苹果笔记本MACbook使用U盘引导，上传镜像后下载报错且镜像不可用

[zyzhang]

新版本的苹果笔记本MACBook系统是10.15，使用旧版本10.12版本的FOG引导U盘，上传的镜像大小为28G，且下载后FOG客户端报错，苹果笔记本识别不出镜像。FOG版本为1.5.4

Your version of FOG is old, but that should not cause this error. You say you have a new macbook, what year is it made? After a certain year the macbooks use the T2 chip for security. This T2 chip needs a special FOS Linux kernel to access the hard drive.

What does the content of /images/<image_name> look like? Can you provide a picture of the contents of that directory?

I don’t know mac os but is it possible that mac os version 10.12 does not support the hardware on this new macbook, where the new macboon needs 10.15 to work correctly?

新版的Mac笔记本使用的是10.15的系统，现已验证10.12版本的系统使用U盘引导，上传和下载镜像是没有问题了

@george1421 您好，请问需要什么版本的内核，可以解决这个问题

[george1421]

@zyzhang I did not see the year of the macbook you are talking about. If its a new macbook made after 2018 (guess) it uses the T2 security chip to protect the information on the hard drive. This T2 chip causes a problem with the normal linux kernel. I have a kernel patched by me (not the developers) that might support the T2 chip for imaging. You can test this one-off (special) kernel by downloading the bzImageT2 kernel from this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10j8fZ3i3Y_uICxcMgX5lpiuQ2ci9bCJG/view?usp=sharing

Download that file and copy it to the usb boot disk replacing bzImage with bzImageT2. Be sure to rename bzImageT2 to bzImage so your usb drive will boot using this one-off kernel. Understand this kernel is not supported by the developers since it was not officially released by the fog project developers.

@george1421 新版的MACbook是2019年生产的，使用系统为10.15.

@george1421 您好，您给的链接无法打开

[george1421]

@zyzhang You then should try the bzImageT2 from my previous link. People have told me it works with the new models of macbook. I don’t have a macbook to confirm it works yes or no.

您好，您给的链接无法打开

It looks like USA google drives might be blocked to your country.

can you get to this link? https://fogproject.org/kernels/ If yes then maybe I can get one of the Devs to upload the T2 kernel to that location.

@george1421 可以访问到这个链接以及看到链接中的内容

@zyzhang https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/releases/download/1.5.9-RC1/bzImageT2

[zyzhang]

@Sebastian-Roth 您好，内核可以下载，但是在捕获镜像是会报 attempting to check in —failed，麻烦帮忙分析分析是什么原因

[zyzhang]

@george1421 您好，内核下载后，按照您给的方法，替换了原U盘中的内核后， 在捕获复制是会报尝试签入—失败，麻烦帮忙分析分析是什么原因

[george1421]

@zyzhang I don’t have a good answer for you. I think what you see is a bug in 1.5.4 version of FOG. I can see that the macbook sees the network because it gets IP address 192.168.1.71.

Are you trying to fog multicast to this macbook?

Is there a chance you can upgrade your fog server to a newer version? If you use the git procedure to install FOG it is not hard to upgrade.

[zyzhang]

@george1421 您好，此FOG版本由于之前做了些web前端的修改，升级的话不清楚是否会产生影响。之前使用此FOG服务器在旧版未安装T2安全芯片的MACBook上是能够正常使用的

[zyzhang]

@george1421 您好，FOG使用的安装包是在FOG官网下载的安装包，我现在已下载好新的1.5.8版本的安装包，请问升级的话是否需要连接外部网络，我在虚拟化环境中连接外网测试升级时会卡主，在Downloading kernel, init and fog-client binaries 这一步

[george1421]

@zyzhang

Will I need to connect to the external network if I upgrade?

Yes the fog server will need to connect to the internet to download a few things (like kernel, inits and binaries). If you have an isolated imaging network, then since you have a virtual environment, can you install a second nic in the FOG server that has internet access? Once FOG has been installed the FOG server doesn’t need internet access.

I can give you a warning. The FOG server does not like it when you change the IP address of the FOG server after FOG is installed. Changing the IP address to upgrade FOG will break the installation after changing it back to your imaging network address.

this FOG version has some web front-end modifications, so if you upgrade, it is not clear whether it will have an impact.

I will tell you, if you make updates to FOG it will overwrite any changes you made to the web ui.

@george1421 新版苹果笔记本使用修改后的bzimageT2内核，可以上传和下载镜像了，但是好像还是有点问题!
镜像可以上传，可以下载，下载后镜像暂时也没有发现问题，可以使用。但是在部署完成时fog服务器的部署任务不会自动停止，需要手动来结束任务。这是捕获镜像选择的方式，和捕获镜像后出现的界面以及部署完成是的界面。

@george1421 您好，能给个链接，我下载新版1.5.8版本需要的 kernel，init and fog-client binaries 吗，我怕受网络影响，会在这一步失败，在测试环境中我做了三次升级的尝试，有一次是在这一步是吧，准备在正式使用的服务器上进行更新，担心会在这一步失败
