      @Tom-Elliott Thank you, Tom. The init version is now 2025xxx. I’ll test soon to confirm the SSD info is showing in logs.

      @george1421 I have installed fog with DHCP server but DNS doesn’t work at all (no dns server appear on windows client) so I’m stuck.
      It’s my first time installing DHCP and DNS on Debian so I think I made mistakes.
      DHCP work fine.

      edit : It’s fixed. I forgot to add “option domain-name” and “option domain-name-servers” in dhcpd.conf

      For the script, I think it must be simple to set FOG as DHCP server at startup if after 10 min no IP is given from a DHCP server then set server to static IP and start DHCP and DNS services.
      And then reverse this at shutdown.
      Maybe this can be done manually first.

      edit : Here is the first script.
      I have create files ending with .dhcp for conf for external DHCP/DNS and file ending with .static for conf for local DHCP/DNS.
      It looks to work fine.

      # Configuration actuelle echo "Etat DNS local :" systemctl is-active bind9 echo "Etat DHCP local :" systemctl is-active isc-dhcp-server echo "" loc(){ # Configuration DHCP local echo "DHCP local" # Configuration if [ -e /etc/network/interfaces.static ] then echo "Copie interfaces" cp /etc/network/interfaces.static /etc/network/interfaces else echo "interfaces.static not found" exit 1 fi echo "Redemarrage service reseau" systemctl restart networking.service if [ -e /etc/resolv.conf.static ] then echo "Copie resolv.conf" cp /etc/resolv.conf.static /etc/resolv.conf else echo "resolv.conf.static not found" exit 1 fi # Services systemctl start bind9 systemctl start isc-dhcp-server } ext(){ # Configuration DHCP externe echo "DHCP externe" # Configuration if [ -e /etc/network/interfaces.dhcp ] then echo "Copie interfaces" cp /etc/network/interfaces.dhcp /etc/network/interfaces else echo "interfaces.dhcp not found" exit 1 fi echo "Redemarrage service reseau" systemctl restart networking.service if [ -e /etc/resolv.conf.dhcp ] then echo "Copie resolv.conf" cp /etc/resolv.conf.dhcp /etc/resolv.conf else echo "resolv.conf.dhcp not found" exit 1 fi # Services systemctl stop bind9 systemctl stop isc-dhcp-server } # Demande de Configuration while true; do read -p "Voulez vous passer en DHCP externe ou en DHCP local? (e:externe l:local) " el case $el in [Ee]* ) ext; break;; [Ll]* ) loc; break;; * ) echo "Please answer yes or no.";; esac done

      @raul I have an Ansible role which does something akin to what you’re trying to do here:
      https://forgejo.cwavs.xyz/Cwavs/ansible-role-fog it might be worth taking a look and seeing if it helps give you any ideas on how to solve your problem. Happy to answer questions about it.

      @Tom-Elliott Really for the purposes of user tracking. It is helpful for us to keep track of who is deploying and capturing. This is purely for transparency and accountability. I can instruct my team to always register devices they are imaging but I cannot force it.

      EDIT: Is there a way to force full reg prior to image deployment? Like a prereq for deployment.

      @siarkowski I believe I have found the cause of this.
      A while back, right after the version you reverted too, we added an improved queueing system. It was a simple syntax error (the wrong $task->id vs $task->get('id') ).

      This should also greatly improve the experience of the imaging task queue (see also https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/736 and https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/691) I thought I also wrote a post somewhere in the forum walking through the updated process that fixed some longstanding date math issues, but I can’t find that now.

      Point being, if you would be so kind as to update to the latest dev-branch version and see if it fixes the issue, that would be very helpful.

      @djgalloway said in The DDP package file was not found or could not be read:

      The DDP package file was not found or could not be read. Entering Safe Mode

      This specific issue is the default fog kernel doesn’t contain the required firmware that is required to communicate with your E810 network adapter.

      If I built a custom fog kernel for you in the past you already know this, but for the folks that find this post in the future… The fog developers in an effort to make a super fast imaging engine designed it using the 90/10 rule in that they will build a kernel for 90% of the deployments (which mean desktop computers) and leaving the rest for one-off builds. The supermicro servers or servers in general are in a different class than desktop/workstation computers. The desktop/workstation computers are pretty much the same even from different vendors. So the 90% rule has almost all of the hardware drivers built into the kernel. Servers class computers on the other hand have specialty components to aid in redundancy, performance, or monitoring (that other 10%) that are not typically found in the workstation class computers. Natively supporting that remaining 10% means almost doubling the size of the FOS engine kernel as well as having an impact on imaging speed. That is why the native FOS kernel doesn’t have every hardware driver built in. In your case the Intel E810 is a server class network adapter with QSFP28 ports (not something typically found in a workstation class computer).

      With that said, I’m sure either the FOG kernel developers or I can create a one-off kernel for you. I will need to resetup my development environment because I just built a new linux server and haven’t move the files over from my old server, so it may take me a day or so to be in the position to create a current kernel with the required firmware built in for the nic.

      @eliaspereira This should be fully fixed in the stable release of 1.5.10.x coming on the 15th of this month and in the dev-branch as of now.
      I thought it was already fixed back in September, and it has been working in 1.6 since then but we just got a report of a related issue here https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/18081 which I believe I just fixed.

      @tian @DBailey635 @eliaspereira Apologies for missing this post. This was fixed in August-ish of last year, see also:
      https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/issues/736

      I found this searching for a post I wrote about it, as I’m pushing another fix for this for a bug just found in 1.5.10.x

      If you update to the latest dev-branch (or what will be stable on the 15th of this month) or give the working-1.6 branch aka 1.6-beta a try, you’ll find the queuing problems fixed.

      Great news!

      I updated my server to Debian Bookworm, restarted the Fog installation, and the accent problem disappeared. Awesome!

      Thanks for your help and happy new year 2026, all the best for the FOG project!

      Hi All,

      Just looping back to this hoping that someone can suggest a solution on how to fix the FOS so that what is happening (as shown in my prior postings) doesn’t happen to other people. Presently I’m resolving this by pulling the two network cards out so that only one network card is available while the deployment OR capturing is done. Otherwise the mac address changes to one of the other cards installed on the box. I’ve also tried with multiple network cards thinking MAYBE it has something to do with the network cards I’m installing… Sadly no solution as of yet.

      @Florent Thanks Florent. Hopefully it does!

      The issues I’ve listed here do seem to only affect older models of Dell, however UEFI (despite having the word unified in the name) varies wildly by vendor, and even within Vendors, so I wouldn’t be surprised to learn there are similar or different issues affecting newer Dells or even non-Dell machines.

      That said, based on my experience at work. I can’t say I’ve seen too many machines have the number of bizarre issues as I have seen with the older Dell PCs we have.

      As with all things, I’d suggest testing it on some of the machines common in your fleet of computers and seeing what works and what doesn’t.
