Latest FOG 0.33b
-
I started from debug mode, and typed in fdisk -l, it shows me start sector 1. The disk has only 1 partition, there is only /dev/sda1.

I get exactly the same issue using REV 1009.
Also I’m unable to upload a Windows 7 Image, it flashes on the blue upload screen then restarts.
Deploying ‘looks’ like its working, until it restarts then just crashes before the windows logo (note its not the image as using the exact same image of previous revisions 999 and below it worked fine)
Maybe the problem is linked in someway? -

It sounds like the issue for you is related to it creating the partition. To my knowledge, XP only uses the one partition. I correct the start sector, if it’s blank or 1 to set it 63.

Maybe the problem is linked in someway?[/quote]Joe, can you start yours as debug (Download or Upload?) and run the command:
[code]parted -s /dev/sda2 -a opt u kB mkpart primary ntfs 105906176s 100%[/code]Tell me what it spits out at you.
It sounds for your particular issue, is it’s not recreating the second partition and I need to find out why. I have two commands:
[code]parted -s ${part} -a opt u kB mkpart primary ntfs ${defaultpart2start}B ${layoutSize}
parted -s ${part} -a opt u kB mkpart primary ntfs ${defaultpart2start}B ${diskSize}kB[/code]Back to back. One way or another, it’s supposed to create the second partition. Some drives don’t mind 100%, others need the size specified directly. I don’t know why. On an 80GB drive, it wants percents. On a 50GB drive, it wants the actual disk size. It’s dependent upon the drive itself.
${layoutSize} is set to 100%
${diskSize} reads the max size the drive can contain. -
r1010 released, hopefully to address start sector 1 for windows xp images. Please test. I don’t have XP to play around with.
Thank you Albatros for the info.
Joe, I’ll try to come up with a solution for your issue as well, but on the systems I have to test with everything seems to work. So I’ll need your help if at all possible.
Thank you,

I upgraded the fog server, tried to upload an image from the client to the server and get this error:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/a6XlaEh.png[/IMG]Tried this wth other computers, same problem. I am not sure what’s now wrong there, sorry Tom.
-
First of all, thank you! You’re doing a great job
I want to ask for UEFI support, when I try to register a PC it throws an “unsupported BIOS version” error and later a Kernel Panic.
There are any news about of that?
Thanks!
Joan
P.D: I was writing this message at the same time as Albatros
-
The issue you’re seeing is the init.gz file you’re using, seems to not have lzma support. So it can’t mount the rootfs which will, of course, cause a kernel panic. You’re sure you’re on revision 1010?
I don’t have any UEFI systems to test with, but could you provide more information about the kernel panic? Ultimately, I don’t care so much about the error. That’s fairly typical as the kernel has many bios options available to it, but not all will be supported.
Thank you,
-
Well, I thought the error was caused by UEFI but it is the same kernel panic that Albastro has posted.
I’m running the r1010 revision.
Thank you!
-
I believe I’ve found out my idiotness of 1010. I gunzipped where I shoulda lzma’d. Right now I’m rebuilding init.gz so it should be fixed shortly, sorry about all of that.
-
r1011 released to address gzip/lzma issue. Also adds resize2fs program with Gilou’s suggestion.
Rsync is also included.
-
r1012 released to fix the FOG script again. FOG Script did not contain the sector 1 fix. Sorry about that.

Ty, Tom.
I tested it and got syntax error on line 837. Had to change
[CODE]if [ “$partitionStart” == “” || “$partitionStart” == “1” ]; then[/CODE]
to
[CODE]if [ “$partitionStart” == “” ] || [ “$partitionStart” == “1” ]; then[/CODE]After I fixed that , I get this error
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ifmTWSi.png[/IMG]Sorry that I have now the next error.
Ty very much for your great work, will try to test snapins tomorrw and will will report back. -
You don’t have to be sorry for the error. It looks like it didn’t create the partition as required. Probably because it’s not actually resizing the partition in the code base. Rebuilding as we speak.

r1013 is out. Please try this and let me know.
Thanks,

I can not test this now, will test it tomorrow. Thanks for your quick response.
Edit:
I looked into the current revision. You didn’t fixed the syntax error, here:
[CODE]if [ “$partitionStart” == “” || “$partitionStart” == “1” ]; then[/CODE]Is in file src/buildroot/package/fog/scripts/bin/fog on line 837. Please fix.
Ty,
Albatros -
Yes I did fix that, but not quite on the src/buildroot side yet. I just created a couple of patches and updated a few of the FOG components. Once tested and working, I’ll update the src directories with all the proper information.
In the init.gz file, however, this fix is already in place. If it didn’t take I don’t know why not, but the build I’m setting up right now will, for sure, have this in place.

r1016 released.
@Albatros
I think, if I hadn’t have had that typo (besides line 837) it was actually a problem with the parted command itself. It was trying to align the first sector of the disk for optimal value, but the sector 63 is not optimal for the drive and parted would just fail miserably. Without the -a opt, it should, essentially, force 63s.Updated all the src packages and even was able to update pigz to the latest revision 2.3.1. Fixed the issue in the download information for pigz so it should download properly. Created a patch for chntpw-source-110511, so it corrects the mistakes that, originally, forced me to create my own chntpw package. Removed the dl directory to save some space. Stripped the partclone binaries so things are slightly smaller.
The init.gz is now compiled using the sed from buildroot, rather than the sed from busybox. This relates to awk as well so hopefully if you are doing debugging, you get more familiar code base rather than, I think, the limited code base from the busybox binary.
I hope this fixes the issues we saw today. Basically, I was idiotic. I thought I gzipped the package, but that would have worked fine. It was my compression (manually) that caused the issue. I was using:
[code]lzma -z -9 -e -c rootfs.ext2 > init.gz[/code]
When I should have only been using:
[code]lzma -9 -e -c rootfs.ext2 > init.gz[/code]Theoretically the -z shouldn’t have mattered, but it did in this case. Sorry about that everybody.
My tarball is updated to the latest revision as well if you want to use that. It doesn’t contain the .svn information which will ultimately get copied to your fog server if you use the svn checkout method.
bzImage is still, in this revision, set as 3.12.2. I’m well aware, and have already compiled (as usual) 3.12.3 and it can be downloaded using [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/url] as per usual.
Hopefully this helps everyone, and again, I’m very sorry about all the problems today.

Tested new revision, checked start sector from debug mode it shows now 63. Tried to upload image, get the error shown in the image of this [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/latest-fog-0-33b.6476/page-12#post-20738’]post[/URL].

Yes, I have linked to that post in my post.
