Fog 0.33b Snappin deployment

[Tom Elliott]

It’s the only thing, windows related, that I could think of as causing your particular issue.

[Tom Elliott]

I’m trying to look at the issue.

I didn’t change to the new scripts until: r1142

In r1140 to r1141, I changed the files:
change/trunk/packages/web/lib/pages/HostManagementPage.class.php (diff)
change/trunk/packages/web/service/mc_checkin.php (diff)
change/trunk/packages/web/management/reports/User Login Hist.php (diff)
change/trunk/packages/web/service/Pre_Stage1.php (diff)
change/trunk/packages/web/service/usertracking.report.php (diff)

None of those files deals with Windows services except the usertracking.report.php file, which only deals with logging who’s logged in when.

[Tom Elliott]

I’m trying something out if you’re patient with me.

Please update to r1157 and try again.

The only major change for the fog scripts was in 1141 fog creates the partitions 1 and 2 in windows 7 based image deploy. In 1142, in the fog.download script, I removed this but starting to think it is still needed. r1157 contains this and hopefully helps you out. I think the reason you’re seeing that error is the 100MB partition doesn’t actually have any data on it which may contain the information your system is looking for.

[Greg Plamondon]

I tried R1157 and still get the message Tom.
I am heading home for the night. I can pickup where we left off tomorrow.

[Tom Elliott]

With any luck, this issue is now fixed.

It seems, with all the coding I’ve done, I made a little typo, I had a 2 where a 3 should have been. Basically what this means is, it was converting your hard-disk to gpt. The imaging would work fine because, for all technical purposes, the partitions were created and created properly, but then sgdisk would run when it shouldn’t have.

Hopefully this fixes our issue with this. r1160 should contain this fix.

[Greg Plamondon]

Tom, I updated to R1160 and I am still getting the error…

[Tom Elliott]

If you revert the system to r1141 (before the fog scripts were regenerated) and deploy an image, then update to r1161, and re-upload the image, then try to redeploy, does it work?

[Tom Elliott]

I ask this because I am only using a sysprepped image at work and all works perfectly fine.

[Greg Plamondon]

I did as you asked. and I still get the error message.
My image is sysprepped as well, with driver packs from driverpacks.net.

[Tom Elliott]

Can you try sysprep without driver pack installation?

It would seem possible, to me at least, that that whole Hostname early thing is causing the issue. To my knowledge, hostname_early sends if the hostname=blahblahblah in the 01-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX file is filled out. It’s supposed to check if hostname_early is enabled on the server and, if so, set this up, but I have a sneaky suspicion that this variable is being sent in either case.

While this doesn’t affect me, it would seem to make sense that driver packs are making changes to the sysprepped system, after another change has already happened. This would, theoretically, explain why you’re seeing this issue. This is what my mind is telling me. I really haven’t changed anything too drastically. I can, if you’re willing, create an init.gz file with the original fog script and see if all works for you.

[Tom Elliott]

download the new init.gz with the original fog script: (slightly modified to use double quotes where there was single quotes.)

[code]cd /tftpboot/fog/images
mv init.gz init.gz_r1161
wget -O init.gz --no-check-certificate https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/images/init.gz_origfog[/code]

[Greg Plamondon]

Tom, I dont know if this helps any… but i noticed that when the image is going to work i see this screen before it boots into setup.
[IMG]http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/822/tvgtx.jpg[/IMG]

I dont know what made it work, probably your init.gz because i re-sysprepped without the driverpacks.
I will try with the image that has the driverpacks and see if it works.

[Tom Elliott]

Maybe I fix/broke the chkdisk feature. Now we’re getting somewhere.

[Greg Plamondon]

Good news! the image with the driverpacks worked!

[Greg Plamondon]

Its not renaming the host or joining to the domain…
I have tried it with the Hostname_Early turned on as well.

[Tom Elliott]

I’m sorry I haven’t been able to fix all these issues, but glad these issues are happening.
So I’m going to go home tonight and figure out the issue with chkdisk. I think you’re right with that.

Basically, the file you’re using is just using the known working fog script. (The original one from 1141.)

[Greg Plamondon]

Here is my fog.log
I change the name to PC1824 manually hoping maybe it would join the domain, but no go.

Can you do the reinstall of FOG at 1161 (of course backing up the init.gz)

But before running the install script,

rm -rf the /var/www/fog directory (whereever it actually is.)

[Greg Plamondon]

Reinstalled like you asked and I get the same thing… I dont see the hostname change anymore like i used to. I used to see it right after the image was deployed right before reboot.

[Tom Elliott]

What do you mean, “you get the same thing?”

The host name or no host name happens?

I’m about to release r1162, found the place where ntfsresize was supposed to happen in my scripts, but wasn’t happening. Why?, you ask with a slight bit of confusion. Because I forgot to add the resize part.

My guess with your issue is, the sysprepped system was trying to expand, but the way the drive was sized, it couldn’t expand any further, therefore it wouldn’t work on your system. I’m using VM’s so things can happen in the background dynamically which would be why I wasn’t seeing the same issue you where. I’m surprised others weren’t as well.
