[SOLVED] Can not download Kernel - 2.6.35.7 PS (and other problems) - im a n00b

[flex]

Nope. both 320gb. I opened up both cases and doublechecked.

Looks like the tftp server is still playing up. I rebooted and still issues.

I tried re-imaging the pc and it didnt like the tftp password so the job was not started. I reset it to the default one and restarted ubuntu. I tried restarting the job, but now the tftp issue is back!! - Doh!

I just connected up another machine and set it to dns.

The ip’s are

router = 192.168.0.1 (1)
my fog server = 192.168.0.254 (254)

gateway = 1
DNS = 1
DHCP = 254

this machine happily connects to the internet.

try restarting the tftp again using that ‘sudo /etc/init.d/atftpd restart’ command, since you reset the password back. I am about to call it a night here. Hope i have helped at least a little bit.

Thnaks Fog_Rookie! You have been most helpful.

I had to do sudo /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa restart to get it back up and running again. I’m re-uploading the other hp8100. This time with the older kernel. Maybe it was a problem with that.

What version of Ubuntu are you using for your server? It sounds like you may be using 12.04 because of the tftpd-hpa issues, which is a common problem with 12.04 and documented on these forums.

I hope your deploy goes well with the different kernel.

Hi Chad.

Yes it is 12.0.4!! - Hmmn… Is there a way of downgrading? - I’ll research the known issues and weigh up the cost. I now know a lot more about fog and could probably rebuild the whole thing in about 1 hour. Might be worth it!

Oh BTW. After restarting the server one more time and manually starting tftp-hpa, all worked like clockwork

[Fog_Rookie]

You got your HP8100 to upload and image?

[flex]

Yup. Image created perfectly. Redeployed it aswell. Todays project is to sysprep it as there were a couple problems which were hard to get past.It created another drive on any user profile after i added pcs to the domain. ill add the code i did to remove it below when i get into work.

The above changes worked perfectly and i was able to image perfectly. I also made the changes on my home build and it now works flawlessly. Ive added avg rescue, hirens, dban and ubuntu to the pxe menu. Even mini windows xp within hirens boot cd works great.

If i can get the 8200’s to work i think we wont bother fixing our altiris server!!!

Hi All. I never posted the fix for TFTP open timeout.

navigate to /etc

then type in

sudo nano rc.local

then your password.

next, add this one line before the end:

/bin/sleep 30 && /etc/init.d/tftpd-hpa restart

hit ctrl + o

hit enter

then ctrl + x to exit.

I can also confirm that HP 8100’s and 8200’s work with the latest kernel out of the box.
