hi,

thanks so I need to run whole of the upload debug operation here -> https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Debug_Mode
if so at what point should I run your command above.

Thanks

OK slightly embarrassingly may have spotted the issue, a stray 5800 hp which physically looks identical was in the pile of fresh machines i decided to image expecting it to be a 7800 would probably not help! Have now got an actual 7800 which I am trying to image.

Also moved to svn build 4103 after reading some good things.

Running the image operation as we speak, will see if this works and post back.

Thanks

ok that didnt work same issue with the EBR signature - however the image now completes and DOES boot (since 4103 upgrade). Is it safe to ignore the error or is there something deeper causing it.

EBR Signature for logical partition invalid

Probably same in your case, trying to deploy to an completely empty disk, hmm?

Hi yes, in this case had 5 machines supplied to us refurb with blank disks which I need to image. With my latest test finishing and booting don’t I need to worry?

Can certainly test with a machine with non empty disk.

I’m fairly sure we do attempt initializing the disk, but the basis of the fogpartinfo (which I would still love to find a more suitable method to get partition names), is likely breaking things right now.

@bengillam Hi, it’s before use the command fog to run the job.

so im a little confused, so the error im getting is a bug? In which case 1) is it safe to ignore if my resultant imaged pcs are booting, and 2) is there a more stable build you could recommend? (other than the much older 1.2.0 version)

Thanks

1. From my point of view it’s not a bug. Save to ignore.
2. There is no stable build newer than 1.2.0 at the moment. But Tom has reworked the scripts and you are more than welcome to upgrade to the latest trunk and test things.
