    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.

                                  Also When I do a quick image and select the OS it goes to a black blank screen with a flashing cursor. When I reboot to PXE I get a bzimage error. I have to go into the GUI and delete the task out. If i set an active task in the GUI to reimage it I get the same bzimage error. This is all so confusing and a mess. Fix one issue to bounce into another.

                                    For the record, I run fog inside Hyper-V, and the only kind of image I upload is from physical machines.

                                    I use undionly.kkpxe because Lenovo desktops have issues.

                                    For some Lenovos, I’ve had success with kernel 3.18.3 x86_x64, and I use the trunk version of fog (the latest revisions).

                                    What are the exact models of Lenovos you’re using? Have you checked our “Working Hardware” and “Problematic Hardware” lists?

                                      We have M73, M81 etc desktops. Our laptops are from the B560/B590 all the way to E550’s.

                                      So the .kkpx is better for you on lenovos than the .kpxe?

                                      Do I need to revert my kernel from 4.0.2 all the way back to 3.18.3?

                                        They are just suggestions, things I’ve had luck with for Lenovos.

                                        Changing your boot file and changing your kernel is really easy to do. (easier in trunk)
