@Tom-Elliott Did a git pull to latest, installfog.sh failing on Setting up and starting MySQL, nothing changed, worked with RC5.

Server

Client

Description

Trying to capture an image of a VM that I was previously able to, now getting:
Fatal Error, unable to find size data out on /dev/sda2. Cmd: ntfsresize -f -i -v -P /dev/sda2

Image is setup as a single disk, resizable, all partitions. Disk has system reserved (default win install) and C partition.

Any help would be appreciated.

@Sebastian-Roth @george1421
I commented out the line and was able to get to the boot menu, as soon as I hit perform full registration its just a black screen with bzImage… 0% at the bottom.

I tried a few of the different ROMs, mostly to the same conclusion :/.

At this point I think I am just going to old school this thing since it’s the only instance of this particular machine and every other machine that I image regularly has no issues.

@george1421 It’s set in legacy buis mode, uefi is “disabled”, secure boot is disabled, os defaults is disabled.
@Wayne-Workman I remove the bg.png file as suggested, however now after the boot.php… ok, it’s stuck at /fog/service/ipxe/… 80%

I have been trying to image a new Lenovo X1 Carbon (6th gen) using the Lenovo Onelink+ dock (as well as a Lenovo USB 3.0 eth adapter) and have not been able to get past initial loading; Adapter is Realtek RTL8135 USB.

Initially my DHCP option was set to undionly.kpxe and I was stuck and initializing devices, so a little searching led to switching to undionly.kkpxe which got me past that problem. The next issue was I was getting stuck at http://<ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php (note that the tftp of default.ipxe prior to the http was “ok”) at 90%. After some more searching I found something that noted to turn off the ipxe menu options for hide and hide menu, I only had hide menu and advanced menu login enabled so I disabled both. With those disabled, I now got past boot.php stuck at 90% and get stuck at http://<ip>/fog/service/ipxe/bg.png at 12%.

My setup works with varying other systems through a wide range of dated hardware without issues, this is the only device giving me a boot problem.

I am running:
Debian 7
FOG version 1.3.0-RC-5 (git) / SVN Revision: 5943
bzImage version: 4.6.4
bzImage32 version: 4.6.4

I have tried all the different kernel variants to no avail, undionly.kkpxe gets the furthest, any advice is greatly appreciated.

@Tom-Elliott So I did a few things along the lines of your suggestion.

• I took the drive from the laptop and threw it in the Dell workstation, imaged, no boot, put the drive back in laptop and still no boot (me thinks drive at this point)
• Grabbed an SSD from an old laptop which I had imaged with Fog previously but laptop died (drive is fine), threw that in laptop and it imaged and booted like normal.

The drive came with an operating system installed on it, but I suppose it could be bad. It’s a 512GB SanDisk X400.

@george1421 I just load necessary drivers after booting, the Dell drivers are all generic device drivers that exist within Windows Update and it works without issue, Lenovo has a Software Update utility that is a 1 click run and all necessary drivers are downloaded and installed.

Edit: Like I said I have an identical model coming this week which I will test on, could be an issue with the drive since I was able to image a different drive on the laptop, so it appears the laptop is functioning normally RE Fog compatibility.

@Tom-Elliott No, it’s a 7200RPM drive, I could throw in an SSD and test, do you think that would make a diff?

@Tom-Elliott Before updating to 1.3.0, should I create a new image of using 1.3.0? Note that I just deployed this same image to a Dell workstation without issue (on 1.3.0) pxe booted, partcloned, rebooted into Windows 8.1 Pro.

@george1421 I use a master image and then do drivers, never had any issue doing it this way and I have been using Fog for over 7 years. I will attempt the debug suggestion and reply with results.
