Latest FOG 0.33b

[Tom Elliott]

r1260 released.

Actually saves the advanced data.

r1261 released.

Removes obsolete imgargs command. Adds reporting of whether the host is registered or not as a gap in the menu.

[Tom Elliott]

r1262 released.

Fixes Windows 8 and below imaging issues. Yes this includes UEFI/GPT disks. You will need to disable secure boot on the drives but all seems to work. You may even (which I might fix myself) randomize the GUID of the disk to get booting to work as well. Hopefully this helps, and it’s very exciting.

Nice job Tom!

Now I just wait to hear those dreaded words “Get Windows 8 installed on all the staff and student machines!”

[Tom Elliott]

Lol, still refining a little bit, you know trying to get the procedure (for mps/mpa types) at least right now.

[BigMan99211]

What has changed since version 1256, that would stop “Full Host Registration…” from running? It worked fine 2 days ago, now it’s just bypassing and trying to boot to the hard drive…

[Tom Elliott]

Did you make edits to the boot.php file? If so, check that the line has a \n at the end.

[BigMan99211]

No. I haven’t made any changes.

I have the same issue, except that any time I choose anything from the iPXE menu, it boots to HDD regardless. I thought it was just me, so I was going to try a fresh install. I didn’t customize any of the configs, etc other than adding the MYSQL passwords to the 2 required files

[Tom Elliott]

Change your FOG Configuration files
FOG Configuration (?) Icon
FOG Settings
Change the areas that have fog/memtest/memtest, fog/images/init.gz, fog/kernel/bzImage to say only memtest, init.gz, bzImage respectively.

[quote=“ArchFan, post: 23627, member: 19266”] … the 2 required files[/quote]

2?

[Tom Elliott]

I don’t know any more

I’ve since changed it to one required file.

/var/www/{fog,html/fog}/commons/config.php

The other config.php just tells the FOG<SERVICENAME> files to point to the main config.php file.

[BigMan99211]

This is all i’m seeing in /var/www/fog/commons/config.php

What are you talking about?

Have you followed the above information I already stated?

[BigMan99211]

I guess I don’t understand your directions…

[Junkhacker]

in your fog configuration page, there are settings for the locations for the locations of
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL, which is currently fog/kernel/bzImage it needs to just be bzImage
FOG_MEMTEST_KERNEL, which needs to just be memtest
and FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE, which needs to just be init.gz

no editing of php files, all from the web interface
