Is there a post with links to the pre-1.3 branch? Sourceforge only has the 1.2 branch and older listed.

It depends on the driver. Usually, you just need the folder from the driver that has the .inf for the device. (Copy the entire folder contents, not just the .inf file) You can test that driver by going to a machine that doesn’t have the driver installed, and doing an “update driver” in task manager, and pointing to the folder. If it installs, you should be good.

For some devices, the driver is an .exe that you can launch with a silent install command. In that case, the driver folder should have the exe, any associated files, and a drvinstall.bat file as per [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Auto_driver_Install#Adding_Silent_Install_drivers[/url]

It looks like for whatever reason doing the sanboot causes windows 7 to screw up on boot. Changing to exit seems to resolve the issue. Tom: Is there a downside to using exit over sanboot?

Well, it’s something with the iPXE. If I remove the boot.php file, Windows doesn’t hang. I’ve tried different pxe files, and so far they just fail on PXE boot. I’ll keep investigating.

Clean install of Windows from Win 7 Pro SP1 x64 media, same issue on the E5530. This one is really quite bizarre.

Vostro 3550’s exhibit the same behavior, even failing to make it through the sysprep process if it’s connected to the network with PXE DHCP options specified & apache running on the FOG server. Optiplex 745, & 7010 are both fine.

I’m doing a clean install from media now to see if it’s perhaps an issue with making the image in VirtualBox.

Dell Latitude #5430
FOG 1.2 on Ubuntu 14.4.1
Official Kernel 3.14.2

I’m getting a PXE error of:
"XZ-compressed data is corrupt

– System halted"

When I attempt to do a full host reg. It does the same if I register it via the web UI & give it an imaging task.

I’ve tried with the 3.8.8, 3.17 and v 2 kernels with no success. It’s the only one I have of this model in the admin office though, so it’s possible I’ve got bad RAM or a defective unit too.

I’ve done a clean install of Unbut server & FOG, and I still have the same issue. Doing packet caps from the FOG server to see if that gives me any clues.

I’m having what appears to be the exact same problem with a Latitude E5530 in our test environment testing FOG 1.2. I’ve ruled out the image as the issue, as I’ve tried a couple of images. It’s not a driver issue, as I’ve tried it both with & without drivers present during sysprep.

If I disconnect the network cable during boot, it boots fine. If I stop apache on the fog server, it boots fine. If I connect the system to our production network (Running FOG .32) it works fine. It happens both with an image having the .32 FOG client, and an image with the 1.2 fog client. If I disable the FOG client, it still happens. If I remove Option 66 DHCP information from Windows Server 2012 R2 DHCP, it boots fine.

The machine is still running in the background. If I hit the power button, it goes into hibernation. I can use remote command prompt tools to issue a restart command. If I do a remote screen view, it simply shows a black screen.

FOG 1.2, Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Image made in VirtualBox (Both images tested)
FOG Service installed (.32 in one image, 1.2 in the new one)
Used sysprep, I’ve tried it both with & without drivers injected by FOG and with and without SetupComplete.cmd.

Jamie: A tip for you re: Dell BIOS options. You can use the Dell BIOS utility from their website to create a EXE file that will change BIOS settings when executed on a machine. When you want to image, you make a script that you push out with active directory that changes the boot options to something that will work with FOG.

Inside your image, you have another version of the file that changes it back to secure boot, and is executed from your SetupComplete.cmd. I haven’t used it to do that, but I have used it in our general image to make sure that BIOS settings are universally the same.
