Latitude E7440 issue on image
-
We have a new model laptop I am trying to image with our standard windows 7 image. It fails on the initial registering of the device with no noticeable errors, it just hangs when going through the registration, before adding the details.
It does come with a minicard ssd. Could this be the problem? I can’t find a way to find a log of any errors.

Run compatability test.
From the fog PXE boot menu, you will see:
Boot from hard disk
Run memtest86
Quick host registration and Inventroy
Perform full host registration and Inventory
Quick Image
Client system information
Debug ModeA. Choose Client System Information
B. Your computer will load another menu and it will look like this:
1.) Reboot
2.) IP Information
3.) Partition Information
4.) Check FOG compatability
5.) Ping a Host
6.) Display MAC Address
7.) Show DMI InformationC. Type 4 and press Enter
-
Its failing after the Client system information. Not getting to FOG Compatibility.
-
I updated the kernel. The laptop boots fine now.
-
Good Deal, sorry I was buys with a server yesterday and did not get a chance to leave a recommendation, I see you have found the path I would have sent you down anyway
If you don’t mind, would you tell us which kernel you used to get these units to function properly?

3.8.8 from here [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/Kernels/[/url]

Thanks so much, enjoy your FOG server

HI,
i m digging out this topic cause I have a problem with the same model of computer…
I m actually using Latest stable version is 1.2.0 Svn version: 3118.
If i choose the option “Choose Client System Information” (or anything else), it s not working… I have message telling all the time
“Sending discover”…
I m in production, what would be the impact of changing the kernel ? :-)))[url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/1/1806_IMG_20150324_140218~01.jpg?:”]IMG_20150324_140218~01.jpg[/url]

thank you!
i search the command to backup the actual kernel and i found this
[CODE]sudo cp /tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage /tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage.backup
sudo mv [downloaded kernel] /tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage[/CODE]
but i think that I m another version. In 1.2.0 svn3118, i dont see those files… So i m a little confused and am not sure which files i should backup… -
And which version do you recommend ? 3.19.1, 3.19.0 or 3.18.x
-
kernel’s are downloaded by http in fog 1.0+ systems. they are located in <web-root>/fog/service/ipxe
<web-root> on ubuntu systems, for example, is /var/www -
We’re up to 3.19.2, so maybe that one?
-
ok thank you, i ll try it tomorrow. 1st i’ll make a backup
-
i couldn’t wait… but it s not working.
