Stuck uploading image (Booting from SAN device0x80)
-
When trying to upload an image, I get stuck on “Booting from SAN device 0x80”
See picture. Any ideas? All help is appreciated!
-
@almontschools So the message you see is caused by booting from the network to FOG first, and then FOG seeing that there are no active tasks for that computer, then telling the computer to try to boot from the HDD using the SAN style. And that message displays when that last bit fails.
Can you go to Task Management in the web UI and verify if there is still an upload task or not?
Also, what happens before this error?
-
There’s still a task showing in Task Management. Before this, it seems that everything is running normal.
-
@almontschools Can other hosts upload? What model of computer is this?
-
We’ve had two completely different model computers upload images successfully. So, yes, others can upload.
We’re getting the error on two different computers of the same model when trying to boot to the hard drive after the network boot.The model we’re using right now is an HP DC7100 Small Form Factor.
-
Can you change the hdd top from raid to ahci/ide? That or you could try exit or grub style exit types.
-
We changed the exit type to both exit and grub and neither worked. Exit didn’t do anything and grub wouldn’t execute cmain().
-
what version of fog are you running?
does the computer have more than 1 network card? -
FOG 1.2.0. Only one network card (integrated).
-
@almontschools Did you put the firmware into AHCI mode for the hard drive? I’ve had a problem similar to this before and that fixed it, and Tom was the one who suggested it lol.
-
what do you see if you go to <fog-server-ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:14:38:c8:25:5b&arch=x86_64 in a web browser?
-
I get a plain white page with the following text:
#!ipxe
sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80(I attached a screenshot too)
-
Is your FOG Configuration set to “No menu type”?
-
It was. I turned it off then tested. Still the same “Booting from SAN device 0x80” but on the FOG splash screen.
-
Change the boot exit type. Try exit or grub.
-
When in “Exit”, we get a stationary blinking cursor in the top left of the monitor.
When in “GRUB,” we get the following:
Launching GRUB…
begin pxe scan… Starting cmail()… -
Is it possible that the Upload just went bad? I did some additional troubleshooting/testing – I set the boot order to boot to the hard drive first, then fired up the machine. The OS didn’t boot, but the stationary cursor in the top left hand corner of the screen appeared.
So…is it possible that there actually wasn’t an image downloaded to the host?
-
Have you changed the sata controller type in your bios yet? We haven’t heard if that part was done. Just because we suggest things doesn’t mean there’s nothing else on your side to do.
-
We’ve tried that already–unfortunately this specific model doesn’t support AHCI. We’ve been doing other things as well…just haven’t posted detailed accounts of all that we’ve done. We do want to thank you for everything you’ve done to help us thus far, though.
-
What mode is the sata (in bios) set to right now?
AHCI is just one suggestion. Is this being booted from EFI? How is it loading? We NEED the details to help you.
The fact that NONE of the exit styles are working indicate a problem with the BIOS configuration, but I do not know what your bios Config is.
