New FOG server will not start the image upload
-
I think the correct location is actually /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/
My FOG server is slightly modified so my stuff is in a different directory. Check there.
-
This is the task that appears in the/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/
It comes and goes with changes to the GUI.
append initrd=fog/images/init.gz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns=10.28.0.4 type=up img=CDHSMINT13 imgid=2 mac=00:18:8b:1a:50:88 storage=10.28.0.10:/images/dev/ web=10.28.0.10/fog/ ignorepg=1 osid=50 pct=5 imgType=mps shutdown= loglevel=4 consoleblank=0 fdrive= chkdsk=0pros
I think there is a permission problem some place but I’m not sure where.

If you are getting a problem detecting the OS type, it’s on the client at this point. This appears to be a Linux based client that you are trying to upload. Is that correct?
-
The output I posted is from a Linux client. I was getting the same issue from a WIndows 7-64 client. I did not capture that output.

Question. Is what type of image are you trying, single disk resizable multiple part single disk or multiparty all disk.
-
single disk, multi part, non-resize
-
The correct directory is is /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ the permissions should be checked for this directory. Also check the host for an appropriate OS assigned.

What should the permission be?

Been checked, double checked, and triple checked. I will check it again. lol
-
Is this windows xp windows 7 or Linux.
-
Perms on tftpboot should be 755 fog.root on all.
-
chown fog:root -R /tftpboot; chmod 755 -R /tftpboot
Sorry about poor grammar and no code I’m on cellphone.
-
I have a Win7-64 box to my left and a Mint-13 box to my right.

Try running task with debug mode. This is different than booting into debug mode. I’ll explain when I get home on appropriate hardware.
-
Thx. The server is at the high school. More debugging will have to wait until Monday.
-
The reason why you need to create the task with debug is it enables the output of information within a viable task.
If you don’t, but boot into debug mode directly from the pxe menu, there is no task, therefore no OS ID sent to the system.

FOR THE WIN!!!
Thanks.

Glad I could be of help.

Broken again. Now it will not start any task.
I was uploading and downloading fine when I tried to multicast. The multicast task did not launch (skipped straight to the FOG menu when booting). I made the changes found here in the troubleshooting section: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Multicasting[/url]
then rebootedNow it will not launch any tasks at all. They appear in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg but the clients just boot straight to the FOG menu - even when you launch in Debug-Deploy
When you select Debug from the FOG menu we are back to the “Unable to determine operating system type” stuff.
-
For now, I’d say don’t do multicast jobs. Remove the area’s of the pxelinux.cfg/default file that you added and perform a test task. Then slowly work into multicast troubleshooting.
