Black screen after deployment
-
@Wayne-Workman I’ve tried all combinations with UEFI / Legacy and Exit / Sanboot but I haven’t tried Grub

Those things are not the HDD operation mode type. Those are the Firmware operation mode and hdd exit type.
Somewhere in the firmware there are a set of options for HDD operation mode. The options should be something like Legacy, AHCI, RAID, RAID ON, ATAPI and possibly others.
-
@Wayne-Workman AHCI so.

Another question : do I have to use Sysprep or Fogprep before doing the upload ?

Nope. It’s optional. Some prefer sysprep, others prefer not. The current Fogprep is obsolete.
I don’t sysprep or fogprep for my images - I’m doing fine.

Thanks !
I’m gonna try without them -
I don’t know how but it worked last night. I’ve used :
- Multiple Partitions, Single Disk
- Fog Client
- Sysprep (audit mode)
- Fogprep
And this morning without Sysprem it didn’t work… I really understand nothing
-
What’s the mainfunction of FogClient ? Is it truly necessary to intall it before uploading ?
-
I don’t understand the question.
-
what is it for ?

I’ve find a solution on this post :
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/3695/using-custom-mbr-for-lenovo-clientsI will try immediately, but I’d like to find a solution to not have to physically intervene on the machine I want to upload.

Hi, it’s a manufacturer installation or you have install the OS from scratch ? (format/create partition)
-
Yes it’s a manufactured installation, with multiple partitions (Win7 OS, Lenovo Recovery Manager and another system partition)
-
Maybe there’s a solution to do a backup & deployment without touching the MBR of the computer (the images are saved into .img files for each partition and one .mbr file).

The simple/stable way is to install from scratch your computer… a normal installation, without manufacturer’s bullshit.

Another potential fix would be to try svn/trunk/dev as I believe the mbr is downloaded up to the first two megs of hdd. I don’t know if it will work but from what I’ve heard it seems to do the trick.
