        I used a different desktop, and it takes a while to boot but it does if I wait longer. My old server was .32 fog and it was never this slow to load up. But hey its working somewhat now just slow. Thanks for the help

          what model of computer are you testing with?
          speed should be comparable with 0.32 on startup, and i think you’ll find that imaging tasks have sped up a bit

            everything we have are lenovo’s. We get to the PXE menu then it takes about a minute or 2 after for the black screen to go away into the fog prompt.

              would it hurt to go ahead and go into the trunk versions using svn

                I would say no. Everything is really stable in the trunk right now. That being said, back up anything critical if FOG is in production for you.

                  Really sounds like its timing out at one of the steps. I second the recommendation to go SVN.

                    I already am svn at 3395. I can get hosts to register once. Now when I go back into the pxe boot I get a bzimage error could not boot etc.

                      Seemed like from all the installs no one had this many problems getting pxe to boot. So when I register and schedule the host to image it gives me that bzimage error. But all the new computers will register fine but imaging won’t happen because of this error.

                        have you verified that the bzImage, bzImage32, init.xz, and init_32.xz files downloaded successfully?

                          how are you registering your hosts? from the pxe boot menu, or by entering the mac address into the web gui?

                            I have registered host from PXE and the GUI. I uploaded a fresh image into the server. It see’s that image and you can see it in the GUI and command line. I am getting a file issue it happens to quick when I image I get all the way through to where it picks a node.

                            I get this
                            *Using Hard disk: /dev/sda
                            *Erasing Current MBR/GPI Tables…Done
                            awk: fatal: cannot open file '/images/WIN732bbaseimage/d1.minimum.par
                            r reading (No such file or directory)
                            Done

                              Then it just says task complete and reboots. Never images anything

                                are you getting bzimage errors, or does it go into the imaging task and fail out? those are entirely different things

                                  no the bzimage was only an issue when I perform a registration and select yes to image I get the bzimage error. The above error I just posted is when I try to image from fog on a good image or so I thought. It fails out of the image task at that point then says it completed and restarts.

                                    sounds like Tom just released a new version that’s targeted at problematic Lenovos [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/hardware-currently-working-with-fog-v1-x-x.10685/page-4#post-47392[/url]

                                          OK that svn update seems to have fixed me getting to image. The image went through but I get the blue screen of death after it starts windows when its done. Maybe I just have a bad image. I still get that same error that I listed above except now with new 3396 it goes through and images. I am re uploading an image from an actual computer this time, instead of a VM see if I get a good image that way.
