Unable to register Dell Inspiron 13 7000 Series to fog server

[Sebastian Roth]

Hmmm, I keep forgetting how old 1.2.0 is. Kernel panic might be coming up because 1.2.0 is missing the initrd=init.xz kernel option. Or it is the kernel/init mismatch as Tom suggested. Which kernel version do you use by the way? (file /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage - if you see bzImage/init.xz being loaded on client bootup - otherwise bzImage32)

As I already said - you might want to look into setting up a FOG trunk server (don’t upgrade your running system but setup another machine for testing this) which comes with all the newest things included. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Upgrade_to_trunk

If you don’t want to be bothered with the very latest stuff (bug fixes every day!) you better checkout SVN version 4103 which is pretty stable (svn co -r 4103 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk)

In /var/www/fog/service/ipxe I see these files:

At first I upgraded to SVN version, but I´am not completely sure, if this Version is installed and works. Where can I see if I´m using SVN version?
Then I upgraded to FOG-Trunk. I did a snapshot from the VM. So I can test, up- and downgrade easily. Unfortunately I got a lot of problems: Apache 2 and tftp didn’t start with a lot of errors. So I don´t want to upgrade to the trunk version at work.

@Warrender6 From what I can see in the two screenshots those files are probably on the same system (date and time). So I guess this is still FOG 1.2.0. I am still not sure if you can make this work with 1.2.0 but what is very clear is that init.xz is too small. Somehow got damaged?? You can download a copy straight from here: http://sourceforge.net/p/freeghost/code/HEAD/tree/tags/1.2.0/packages/web/service/ipxe/init.xz?format=raw

If you want to go FOG trunk we need more information on what went wrong. Exact error messages!
