD information under fog settings you will need to copy paste it into the hosts. Any hosts you create going forward will have this information filled in.

You could also delete the hosts and rejoin them to FOG.

Make sure if you do this to select “y” for “Would you like to join this host to AD using default info?”

Have you tried running a quick inventory on the 9 hosts that did not show up? Running a quick inventory or doing a “Full host integration” will load the host into inventory. Quick joins will not.

This isn’t a kernel issue at all, as the Services (GreenFOG, TaskReboot, etc…) don’t do anything with the kernel/linux layer of the FOG system.

The only one that, might possibly, have anything to do with the kernel is the Task scheduling shutdown, but even that I’d be hard pressed to believe.

I think this issue is more related to the way the shutdown command for the task cycle is read. I don’t know much about 0.32’s init.gz file but it may be trying to see shutdown as either 0 or 1, but the shutdown sent when creating a task is set as shutdown=on. I could be wrong and will take a look for you.

Delete the 01-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx file from the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ folder. The x’s will be replaced with that system’s MAC adddress.

definately, that’s the easy setup if you can tell dhcp to just point to a different TFTP server for the PXE part.

try setting the image type to “windows xp”.

Dual boot upload has worked in the past.

If this fails, use the RAW disk type.

Agreed, worse comes to worse, also check the apache error logs during startup as it is referencing php files.

It is a good idea to create master images on “tiny” drives and have either a script resize the final (or OOBE in windows do it). I always create my golden images in a VM with jsust enough HDD space to do what I want (I expand the drive if the image gets bigger). That way you can use whatever size final drive you like.

You can always script extra partition creation too. I have a script that resizes and creates an extra partition and moves a folder into that partition for my W7 images. That way I can use smaller drives as appropriate.

It seems my old kk20 account was deleted for being a “spammer”. Great as I had quite a few fixes posted under that username (from when I installed fog) and had never spammed in my life… oh well.

anyway I am revisiting this as I have moved my FOG to a new server and came up with the same error, luckily someone had “quoted” my original fix so I could look in the post_stage2.php file for changes I made (and I had commented them! yey!). Here is the change I made to post_stage2.php

this line:

[B]$dest = $noderoot . $_GET[“to”];[/B]

I changed to

[B] $dest = “/raid6/data/FOG/” . $_GET[“to”];[/B]

It seemed that the $noderoot was somehow incorrect for me. No idea why as it was only the final FTP that failed for me. Anyway, after hard coding my FTP location (not ideal but I needed a quick fix rather than a debug) this works fine for me and has done for years.

for information, /raid6/data/FOG is my listed NFS share in FOG (which also has FTP share enabled in openfiler). I have no idea why the $noderoot does not work yet everything else does. Anyway, that single change in post_stage2.php fixed my final FTP issue (so no more manual image moving necessary!)

Well, went back to the drawing board. Created a new VirtualBox server running Ubuntu 10.04 and installed Fog 0.32. Having run the install again, I realized that I had to have deviated from the standard installation instructions at least twice over username/password instances. Noting this, I did a trial run and was able to successfully do everything PXE-related (Memtest, Register, etc.). I followed the instructions for Uploading an image and was able to do so on the 1st try.

With this success in hand, I went back to the physical server and removed Fog following the instructions here:
[url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Uninstall_FOG[/url]

Reinstalled Fog on physical server and voila! Happy image uploading. 🙂

well, without LVM, no, if you have a separate dir… it’s gonna get annoying for NFS… and using a storage node is probably not a good idea.
But copying data over to the LV, then umounting /images, remounting the LV on /images, then lvextending, that’s less than a minute of downtime if done properly… 🙂

I can now register and uploading an image seems to be working but it’s going very slowly. After about an hour, it’s only 5% uploaded where normally we would be close to half way.

When will .33 be available for upgrade?

Yep,

I’ll bet it’s in GPT as I stated before.

sorted it thanks guys, Stopped the WDS service for a starting. Then realised I had the DNS server setting in fog set incorrectly. Rebuilt Linux and reinstalled Fog correctly (

This is a known issue with tftp-hpa service and Ubuntu 12.04.

Horray! It works perfect.

Thanks!

Found some software on the master for making recovery discs. Sorry for not looking for this sooner, I’m looking over the mountain instead of at the base.

If these work, I may remake the image quickly on the second to have an image.
Still wondering what Panasonic has on these causing fog to think the File Table is corrupt.

Thank you Tom.

Also, almost relevant for how I feel:
