Fog wont load past kernal_thread_helper+0x6/0x10
-
Open a terminal and type in sudo nautilus
That will give you a GUI with copy permissions after entering your password.
otherwise use the copy command
cd /var/www/fog/service/ipxe
mv bzImage bzImage.orig.4-15-2014cp /location/of/your/downloaded/file / /var/www/fog/service/ipxe
-
ok the one i downloaded was named tom.elliot i need to change the name to bzImage first correct?
-
Yes, it needs to be named bzImage
-
Ok used nautilus to change the downloaded tom.elliot.32 to bzImage and copied that file to var/www/fog/service/ipxe renamed the original to bzImage<date> and thats that. however when i attempt an image i am still getting bad kernel image. Do i need to reboot? sorry def noob at this
-
Do you have a specific kernel set under the FOG UI for that host??
Also a recheck of what Tom posted above:
[QUOTE]Are you sure you’re using the correct bzImage and init.xz pair? A 32 bit bzImage needs the 32 bit init_32.xz file. A 64 bit bzImage needs the 64 bit kernel.
As you say you’ve upgraded the fog system (I would typically recommend a fresh install) you likely need to adjust the values in FOG Configuration ( ? ) icon -> FOG Settings -> TFTP Server
Make the following changes to the relevant lines:
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL = bzImage (Exactly, NOT fog/kernel/bzImage)
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_32 = bzImage32 (Should already be set)
If using Debian variant (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, mint):
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR = /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/
If using Redhat Variant (e.g. Redhat, Fedora, CentOS, Scientific Linux)
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR = /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/
FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE = init.xz (Exactly, NOT fog/images/init.gz)
FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE_32 = init_32.xz [/QUOTE] -
I have the init_32.xzfile and i made the changes specified above. I errored by trying to update the kernel from the updater page. the part im at now is should i name the kernel bzImage or bzImage32? this is with the copy and paste method and if i’m not mistaking it has to go to the ipxe folder correct?
-
That depends on which kernel that tom.elliot is.
If it’s 32 bit then it needs to be bzImage32.
-
Just download both kernels from here, keep them named as they show and copy them to the ipxe directory.

ok so i am now able to register it and inventory… the last thing i will need assistance with is this. I set a task to upload an image but when the client pxe boots it doesn’t see it and goes to the fog load page. What am i missing?
-
Can you include a screen shot of the task you created?
Are you sure you created a task for the correct host?
Did you get any errors when creating the task?

no errors popped up and yes its the only one like it listed in my inventory. I was able to get it there using the quick inventory function

Viper, check your DHCP server and make sure it points to undionly.kpxe not pxelinux.0.
If that does not work open a mysql terminal and type [SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#262626]“truncate table tasks” this will clear up any tasks from .32.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
If none of that works [SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#262626]what is the output of “[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#262626][url]http://{fogserverip}/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX[/url] spits out (where the x’s are the systems MAC ADDRESS)”[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
You can type it into any machine on the network.[SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#262626][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
For the record this is why we recommend a fresh install vs a update when going from .32 to .33b. If you can, back up your images and hosts and do a clean install of .33b and you will not have to hunt down all of these little changes.

is that the same as a standard terminal window. where do i find that output? is that something i should see when i first boot?
I will load a new drive and see if i can do a "clean boot later on. -

instead of select you will run the truncate table tasks.
Google searches will save your life…
as for [SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#262626]“[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#262626][URL=‘http://%7Bfogserverip%7D/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX’]http://{fogserverip}/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX[/URL] spits out (where the x’s are the systems MAC ADDRESS)”[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]
You put that into any browser on any client on the network, replace {fogserverip} with your fog servers IP address, and replace [SIZE=13px][FONT=arial][COLOR=#262626]“[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE]

Ok Starting from scratch new drive, new install of ubuntu 12.04LTU and fog 0.33b installed from script. made the following changes thus far.
"FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL = bzImage (Exactly, NOT fog/kernel/bzImage)
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_32 = bzImage32 (Should already be set)
If using Debian variant (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, mint):
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR = /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/
If using Redhat Variant (e.g. Redhat, Fedora, CentOS, Scientific Linux)
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR = /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/
FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE = init.xz (Exactly, NOT fog/images/init.gz)
FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE_32 = init_32.xz
"
when i try to pxe a client pc it doesnt reach the fog. It gives me no tf
no network found
pxe t01 not found
network not found -
check to make sure your tftp server service is running
-
What should my [FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#333333] FOG_TFTP_PXE_CONFIG_DIR be?i noticed its different than before[/COLOR][/FONT]
-
i don’t believe it is used in 0.33b, it’s a holdover from when fog used pxelinux
