FOG 1.5.9

I click the checkbox to “Delete files” then click “delete”.
Username and password prompt appears. I type the correct user/pass. It keeps appearing and never gets pass this.

Now I get the following.

I’m typing the correct password. I can connect from command line.

nothing in the log.

To improve the overall security the installer will create an
unpriviledged database user account for FOG’s database access.
Please provide the database root user password. Be asured
that this password will only be used while the FOG installer
is running and won’t be stored anywhere:

Unable to connect to the database using the given password!
Try again:
Failed! Terminating installer now.

It is running. I looked at the configureMySql function in functions.sh and im not sure why its failing. I’m assuming its in the first 20 lines of code but can’t pinpoint the issue.

We have deleted multiple images from command line and I still do not have free space. It makes no sense.

I have removed a few hundred gig and it still always says 0. I tried rebooting too.

Fog version 1.5.2
Ubuntu 18.04

We have removed a bunch of images however from cli du -h and df -h report 0 free space.
Is this a OS bug? I installed the os on a SSD then sym linked the old drives images folder to /images
FOr example,

/images -> /mnt/fogimages/images/

Any ideas?

It is fog version 1.5.2

4.17.0-addbnx

PC 64 Bit

Just recently flashed the bios on a hp5800.
Now when we try to boot fog we get the following errors:

ACPI bios error (Bug) excess arguments
acpi bios error (Bug ) failure creating
acpi error: method parse/execution failed!

How do we fix this?

@tom-elliott I did change the boot file to undionly.kpxe.
I’m pretty sure we needed to use a kitchen sink kernel for this machine in the past.
WHat happened to those kernels? can you provide any information about the tomelliott kernels?
Is there any documentation on what these kernels contain? are they all kitchen sink?

I will try updating the init_32.xz as suggested.
