      Hi,

      I was trying to use fog 0.32 with kernel 2.6.39 (default) on Dell Vostro 5470, but it was hanging in this error: “nvidiafb: unable to setup MTRR”

      After some tests, I got it works fine with kernel 2.6.35.7 PS

      Anyone could update HW List on Wiki?

        done, thanks for your work on this!

        Would you mind testing a few other kernels and reporting your findings so we can continue to update this device?

          Ricardo,

          Can you give a shot at my kernel?

          [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/url]

          It shouldn’t rely upon system/device specific frame buffers and in theory would work on your system. If it doesn’t I’ll add mtrr support into the kernel, if you’re willing to test.

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

            Hello everyone!

            I’m trying everything that i’ve found on the web, but i cant make the Dell Vostro 5470 work with FOG when instaled with Windows 7.

            With the default kernel, goes to the “usind disk /dev/sda1” and then stop. when you hit “enter”, it says “unable to find partition” and reboots.

            Already tried a few different types of Image on fog server and i’ve tried those kernels (both of this topic). unlucky so far.

            any more tips?
            thanks!

              Give this a shot and try to image the machine again.

              You need a partition on the disk before you try to clone anything to it.

                  The guide I posted doesn’t care what version of FOG you are using.

                    Hello Jaymes!

                    1st of all, thanks for the ridiculous fast reply. really appreciated. 😉
                    2nd: I’ve already formated all partitions and installed a brand new Windows. it only has 2 partitions (that 100mb crap that windows generates, and the other partition wich windows is installed.).

                    i was able to do a FOG Image when the disk had Windows 8.1 installed.
                    My problem is with this windows 7. I did everything from scratch 5 times now.

                    With 2.6.35.7 PS Kernel, i got a Kernel Panic when booting.
                    And with other Kernels, it just doesnt work (sometimes appears kernel panic, sometimes “no chip?”

                            gdisk -l /dev/sda

                            Found valid MBR and GPT. Witch do you want to use?

                            Using MBR:
                            2 partitions, one with 100mb, other with 465.7 Gb, both MICROSOFT BASIC DATA.

                            Using GPT
                            Using GPT and creating fresh protective MBR
                            Disk /dev/sda: 976773168 sectors, 465.8 gb

                              Run these commands:
                              [code]fixparts /dev/sda
                              w[/code]

                              Follow thru with the rest of the code, cancel the debug code and regenerate your upload task. Reboot the client and it should upload properly.

                                Yes!! It worked!!
                                Thanks TOM and JAYMES! I owe you guys a BBQ whenever you guys come to Brazil!

                                Just to know, that was being caused by that GPT partition? And why? I don’t want to do the same mistake.
                                I dont remember anything related to GTP partition during the instalation or any step of the process.

                                  i would guess that whatever method you used to re-partition didn’t wipe the boot sector, where the GPT/MBR information is stored

                                    I used the partition manager from Windows Install Disk. Wiped everything. The disk was clear. Then created 1 partition to Windows (and he automatically created that 100mb partition). Thats all.

                                      yeah, that doesn’t wipe everything.

                                        Good to know. Thanks guys. I’ll put some information here, so I think you can lock this thread.

                                        Situation: Dell Vostro 5470 was unable to send image to FOG server after full wipe and Windows 7 reinstalled.

                                          To be honest I don’t think you even needed to change your kernel

                                          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

                                          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                                            It didn’t worked with the default kernel.
                                            I guess this will be specific with Dell Vostro 5470. (the kernel part)
