Unable to upload image
-
It’s all good. One issue at a time.
I’m assuming that both the FOG server and the client (the one your trying to upload from) is on the same subnet? Are they behind a switch or a router?
-
I’ve got a little bit of a test if you don’t mind me trying something out.
-
They are both on the same subnet and behind a switch. And I’m game for a test.
-
Try putting these values into your fog’s dhcpd.conf file:
Essentially create a new dhcpd.conf file, and don’t forget to restart the dhcpd service.
[code]use-host-decl-names on;
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
next-server 10.1.50.1subnet 10.1.50.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dyncamic-bootp 10.1.50.2 10.1.50.254;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
option domain-name-servers 10.1.50.1; <-- USE YOUR REAL DNS SERVER IP ADDRESS
option routers 10.1.50.1; <-- USE YOUR REAL NETWORK GATEWAY FOR THIS SUBNET
filename “pxelinux.0”;
}[/code]I hope this helps you out.
One you’re done editing, don’t forget to restart the dhcp service.
For ubuntu it should be:
[code]sudo service isc-dhcp-service restart[/code] -
Things are happening!
[EDIT]
Not good things anymore
-
So it’s, hopefully, working?
-
I was in the middle of recording what I think was an error when all of a sudden the screen looked like [URL=‘http://ak0.picdn.net/shutterstock/videos/529198/preview/stock-footage-television-static-noise-audio-included-black-white.jpg’]this[/URL]. I’m going to try to reproduce it.

This post is deleted! -
I don’t see the picture, I’m assuming meant to put in, but no worries,
Just describe what the error message says.
-
So I was able to PXE boot on the Win 7 machine and it produced the following output seen in “2.png” attached below. After a few moments, the screen displayed static that can be seen in “3.png”.
I believed it to be frozen in this state (3.png), but as I was typing this the VM restarted and looks to be functioning again. I’m not sure what happened, but the task is still listed in “Task Management” for all active tasks as “queued” and there is a new empty directory in /images/dev on the FOG server whose name is the same as the MAC address of the machine whose image was to be uploaded.
[EDIT]
Found this post, [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/no-chip-hp-compaq-6910p.202/[/url] ,that may be pertinent. I’m reading through it now myself.[url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/0/450_2.png?:”]2.png[/url][url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/0/451_3.png?:”]3.png[/url]

It’s not the error that’s giving you the issue.
Download my kernel:
[url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/url]
Copy it to your FOG Server with the following commands: (ON THE FOG SERVER TERMINAL OR CONSOLE)
[code]sudo cp /tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage /tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage.orig
cd /tftpboot/fog/kernel/
sudo wget --no-check-certificate https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/code]Then try uploading again. You may have to recreate the task.
-
Ahh okay, I’ll do that tomorrow or whenever is next possible for me. My FOG server is unable to be connected to the internet, so I’ll need to do some extra work to get the kernel onto the machine.
Thanks so much for the help so far! I didn’t expect such quality help from forums this quickly, but you’ve been great!
-
Okay,
I’m sorry about that. The “scribbly screen” as I like to call it, just means it can’t process the kms (kernel mode setting) properly. It should be creating the image though.
-
Hello,
I’m finally able to get started on this again, and hopefully get it working. I’m going to put the kernel you linked above on the FOG server. Just to check, is this a 12.04 64 bit ubuntu kernel?
-
No,
It’s the tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage kernel.
-
I’ve put the kernel in /tftpboot/fog/kernel/ then I restarted the FOG server and tried to boot from PXE (Onboard Network Controller). Thats when I receive the errors:

[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
I’ve been looking around for solutions on what to do, but none have been successful. Do you have any ideas? -
Try following the instructions:
NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!
Delete the task you’ve created. Then Boot the system and perform chkdsk /f, reboot the system twice after this has happened. They recreate the task and try again.
-
That seemed to do the trick. Some things that I ran into that gave me unnecessary trouble (I’m partially really dumb):
[INDENT=1]chkdsk /f didn’t actually run fully because some process had the disk locked[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]When booting from the network it looked like it froze after starting to throw the same error as explained before.[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2]I restarted the box instead of letting it continue (which if I had done would have let it finish successfully).[/INDENT]
[INDENT=2] [/INDENT]
Thanks again for all your help! I really like this forum, both for the support and it’s layout. Did you guys make the forum from scratch?!

[I]On a windows server, this is done in DHCP. Under, I think, option 66, you’ll put the pxelinux.0 file, and option 67, you’ll input your fog server’s IP address.[/I]
Not being cheeky and correct me if im wrong but in Windows server:
[INDENT=1]066 Boot Server Host Name = fog server IP or hostname if you have added it in DNS[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]067 Bootfile Name = pxelinux.0[/INDENT]
Pls let me know if I’m wrong so i can change my DHCP scope options - thx[/quote] -
You are not wrong, I just had my order wrong.
