  @Steve_BBA You did find one of the limitations with memdisk, in that the iso image has to fit in the 32 bit address space and have enough space left over to run what ever kernels is on the iso image. The other limitation you will have with memdisk is that its bios mode only. There isn’t an equivalent boot environment for uefi AFAIK. But well done getting it worked out. From your initial error message was that it can’t find the initrd to boot from. This is me just guessing but I don’t see a kernel parameter in the imgargs that points to your initrd image. Also be aware that the format you used in your initial post isn’t sufficient for uefi booting. You need to use the -n <file_name> option for each line. ref: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10944/using-fog-to-pxe-boot-into-your-favorite-installer-images/10

  @aborn said in Images are created with 777 (world writable file rights) and owner root on CentOS 7: I inserted the proposed new line now in the fog.postinit script This is at the wrong point in time. We can use a postinit script to fix things before things happen. Current a postdeploy script will handle actions after an image is install on the target computer. What we need is a postcapture script to handle things after the image has been captured but before the image is moved from /images/dev to /images. Once the image has been captured we will use a postcapture script to reset the permissions and file ownership of the captured directory so that the FTP process can move it as fog. I can see the process in my head clearly. We just need to patch the fog.capture (guessing at name) script to make the call to a postcapture script. We should be able to mimic what is done for a postdeploy script. It shouldn’t be that hard to do, then we’ll use a postinit script to copy the patch fog.capture script to FOS before it starts doing its thing.

  @abulhol Fixed in working branch, will be in the next release. Let’s see if we are able to get this out in time so people upgrading their servers from 16.04 to 18.04 won’t run into the same issue as you did.

  @lucycle I used to have an issue with some Realtek cards behaving weird and throwing errors in IPXE and later in the boot process, but it’s been a while. With these two HP models and an integrated Realtek card I had to use a different boot firmware, long shot but maybe you can try that? HP210 Legacy Test pxe-service=tag:HP210,X86PC, “HP-210 Working”, realtek.kpxe HP430 UEFI Test pxe-service=tag:HP430,X86-64_EFI, “HP 430”, realtek.efi @lucycle said in NFS over TCP not available from x.x.x.x: In my case the driver in question was dm9601.ko and I also compiled it into my initrd.img which did not fix the issue and behavior persists. I’ve added another USB dongle, this time a Lenovo 2.0 Ethernet Adapter based on the asix driver, however it didn’t work, then I checked with modinfo and noticed I was missing a dependency (usbnet.ko) modinfo asix .... depends: mii,usbnet modinfo usbnet filename: /lib/modules/4.15.0-34-generic/kernel/drivers/net/usb/usbnet.ko Just to be sure, you said initrd.img, I added it to initrd.lz That’s about all I’ve got to suggest at this point

  @Boyan-Biandov yes, but I prefer to use the working branch because it uses Ubuntu’s PHP7.2, which makes it more compatible with other software.

  Hello Sebastian! Just realized my response stayed as a draft for this long. Thank you so much for this very useful pieces of advice. I will look into that. To be honnest, scripting was on my list of skills to develop and improve on a short term scale and that is the perfect occasion to do so! I shall get back to you when I have moved forward enough. Regards.

  @george1421 Great you’ve been helping out so much here and figured it all out. @mstumpo Marking this solved as I think the initial question(s) is/are solved. Please feel free to open new topics as you run into new issues. Good to keep topics clean so other people can find this and profit from the answers as well (details not lost in a 5 page topic).

  Solved Network 'Bonding' with FOG ?

  First let me say that FOG will not work as you have it defined. FOG will only image using a single IP address on the FOG server. Your FOG server can have more than one network interface but will only image using a single IP address. I know I’m mixing what I’m saying. FOG does support network bonding (using two or more physical network interfaces to add additional lanes of bandwidth). But those bonded interfaces MUST have a single IP address assigned. And typically the bonded interfaces go to a single network switch. Your drawing appears you want a multi-homed FOG server (multi-homed means multiple network interfaces each with their own IP address). That is not supported for FOG imaging.

  Thanks again for your reply. Still no joy. I’ve recopied the contents of the 18.04.1 LTS iso to /images/os/ubuntu/18.04/mate. after cleaning out that directory. My menu config is as follows: kernel nfs://192.168.0.14/images/os/ubuntu/18.04/mate/casper/vmlinuz initrd nfs://192.168.0.14/images/os/ubuntu/18.04/mate/casper/initrd imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.14:/images/os/ubuntu/18.04/mate/ locale=en_GB.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=gb quiet splash toram ip=dhcp rw boot || goto MENU There is no initrd.lz so had to change it to initrd Booting up my test PXE client VM gives me a kernel panic:  I added the following to /etc/exports: /images/os/ubuntu/18.04/mate *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure) And rebooted the server. Same result! I don’t want to use a DHCP assigned IP on my PXE server as I need it to resolve local DNS queries from my internal DNS server on the network. Is there a workaround/ Many thanks, Neil

  @unltdlove2u How did you create that ubuntu-16.04.img in the first place? Sounds to me as if this is just your KVM image file, right? Well with FOG the steps to create an image is: register the machine (as well KVM should work if all network and DHCP is setup properly), schedule a capture/upload task and let the client upload its disk contents. What you are asking for is a way to convert your KVM disk image into a FOG image. Might be possible but it’s not supported. Search the forum for convert vmdk and such VM disks. I think some people have done it but it’s probably a lot of work and I am not sure it’s worth it. For dm-crypt/LUKS you need to let FOG do a sector by sector copy (also called dd) as it can’t read the encrypted filesystem stuff. The FOG image will be very big as it contains unused sectors as well.

  I’m having the same trouble with 18.04. Was curious if you found a work around. Booting the ISO itself works fine, but PXE booting doesn’t work. My guess is that the network, obviously, has to start sooner in order to pull over the files via NFS, and this is somehow mucking up the traditional order of operations.

  @hvaransky I also recommend you open a new thread unless your fog server and configurations are exactly the same as the OP’s I don’t want to confuse posted information because we are talking about different setups.
