Fog registration with NUC

[Jjared]

Having trouble using Fog with the new Intel Nuc D54250WYK.

It will PXE boot to the fog menu, and then no matter which option I choose it stalls about mid way through. I’ve tried registering it, even manually entering it and then trying to image. No luck as it always fails. It’s even stopping in different parts of the process.

Anyone see this before?

[Tom Elliott]

Try the undionly.kkpxe in the /tftpboot directory.

[Mike Adams]

As a newbie to FOG\Ubuntu - Can you point me to some reference on the steps I should use to accomplish this?

[Baite]

Just go to /tftpboot [#cd /tftpboot]
Then rename undionly.kpxe to undionly.kpxe.ORIGINAL (for backup purposes only) [#mv undionly.kpxe undionly.kpxe.ORIGINAL]
Then copy undionly.kkpxe to undionly.kpxe [#cp undionly.kkpxe undionly.kpxe]

[Tom Elliott]

I typically use symbolic links.

[code]cd /tftpboot
mv undionly.kpxe undionly.kpxe.ORIGINAL
ln -s undionly.kkpxe undionly.kpxe[/code]

[Mike Adams]

This is what I get
mv: cannot stat ‘undionly.kpxe’: No Such File or directory

I must be missing a step someplace.

[Baite]

Well… can you access /tftpboot? [#cd /tftpboot]
What do you see when you type [#ls -alh]? Can you see severall files, including undionly.kpxe and undionly.kkpxe?
Copy commands from what Elliot typed, one by one, and paste them in Linux shell…

[Mike Adams]

I see files, but not undionly.kpxe - here is what I see:
root@FOG:~# cd /tftpboot
root@FOG:/tftpboot# ls -alh

drwxr-xr-x 5 fog root 4.0K Apr 1 14:44 .

I found this, so let me try its steps and see if I can complete to make the files.

what version of fog are you running?

[Tom Elliott]

What version of fog are you running?

I should’ve asked this first but…

[Mike Adams]

Running FOG 0.32

[Junkhacker]

fog 0.32 doesn’t use undionly.kpxe
you need pxelinux.0

[Tom Elliott]

There’s your problem man.

FOG 0.32 is not the same as 1.x.x, which I’d highly recommend upgrading to.

Anyway, what problems are you having. You seem to have taken over this thread and I believe Jjared had 1.x.x.

[Mike Adams]

Jared and I work together, same FOG machine. I have read some posts on upgrading from 0.x to 1.x will cause loss of data, is this still a risk with 1.1.2?

[Tom Elliott]

Loss of data?

What do you mean?

[Junkhacker]

what that’s talking about is not a “risk.” It’s a change in operating procedure. Before, OS was associated with hosts. but the actual operating system resides in the image. so, that’s where that info has been put now.
you should, of course, be prepared for a catastrophic failure, as you should be at all times, and especially when performing a major upgrade. We recommend that you do a fresh install instead of an upgrade, and migrate your data over to the new server. that is because you’re much less likely to have issues that way. upgrading is, however, supported.

Update: I have built a new UBUNTU desktop 14.04lts and have installed FOG 1.1.2 and I am to this point from the instructions on Building UNDIONLY.KPXE file (see link above) and I do not understand the “[B][FONT=sans-serif][COLOR=#000000]Remove the {}'s and only apply the file you wish to build if you want only a specific file.” from this part.[/COLOR][/FONT][/B]

[Junkhacker]

why are you building unidonly.kpxe? one is included with fog, that has fog-specific embedded scripting
