• RE: Determine version installed after update

  @Nono Without going through the web interface you can check the file in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php.
  Toward the bottom of the file there is a line that start with define('FOG_VERSION'

• RE: Unable to Capture an image: ERROR: Could not adjust the bad sector list

  @bond007fink A new version of ntfs-3g, which is the parent package for ntfsresize, has finally been released last week. That’s after 4 years of no updates. If all goes well, I will be doing an experimental release this weekend with the newer package.

  As @Tom-Elliott stated, this is not an issue with FOG itself, instead FOG relies on tools like ntfs-3g and partclone to handle all the NTFS filesystem changes. Hopefully this updated version fixes your issue.
  I will update the thread once the experimental release is available.

• RE: Sysprep in FOG?

  @trent_potter Yes you figured it out. Sysprep is a Windows utility, it has nothing to do with FOG. It is always recommended to sysprep before capturing an image.

• RE: EFI Stub Errors on XCP-ng Virtual Machine Attempting 'Perform Full Host Registration and Inventory'

  @JCS-RVK Okay so I don’t see why this kernel wouldn’t work for you with those settings. Only difference I can think of may be the initrd version that is being loaded. I know that @BPSTravis is using the latest released version so it wouldn’t hurt to update yours too.

  I also see that you are running an older version of FOG. You could upgrade to the latest stable release and that will also download the latest initrd.

  You could also download it manually if you don’t want to update FOG:

  On your FOG server, run this command to download the latest initrd
  wget https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases/download/20260306/init.xz

  Move it to the correct location like this:
  sudo mv init.xz /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/

  Then you need to change the permissions and ownership of that file:
  sudo chmod 644 /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz

  Red Had based server: sudo chown fogproject:apache /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz

  Debian based server: sudo chown fogproject:www-data /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz

• RE: EFI Stub Errors on XCP-ng Virtual Machine Attempting 'Perform Full Host Registration and Inventory'

  @JCS-RVK Hi I have a kernel that should work for XCP-ng. If you don’t mind giving it a try and let me know if it works for you please.
  You will need to download and set it up manually but here are the instructions.

  On your FOG server, run this command to download the test kernel
  wget https://github.com/rluzuriaga/fos/releases/download/EXPERIMENTAL_XCP_1/bzImage
  That will download it to whatever directory you are currently on.

  Rename the file and move it to the correct location like this:
  sudo mv bzImage /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage_XCP

  Then you need to change the permissions and ownership of that file:
  sudo chmod 644 /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage_XCP

  Red Had based server: sudo chown fogproject:apache /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage_XCP

  Debian based server: sudo chown fogproject:www-data /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage_XCP

  Then add bzImage_XCP to the Host Kernel line in the XCP-ng host on the FOG web.
  Also, remove all the host kernel arguments.

• RE: Image creation and network connection

  @BLT I don’t necessarily have a timeline for the final release but I did just release an experimental kernel with a newer nic driver. It may work for you if you want to give it a try.

  @BLT Hi I am working on an updated kernel that should support newer hardware like the Framework Desktop.

• RE: EFI Stub Errors on XCP-ng Virtual Machine Attempting 'Perform Full Host Registration and Inventory'

  I have a windows 11 golden VM residing on an xcp-ng 8.3 host, I am able to boot into the fog menus and upload images(although sometimes the console window blanks out after 3-4 minutes so I use snapshots and brute force to get it to complete).

  Try adding this to your host kernel arguments: xen_emul_unplug=unmodified nomodeset vga=788

  Also use the intel nic option not realtek. I am not using a custom kernel for my VM, just the latest same as any other machine.

  UEFI bios mode on the VM(required for TPM).

• RE: FOG hangs on "... free base memory after PXE unload"

  @jas777 Hi sorry for the delay. I believe I have the solution for this issue.
  I haven’t been able fully test these changes on physical hardware, so I pushed them to another branch. Please clone the repository and change the branch like this before installing:

  git clone https://github.com/fogproject/fogproject.git
  cd fogproject
  git switch ipxe-bios-test
  

  Let me know if it works out for you.

• RE: FOG hangs on "... free base memory after PXE unload"

  @jas777 It looks like you are running an old version of iPXE. The newest version, as of 10 minutes ago when I built it, is 1.21.1+ (g21b5b).
  I may be wrong, since I don’t use my own custom certificate, but you probably need to rebuild your iPXE with the new certificate.
