Latest FOG 0.33b

Tom Elliott

r1261 released.

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

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.

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

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

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

BigMan99211

OK! Got it! Makes more sense now…
