@george1421 But what I would suggest that you do when working on post download scripts is this.
- Setup a debug deploy
- PXE boot the target computer
- After a few enter presses it will drop you to a command prompt
- Give root a password with
passwd - Get the IP address of the target computer with
ip addr show - Go to your windows computer and open a putty session to your target computer using root and the password you just defined.
Now you can begin debugging your post install script.
- From putty key in
fogto start the download process. - Just past the point where the image has been sent to the target computer hit ctrl-C to break out of the fog installer script
- Now the /images share should be mounted and you can test commands to find out the details of the hardware. By using putty you can copy and paste text easy.

@george1421 Wish I had the time right now to run the tests, but with schools starting n a couple weeks, I might get to it by October. I can test your rewritten section though. I can pop that in and test a machine in a few seconds. It is just strange that 2 models, and only 2 models are being a pain. 745, 755, 760, and 780’s go thru without a hitch. BLEH!

Maybe it’s not related to the topic, but a had an issue with free disk space after imaging from golden image. After “unsysprep” finished and i’ve logged on to machine, win7 shows that system partition is normaly extended to real hard disk size, but no matter how big hdd is, there is only 100-1000mb free on disk. After bashing my head for almost one week, i’ve realised that when i’ve created virtual disk on my ESXI virtual machine, for creating golden image, i’ve selected “Think provisioning, Lazy zeroed”, and so virtual disk file grows dynamicaly. I think because of this, part-clone cannot correctly detect partitions boundaries. So, the right choise is to select “Thick provisioning, Eager zeroed”.
Maybe that will help someone.UPDATE:
Actualy, i’ve even figured out how to fix imaged machines disk size. Although, i dont know how to mass fix that, on imaged machine, you can first shrink system partition with acronis, for example, then extend it again. -
@cerebron That is a great tip! Thank you for posting!
