Boot problems after upgrading from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0

zavo · Jun 12, 2014, 11:55 AM

Upgraded FOG from 1.0.1 to 1.1.0.

After the upgrade, we have problems with some hardware. They get a blank screen and nothing happens (an ‘_’ blinking or a BIOS message ‘Press A key to continue’).
It should be a hardware related issue, since this isn’t happening to all our devices (we have +300 PC’s).

Things I’ve tried:

[]Replacing all tftpboot files to 1.0.1
[]Upgraded FOG 1.1.0 using svn [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN[/url]
[]Replacing bzImage [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ[/url]

Version: 1.1.0 Installer/Updater

Found FOG Settings from previous install at: /opt/fog/.fogsettings
Performing upgrade using these settings…

Starting Debian / Ubuntu / Kubuntu / Edubuntu Installtion.

#####################################################################

FOG now has everything it needs to setup your server, but please
understand that this script will overwrite any setting you may
have setup for services like DHCP, apache, pxe, tftp, and NFS.

It is not recommended that you install this on a production system
as this script modifies many of your system settings.

This script should be run by the root user on Redhat or with sudo on Ubuntu.

** Notice ** Redhat users will need to disable SELinux and iptables in
order to use FOG
Please see our wiki for more information at http://www.fogproject.org/wiki

Here are the settings FOG will use:
Base Linux: Debian
Detected Linux Distribution: Ubuntu
Installation Type: Normal Server
Server IP Address: 192.168.129.10
DHCP router Address: 192.168.129.3
DHCP DNS Address: 192.168.129.3
Interface: eth0
Using FOG DHCP: 0
Internationalization: 0
Donate: 0

    DHCP will NOT be setup but you must setup your
    current DHCP server to use FOG for PXE services.

    On a Linux DHCP server you must set:
        next-server

    On a Windows DHCP server you must set:
        option 066 & 067

      Option 066 is the IP of the FOG Server: (e.g. 192.168.129.10
      Option 067 is the undionly.kpxe file: (e.g. undionly.kpxe)

Try changing the exit type of the Boot system to Exit or Grub.

FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->FOG Boot Settings->Exit Style.

I’ve changed the FOG_BOOT_EXIT_TYPE to GRUB and the problem was solved!
Thank you very much for the support.
