Hi there. Sorry for the massive late reply - this hasn’t fixed the issue. There were no processes waiting or clogging up the system. :-z

When i type ‘fog’ and hit enter whilst on that screen, it loads for a second then reads;

[code]“Cannot read “/proc/partitions”. (No suck file or directory). Then, you must use the command line to run Partition Image. Type ‘partimage–help’ for help.” [/code]

then;

[code] You haven’t accss to /proc/mounts.[/code]

Any ideas?

The youtube video above is still happening (even when I’ve tried reformatting the laptop, re-uploading it to a new image/host - and when i try using an existing image that works on other laptops of the same make/model).

I got it to work, was an error in our autolog program, thanks for all of the help

It does not image it. It just say database updated. And computer client just reboot again.

I would like to apologize in advance for this not being in the “hardware” section, sorry!

Try the following fix:

Let us know what you come up with for the PXE boot menu wont you? I’m intrigued and interested in doing similar things.

There’s a right mixed bag of stuff going on here… hard to pinpoint problems of this nature. A thought did occur though as I was reading… what are the network interface cards on client end, and server end for that matter… and do you use any form of traffic management.

As a test, take a client machine and disable the onboard nic if thats what your using, and place in an alternative nic. Try to find one thats not the same chipset, purely so we can eliminate the nic as a cause. If the card in the server is the same you’ll need to change it also to test, and you’ll have to mess about with ip addresses etc in linux… but anyhow, should at very least eliminate it from possible causes. I have my suspicions that its not actually a software issue at least. The NICs is where I’d go looking first though.

Sorted this out, the problem was I was running the script with sudo sh ./installfog.sh

Needs to be sudo bash ./installfog.sh

Sorry, was a typo

Just discovered that FOG is ignoring setting changes in FOG System Settings. For example I changed FOG_PXE_MENU_TIMEOUT to 1 (second) and it still is starting at 5 seconds. Also tried to change FOG_PXE_MENU_HIDDEN to 1, menu still appears. Not sure how I broke all this. Again, only thing I’ve really done was installing phpMyAdmin.

You’d need to modify various things for that, probably best if someone who’s done it or uses fog like this helps.

From what I can see thinking about it, you’d need to make tftp recognise the second address as well as the first one, and you’d need to make sure your mysql and apache service was accessable from there too. I think its more of a linux service thing than actual fog. I’m sure its doable though. Sorry I cant be more specific or helpful but I’d rather let someone who can give you a conclusive answer take this one now we know what you’re trying to do 🙂

Old thread - however thought I would answer in case else stumbles across this query like I did.

Yes, you need to copy the files from the tftpboot folder on the Fog server. Connect using something like WinSCP

It had stopped there, upgrading the BIOS helped, but now it gets to 99% and has an error stating
“unable to move /images/dev/f04da2867522.000 to /images/HSLMCC (our image name)” any ideas would be great!

Thank you!

been a while since I asked this question, but I just thought i would let everyone know that cloning a blank computer with no OS works perfectly, just get the MAC from the BIOS and make sure that the imaged computer has the client to make future cloning easy and it should work without flaw. I am continually impressed by this program!!

Thank you Kevin. Can you help me

Found a solution! I needed to create a second partition, not just have one partition with everything loaded on it (Boot,Primary, etc…) then it deployed just fine.

That did it, thanks! Once I switched to Legacy Mode, made my image from that and sent it to a computer on Legacy Mode, everything worked perfectly.

Thanks for the help!
