      @george1421 A bit puzzling this one is. I deleted the Host from FOG, then re-registered it using a different name: ST-3501. Then I created an image upload task for the Host, and rebooted - same thing “Host is not registered!”. So I rebooted and when I hit F12, Choose USB NIC (IPV4), then it states - "Start PXE over IPV4 on MAC: CC-48-3A-A9-6D-16. See attached:

      PXE Boot MAC.jpg

      But when I choose Client System Information from the FOG Boot menu it gives me a different MAC which matches the printed label on the WD19 Dock:
      FOG MAC Addresses.jpg

      When I click on the Host name in the dashboard, the MAC it lists there is the MAC on both screens in the previous Pic.:

      So I am not sure where that, I will call it “Booting MAC address of " CC-48-3A-A9-6D-16” is coming from and that might just be my problem?

      Also regarding updating the Kernel, I don’t have an option to download anything. I don’t have proxy configured and not sure what to try next.

        @michaeloberg @george1421 My colleague figured out that we need to disable the MAC address pass through and now it is uploading 🙂 I need to wait for this to finish then pull it down to have a valid test, but things are looking up for imaging at least. Still no progress on the Kernel update, is that needed?

          @michaeloberg Kernel update. If your fog server doesn’t have direct internet access then you can download the kernels from here: https://fogproject.org/kernels/

          Grab these two files
          https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.64
          and
          https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.32

          Rename them to this respectivly.
          Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.64 -> bzImage
          Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.32 ->bzImage32

          Watch your case because it IS important.

          Now move those files to /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe directory. It probably wouldn’t hurt to rename the existing ones in case you need to go back for some reason.

          The next time you pxe boot the updated kernels will be used.

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

            @george1421 I am such a novice at this I don’t know how/where to start. I downloaded the 2 files to my Windows 10 PC, and renamed them (watching the case) to my downloads folder. Then I putty into my FOG server, but am stuck. I am guessing I was supposed to download the files from my FOG server but don’t know how. Simple tasks like that - downloading files, moving, and renaming are difficult because I have no Linux knowledge. In the DOS world I can easily copy, rename, move, create, delete folders but the syntax is different and just a simple, type this “xyz” to download files, then type “abc” to navigate to your Kernel folder, then “qwe” to rename your old files, then whatever else would be helpful. I am sorry as this has to drive you mad working with people like me. I need to learn, I want to, but for lack of better excuses - I don’t have time.

            Thanks,

            Mike

              @michaeloberg Give that a try (run as root) :

              cd /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe
              mkdir backup_kernels
              mv bzImage* backup_kernels
              wget -O bzImage https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.64
              wget -O bzImage32 https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.32
              chown www-data:www-data bzImage*
              

              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)

                @Sebastian-Roth I was able to follow along until the line where I type the wget command, it comes back with “failed:Temporary failure in name resolution” Below is everything I had type in Putty:

                root@fog-server:~# cd /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe
                root@fog-server:/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe# mkdir backup_kernels
                root@fog-server:/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe# mv bzImage* backup_kernels
                root@fog-server:/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe# wget -O bzImage https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.64
                –2020-10-13 12:35:45-- https://fogproject.org/kernels/Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.64
                Resolving fogproject.org (fogproject.org)… failed: Temporary failure in name resolution.
                wget: unable to resolve host address ‘fogproject.org’

                  @michaeloberg So you don’t have internet access from this server?

                  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)

                    @Sebastian-Roth Unknown, I should. I know in the past when I ran updates I had to download updates by typing in:
                    sudo apt-get update && apt-get install git

                    then something like

                    git checkout dev-branch

                    and it would download something from

                    https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject.git/root/fogproject

                    This is from my notes when I updated the fog server in Feb. 2019. So these may not be entirely accurate but I know that it downloaded something??

                    I can also ping 8.8.8.8 from the FOG server. Lost I am 🤢

                        Turns out the DNS server was not ser correctly and the server got it’s IP via DHCP. We got that fixed.
