SVN 5419 not loading bzimage correctly

init sizes are correct, however I tried to add clam last night and in trying to edit init.xz and/or init_32.xz by using xz -d init{,_32}.xz and things went a little weird. Im not sure if it worked or not, although per Tom I did uncompress them since I lost the .xz extensions, so I deleted init.xz and init_32.xz and updated svn thinking it would replace correct init.xz and/or init_32.xz.

It does look like new ones were downloaded, however I get the error mentioned at the top of this post.
sizes are 15 and 16 M which look correct per other nodes.

I don’t understand completely how init and bzimage are related (if they are) and how I could’ve messed this up.

What is this setting set to? mine is /fog/

FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> Web Server -> FOG_WEB_ROOT

And this?

Storage Management -> [storage node] -> Web root
mine is set to /fog for that.

And what is the output of: ls -lat /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe

[Hanz]

@Wayne-Workman Both locations have /fog as web root (as it always has been 99.9% sure)

Output is

not sure why the red

I will add that per /opt/fog/.fogsettings, on server, the webroot is set as “fog/”…buuuut once again, I haven’t ever changed this.

FYI this command recursively searches for symbolic links inside of /var/www

The symlink under /var/www looks to be new somewhere around SVN 5389 or newer possibly.

@Hanz I have all the same stuff you have, I’m not sure what’s going on.

@Developers @Moderators a little help?

[Hanz]

@Wayne-Workman Ok so I remembered Tom saying something about the inits being on the client…(thought that was wierd), but apparently after deleting host, installing client, and adding it via pending hosts, all works well now. My only guess is that it now involves security measures or identities.

[Tom Elliott]

@Hanz inits do not rely on the fog client (hostname changer, printer manager, etc…) for booting the host. While it is possible to load ipxe https it is not enforced nor would I recommend it either.

I don’t know what issues you were having or why but if you rebooted the host after re running the installer the only guess I would have is the inits were not finished downloading when the host was trying to use the files.

For now I’m going to solve this thread as I’m fairly sure it is fixed after running the installer.
