      [quote=“SteveL, post: 30665, member: 24457”]Hello.
      On my fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 and FOG 1.1.1, I’m having a problem with DELL 3010’s in a constant boot loop after the PXE connection…this is NOT happening with my DELL 3020’s

      Also, I believe there is an issue with GREEN FOG causing PC’s to shutdown without much warning and no way to opt out. I’ve turned off GREEN FOG checkbox and that seemed to clear that issue up.
      These 2 issues caused yesterday to be quite stressful.

      If there is any information or help that I can provide, please don’t hesitate to ask. But just to let you know, I’m not really a linux guy. Google and I have struggled through.

      Please advise?

      Thanks

      Where is it stuck, does it not load the pxe menu? Or does it act like it still has a task to perform?

        It connects with the fog server… and everything seems to go as planned…but instead of showing the menu, it immediately reboots.

          What kernel are you running?

          I had a similar issue with a specific model machine, switched kernel and it resolved the issue.

          Hope you resolve your prob.

            No idea…whatever was in the standard installation.

            Is that something that is easy to change/fix?

            Care to point me in the right direction?

              Very easy,

              Just go into Fog Configuration > Kernel Update, from here you can select from the latest published kernels, just a case of choosing one and letting it install 🙂

                Thanks Robbie…that was easy, but unfortauntly, it didn’t work. Same result. 3020’s boot to PXE menu no prob…3010’s go into a boot loop.
                Here is what I installed.

                  By boot loop, what do you mean?

                  System just keeps rebooting?

                  This wouldn’t be kernel related.

                    Yes…it connects to the fog server…goes through its dance…and then where it would normally show the Fog menu…it just restarts.

                      If I can provide any logs or anything…just let me know…and explain how to find them. If you want to showmypc or something similar to take a look…I’m more than willing to accommodate.

                                I don’t want you changing anything.

                                Try
                                [code]use fog;

                                      If you can pause on second 0:29

                                      Message is 040ee119. It actually makes sense since there is an abnormally long wait time to even get the initial PXE DHCP time.

                                          Are the 3010’s behind a different switch?

                                          If you place a 3020 AND a 3010 side by side to each other on the same switch do things work?

                                            I am also getting a VERY similar Boot Loop. Brand new Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Box with Fog 1.1.1. I’ pulled a multi-part image of a Win7 Dell Latitude E6410 notebook. After pushing the image back to the notebook I get a similar loop, I get the DHCP successfully, I actually get to the Fog Menu (Mine went much quicker than the Youtube vid) Once the Fog Menu times out in 3 seconds it is suppose to boot from Hard Drive, but instead I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner, for tens seconds, then it reboots.

                                            Temporary solution is to Go into BIOS and take NIC out of Boot sequence, then it boots to hard drive and WIN7 works fine. Maybe this second data point can help TOm converge on a solution. I’m thinking it is a BIOS setting that needs tweaked.
