      Hello,
      I have one working Lenovo T440s that will upload an image, but when I try to use a T430 with a 256GB SSD it refuses to upload the image.

      Info

      • Trying to upload a sysprepped Windows 8.1 image
      • SSD is a Lite-ON LCS-256M6S
      • Fog compatibility check says I have a GPT table, but I am missing a fake MS-DOS reference
      • Using Kernel 3.15.4 TomElliott (x86_64)
      • I have tried the 3.14.2 TomElliott Kernel as well (64 bit)

      Is this a Kernel issue? What logs should I review? I seem to remember looking at Apache logs in the past, is this still the case to troubleshoot v.1.x.x?

                Did you try the reported fix by updating to the latest SVN?

                            no, if you need a program to remote into the server, try putty

                              This didn’t fix the issue. Still stuck at the Dev/Sda screen. Once I press enter it closes out and says there are no active tasks. Any other ideas?

                                  Use the above code to download a new “svn” folder if you’ve never done so before. If you’ve done this already run the following to update:
                                  [code]cd trunk
                                  svn up
                                  cd bin

                                  Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved.

                                      I also got multiple Optiplex 3020. The ones with a normal HDD are working like a charm with FOG (1.2.0).
                                      But we also got some Optiplex 3020 with a 128GH SanDisk SSD (straight from Dell), and uploading an image on this type of 3020 is not possible. The task keeps hanging on : "Using Hard Disk /dev/sda ", and nothing further happens (same problem as topic).

                                      Anybody got an idea? I’ve tried almost every kernel available. Image is a Windows 7 enterprise image.

                                        It’s not a kernel problem causing issues. Rather, it seems to me, more likely that SSD’s are requiring GPT structures to operate, where normal HDD’s can use either MBR or GPT partitioning schemes.

                                        If you’d be willing, you can create an upload - debug task and when at the “command prompt” type fixparts. Write any changes it suggests, and once complete, run fog to upload the image.

                                        Hopefully this will help you out, but I don’t know right now. I don’t have any ssd disks to test against.

                                          as of late, most of my testing has been done with an Optiplex 3020 with a SSD from crucial or the 500GB HD from dell, both have worked without problems. just thought i would mention this so that it would be known that if the problem is specific to SSD’s, it’s not all SSD’s that have the problem.

                                            Thanks for your support Tom! We’ve imaged HP computers with a Kingston SSD before, so we know Fog works with SSD.
                                            I’ve done the upload-debug option, en fixed MBR issues with fixparts.

                                            Upload now works fine! Hope after this Windows stills boots 🙂
                                            Thanks again for your help!
