Chainloading failure: Toshiba Tecra C40-C UEFI & Samsung SSD MZNLF128HCHP-000

@george1421
The three pics are the order in which it fails.

1. PXE booting
   2)FOG menu
   3)Chainloading failure (when leaving the Fog menu after the 3 sec.)

The other picture with mostly a black screen is the Raw image failure at the end of the cloning process.

I will submit more pics of the different exits and what they do.

@mabarton Lets not focus on the exit modes right now. I think they are all related. But lets focus on image capture. Because if you can’t capture the image, the exit mode issue is a moot point. A clear image of the capture error will give the devs something to reference.

@george1421 the pic shows ftp issues for image capture

[Tom Elliott]

@george1421 uefi exit should be handled by rEFInd type but it needs a Config file for it as well.

[mabarton]

This is when I attempted a Raw image. At the end this came up

Looking at the picture that has FTP related messages, the upload script can authenticate but cannot enter into the ftp root directory - which is /home/fog. This is exactly what the error says in fact.

Troubleshooting should focus on this directory. Does it exist? What are the permissions?

Please post the output of this command:
ls -lahRt /home/fog

[Tom Elliott]

@Tom-Elliott it appears, maybe, /home/fog folder doesn’t exist?

[mabarton]

@Tom-Elliott
It doesn’t

[Wayne Workman]

@mabarton said in Chainloading failure: Toshiba Tecra C40-C UEFI & Samsung SSD MZNLF128HCHP-000:

@Tom-Elliott
It doesn’t

Then make it.
mkdir /home/fog
chown fog:fog /home/fog

[george1421]

@Wayne-Workman I guess I have to ask a silly question, why is it trying to use the /home/fog directory for image capture? That’s a bit unusual.

[Tom Elliott]

@mabarton there is the upload error. Run:sudo mkdir -p /home/fog; sudo chown -R fog:fog /home/fog

[mabarton]

@Wayne-Workman

Doing it

[george1421]

@Tom-Elliott that would be sudo mkdir… unless there is a new command.

[Tom Elliott]

@george1421 it’s not, but fog user is Linux side and ftp is logging in just fine. Linux can’t find users home due and returns false.

[Wayne Workman]

Lol I’m out - gunned here. I’m on mobile.

@george1421 it’s the fog users ftp root directory. As soon as you authenticate via ftp as fog, you plop into the users home directory.

[mabarton]

@Tom-Elliott
I made the directory and use the chown command

I just don’t understand the fog:fog part. It may not be necessary for me to understand to make it work but I want to understand it.

[Wayne Workman]

@mabarton then you should be good now.

[Tom Elliott]

@mabarton now you should be able to upload. Booting is separate but imaging should be able to happen.

[mabarton]

@Tom-Elliott
When I made this server I had never used any computer other than a Windows machine, so I did not know about the directories, commands…I knew zilch.

[Tom Elliott]

@mabarton the chown changes the owner to allow the fog user to access it.
