      I suspect the problem is the fogserver because after the reboot, the “Brightness Lock” settings were wrong.
      I had set them 2 days ago to never turn off the screen with inactivity, and it worked. But after the Clonezilla imaging and reboot, the screen turned itself off after 10 minutes. Even though the settings are “never”.

      status mysql = running
      status tftpd-hpa = running

        I used Clonezilla before on the old HP version 32 fogserver without problem.

        Can I check anything else on fogserver?

          Restarted DNS on server - No joy

          I stopped tftpd-hpa and then started it. That fixed it. Now it’s working.

          sudo stop tftpd-hpa
          sudo start tftpd-hpa

          What a relief.
          Anyone have any idea why?

            Doesn’t seem like the hpa service is starting fully or is starting too soon.

            You can always check the system logs and see if it’s providing any errors when it’s starting.

                Tom I need to use the following you suggested:
                sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80 is the line in BootMenu.class.php that deals with how to pass to the harddrive. That said, not all systems like this method. If your systems are freezing. Try changing those lines to just say: exit.

                Do I change all 3 places this text appears in the file?

                There is additional text on these lines. Precisely which words do I replace with exit.
                Is it only the words: “sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80” ?

                I need an answer as soon as possible.

                    Thanks and sorry. I thought that code was something to do with GPT.

                      The new code worked. The old HPs are now going further after the pxe fog and booting into the OS.

                        I have just tried to deploy Linux to 13 PCs in 1 classroom.
                        All booted automatically and loaded the pxe file.
                        But they did not pick up the image. They just
                        rebooted to pxe fog window
                        rebooted to pxe fog window
                        rebooted to pxe fog window
                        endlessly

                        It’s 21:30 now and this is a real downer.

                          On the management console the Ubuntu-12 image appears to be 9.07 MiB.
                          But on fogserver itself they are:
                          d1p1 = 1.4 GB
                          d1p2 = 1.0 kB
                          d1p5 = 635.6 MB

                            Bug in hosts page.
                            With many new hosts, the option to add them to a group at the bottom vanishes.

                              can you include some screen shots of what you see, the task page for example and the booting clients??

                              You are giving us almost nothing to go off of and it makes identifying the problem very difficult…

                                There is a bug in hosts window.
                                When there are many hosts, the option at the bottom of the page to put selected hosts into a group has vanished.

                                  066 = fogserver[/QUOTE]

                                  Are you sure you set this ip to the ip of the NEW FOG server you made, not the old one?

                                  Also that is not a bug, that is how the UI functions.

                                  To add hosts to a group go under the groups tab and select a group then click membership and add the hosts you want.

                                    I’m too tired to do this now. I need to go home now. It’s 10PM.

                                      066 = 10.0.1.40 which is the new fogserver.

                                        As long as option 67 is set to undionly.kpxe then when you are back in the office post some screen shots of the tasks page and what the client are seeing during their pxe boot.

                                          Tried sending a single image to one of the NEW Elite 8300 USDT.
                                          It worked!
                                          This means that most things must be correct on the fogserver and server 2012 domain controller.
                                          I will now try a multi cast deploy to 3 of the new USDT. If that works, then that points to a problem with the old HP DC7100 PCs or the Linux image or the network in that classroom.

                                            The multicast to 3 new USDT PCs stopped, froze waiting at the PartClone white window in a blue frame.

                                            With one line of text at top:
                                            Starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda1)

                                            Notice the image is (-)

                                            Looks like multicast is not finding the image, the same image I have just sent successfully to one of these 3 PCs.

                                            This would also explain why the multicast to the old HPs did not work.

                                            I will now try deploying Linux to a single old HP PC in the same classroom where the Linux multicast did not work yesterday.
                                            I’m hoping that might work, showing that the problem is in multicast.
