    @Fog_Newb Sorry, should have been more clear in my message. I do not recommend you to move over to FOG working-1.6 (version 1.5.8.978) just now!!

    Please post the last 15 lines of fog_error_1.5.8.30.log…

    Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

    Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

      @Fog_Newb Wait a second. Seeing that Ubuntu 20.04 moved from PHP 7.3 (which it used when I updated our installer a few weeks ago last) to PHP 7.4 I just pushed a fix to dev-branch. Please use FOG 1.5.8.31 and if it fails again, post the log file of that.

        UPDATE.

        I uninstalled PHP 7.4 and let FOG Version: 1.5.8.31 Installer/Updater install it. All good!!!

        My “old” images are still in /images but I am not sure how to get FOG to see them.

          So I have removed and reinstalled MSQL cause I forgot the root password.

          Probably your image definitions are gone because of this. All your hosts are gone as well, right?

          Take a look at /home/fogDBbackups/. You should find DB backups there! Please run ls -al /home/fogDBbackups/*.sql and post output here so we can decide which to use.

              Can I just give the images the same names and point them to the correct image path?

              Actually I for got what the original names were but I made an image and pointed it to an existing image path and the size showed 0

                Yes you can. Doesn’t really matter what name you give the images but they are usually same to the folder names you find in /images/.

                I made an image and pointed it to an existing image path and the size showed 0

                Size information should be updated when you deploy the image to a host.

                So are you good like this or should we look into the DB backup?

                    @Sebastian-Roth

                    Hello,

                    I have been able to deploy the images however the image size in the fog web interface shows 0.

                    I have also updated to 1.5.8.32
                    Another odd thing is using acpi=off in the kernel args.

                    We have a mix of UEFI and Legacy network boot systems. If I enable acpi=off the EFI network boot systems are able to make it to the fog menu but images can not be deployed or captured or registered it just goes to a blinking cursor unless I remove acpi=off.

                    I was able to get around this before by using an older FOG kernel. I do not recall which one but it was about a year or so old. I didn’t need the acpi=off switch to deploy and capture from HP dc7800s and newer EFI network boot workstations were able deploye and capture too. I am not sure if I should just keep using that older kernel.

                    I guess I could make a different group with that switch but it seems so odd that an older kernel just works.

                    Thank you for your help

                      You should only need this setting for an old and defective bios that doesn’t support acpi properly. It really isn’t a requirement of the linux kernel but its intended for defective firmware. In general this setting should not be used on a global basis.

                        So… Was the fix going to 1.5.2 init? https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12924/hp-dc7800-network-boot?_=1587922835837

                        I will try that and if not use one of the older Tom Elliot kernels from the web interface.

                          Sorry, I was wrong. This is only updated when the image is being captured.

                          We have a mix of UEFI and Legacy network boot systems. If I enable acpi=off the EFI network boot systems are able to make it to the fog menu

                          To me it seems like you are mixing things up here. The kernel parameter does not play a role until the host actually boots the Linux kernel. So adding or removing a kernel parameter should not prevent any host from making it to the iPXE menu!!

                          Was the fix going to 1.5.2 init?

                          It’s all your choice but I’d not go back to such an old kernel unless there is no other way!!

                          May I ask you to open a new topic on this particular issue? We try to keep things sorted so other people find answers more quickly. The Ubuntu 20.04 issue is fixed as far as I see and we shall discuss a new issue in a new topic.

                            Yes.

                            I just want to add real quick, the DC 7800’s can boot to the menu with any kernel and without and kernel parameters. They fail when deploying.
