      i have to capture again before deploy ?

      Just to be clearer, here is my configuration :

      On my own pxe server(dhcp and tftp) 192.168.151.247
      dhcp is configured like that :

       next-server 192.168.151.247;
       filename "pxelinux.0";
      

      then on my tftp server i’ve got pxelinux.0 into the tftp root directory
      and
      this configuration

      LABEL FOG_ETUDIANTS
      KERNEL fog/ipxe.krn dhcp && chain http://192.168.39.243/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}
      
      

      192.168.39.243 is the fog ip address
      Do i have to put on my tftp server the new ipxe.krn file ?

        @plegrand you should not have to re upload the image.

          @Tom-Elliott Hello
          Fog 6427 / 4874

          here is the tests i made

          • Restore the station with an old symantec ghost image
          • List partitions with diskpart
          DISKPART> list disk
           Disque ###  Statut      Taille     Libre     Dyn  Gpt
           --------  ---------  -----------  --------   ---  ---
           Disque 0    Connecté     149 GB      0 B
          
           DISKPART> select disk 0
           Le disque 0 est maintenant le disque sélectionné.
          
           DISKPART> list partition
           Partition ###  Type              Taille     Décalage
           -------------  ----------------  -------  -----------
           Partition 1    OEM                126 MB    20 KB
           Partition 2    Principale          49 GB   126 MB
           Partition 3    Principale         100 GB    49 GB
          
          
          • Defragmentation of all the partition
          • On fog create a image :
          	default: Windows 2000/XP
          	Single Disk - Resizable
          	Everything
          
          • Assign the new image to the host
          • On fog create a new capture task for the station as a debug task
          • Launch the task
          • Capture works fine
            On the server fog :
          	d1.fixed_size_partitions
          	d1.minimum.partitions
          	d1.original.fstypes
          	d1.original.swapuuids
          	d1p1.img
          	d1p2.img
          	d1p3.img
          	d1.partitions
          
          	cat d1.fixed_size_partitions 
          	1:
          
          	cat d1.minimum.partitions 
          	label: dos
          	label-id: 0x2bd2c32a
          	device: /dev/sda
          	unit: sectors
          
          	/dev/sda1 : start=          40, size=      257480, type=de
          	/dev/sda2 : start=      257520, size=    31386360, type=7, bootable
          	/dev/sda3 : start=   102657680, size=      779520, type=7
          
          	cat d1.original.fstypes 
          	/dev/sda2 ntfs
          	/dev/sda3 ntfs
          
          
          	cat d1.partitions 
          	label: dos
          	label-id: 0x2bd2c32a
          	device: /dev/sda
          	unit: sectors
          
          	/dev/sda1 : start=          40, size=      257480, type=de
          	/dev/sda2 : start=      257520, size=   102400160, type=7, bootable
          	/dev/sda3 : start=   102657680, size=   209839360, type=7
          

          At reboot, the station stay displaying “Booting…”

          Then i try to deploy the image

          • Create a new deploy task for the host

          During the restauration of /dev/sda1, i’ve got the following error message from partclone

          Target partition size (132MB) is smaller than source 132 MB. 
          Use option -C to disable size checking (Dangerous)
          
          

          And just after

          Image failed to restore and exited with exit code 0 (writeImage)
          Args passed /images/test/d1p1 img* /dev/sda1
          
          

          Then the only solution is to redeploy the old ghost image 😉

                  @plegrand As Tom said, could you please upgrade to the latest version. He is saying that you don’t need to re-upload. But I’d say it wouldn’t hurt anyway.

                  You don’t need to update ipxe.krn on your TFTP server if booting the client works fine. The iPXE binary is not related to the error you see AFAIK!

                      @plegrand Please boot that client you tried to write the image to in debug deploy again (schedule a normal deploy task but tick “Schedule task as a debug task” in the advanced settings box just before you hit the button “CREATE DEPLOY TASK FOR …”).

                      When you get to the shell please run sfdisk -d /dev/sda and post a picture of the output here (we need the exact numbers!!).

                          @plegrand Did you copy&paste the numbers or typed them from the screen? I hope there is no typo in them! 😉

                          If the figures are correct this is simple maths. The original first partition (as seen further down) starts at sector 40 and ends at 257480. Makes 257440 in total. After writing to the new disk the first partition starts at 63 (which should not be an issue) but ends at 257024. Makes a total of 256961 sectors for the first partition. Slightly smaller than the original one.

                          I guess our re-sizing logic is still hating those recovery partitions (type=de)!

                            I think I found where the issue is. Please give me some more time to see why things go wrong…

                              @plegrand Can you please do a debug UPLOAD task on the original client you pull the image from. You don’t need to do the full upload. I just need to get some information. Run the following command when you get to the shell and post the full output here: blkid -po udev /dev/sda1

                              You can simply delete the task in the web interface and shutdown that client after you got the information.

                                    @plegrand Thanks for posting all the details. They were really helpful in finding the issue and being able to replicate this on my test system. Tom and I have been working on a fix and it is up now. Please upgrade to the latest version and re-run the installer! No need to re-upload. Just try deploying to your machine and let us know if things are working.

                                        @plegrand That’s a different issue… We’ve seen this reported by another user yesterday. I think @Tom-Elliott is onto it already. Stay tuned.

                                          @Sebastian-Roth Hello
                                          then i made the test to deploy. Except the ftp problem (solved for the moment by editing “/var/www/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php”.
                                          There is again a problem :
                                          Now the deployement works fine, i mean no error message from partclone but once deployement finished :
                                          “Error loading operating system”

                                          i made some test :

                                          sfdisk -d /dev/sda
                                          label: dos
                                          label-id: 0x2bd2c32a
                                          device: /dev/sda
                                          unit: sectors
                                          
                                          /dev/sda1 : start=          40, size=      257480, type=de
                                          /dev/sda2 : start=      257520, size=   102401024, type=7, bootable
                                          /dev/sda3 : start=   102658544, size=   209841152, type=7
                                          

                                          For sfdisk as you can see , the informations are not the same than my older post

                                            @plegrand Are source and destination machine the same model? Please let us know what kind of hardware you are doing this on. Check the BIOS settings as well. Searching for that error on the internet I found several people who have issues after cloning a machine. See if you can match up the BIOS settings of source and destination on disk geometry. See here:

                                            The most likely solution is that your HD geometry is set wrong… On many motherboards in the BIOS setting for your HD, it is set to AUTO… which sometimes tries to use CHS which is incorrect for most modern computers. Manually set it to LBA instead.

                                            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)
