Yes the upload completes without error (as far as I can tell).

I’m not doing sysprep as I want to clone the machine as is. And, then later restore it to the same machine.

It is a standard Win7 installation. So there are two partitions /dev/sda1 (a 100MB boot) and /dev/sda2 (number of GBytes).

I’m thinking the same as george1421: it is essentially an automated partclone. So, it should put the clones image right back.

I tried “Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable)” and “Single Disk - Resizable”. I tried it on two different machines. But, it produced the same ‘classpnp.sys’ results.

@Tom-Elliott Many thanks for going through the effort of remoting into my system and getting FOG_trunk installed. Really - my best gratitude.

I have now thoroughly tested the FOG_trunk version. And, most unfortunately, I can confirm that I still have the original issue of the Win7 image just booting to classpnp.sys. I basically went through all the steps listed below again.

Nonetheless, I’ll keep my eye on this project and give it a few tries in the future as more versions become available.

Ok yes makes sense: I need to remove the remnants of the other install first. I followed instructions in:

  You can now login to the FOG Management Portal using
  the information listed below.  The login information
  is only if this is the first install.

  This can be done by opening a web browser and going to:

      http://192.168.0.2/fog/management

      Default User:
             Username: fog

But, now I’m stuck again at theDatabase Schema Installer.

Hi, I’m not expecting you to solve this or anything. I’m just posting FYI.

I have commented out exit 1 and rerun the install. I got this output:

Maybe this is of some help to you.

@Sebastian-Roth No absolutely, and many thanks for all the help from all of you. I still think FOG is an awesome project.

I’ll try change the installer as recommended and revert back with the result.

One thing though: Judging by the amount of views this thread has got, I’m wondering if my Win7 bootup problem is an isolated case?

Well I guess it is possible for me to test it with CENTOS. But, getting back to my original issue I’m trying to solve: I cannot get a machine cloned using FOG to boot even when in the exact same machine. I’ve also tried three different/independent machines all non-booting afterwards.

I’ve tried all the obvious configurations using FOG 1.2.0. I’m now attempting to try it with fog_trunk to see if that would work. However, since we don’t quite know why the cloned image won’t boot we aren’t entirely sure if fog_trunk would work either. However, in order to get fog_trunk to work I’m likely going to need to install CENTOS.

I guess I now need to go and weigh up on the pros/cons and decide if I’d like to go ahead. I’m a little pressed for time on other projects at present otherwise I’d definitely would’ve tested it out.

OK, the chkconfig package was missing.

But, nope still getting:

 * Stopping FOGMulticastManager.service Service................OK
 * Stopping FOGImageReplicator.service Service.................OK
 * Stopping FOGSnapinReplicator.service Service................OK
 * Stopping FOGScheduler.service Service.......................OK
 * Stopping FOGPingHosts.service Service.......................OK
 * Setting up and starting MySQL...............................Failed!

OK, I changed my sources.list to point to the UK.

I then removed php using ‘apt-get --purge remove xxx’. And, then when it re-installed all were the same version. This also allowed apache2 to start up correctly. So I can now install FOG 1.2.0 as before. However, I’m still having trouble to install fog_trunk.

The prior php5 error is now solved, and I manage to progress to here:

* Stopping FOGMulticastManager.service Service................OK
* Stopping FOGImageReplicator.service Service.................OK
* Stopping FOGSnapinReplicator.service Service................OK
* Stopping FOGScheduler.service Service.......................OK
* Stopping FOGPingHosts.service Service.......................OK
* Setting up and starting MySQL...............................Failed!
root@backup:~/fog_trunk/bin#

However, if I try see what the error is I get no error:

root@backup:~/fog_trunk/bin# /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[ ok ] Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.
[ ok ] Starting MySQL database server: mysqld ..
[info] Checking for tables which need an upgrade, are corrupt or were

root@backup:~/fog_trunk/bin#

Hi,

Tried ‘apt-get -f install php5’ but no success.

Also if I now try and install FOG 1.2.0 I get a fail:

 Configuring services.
  * Setting up and starting MySql...OK
  * Backing up user reports...OK
  * Setting up and starting Apache Web Server...Failed!
 Script done, file is /var/log/foginstall.log
root@backup:~/fog_1.2.0/bin#

I also tried rebooting. Previously I managed to install without issues.

PS: Which inline identifier do you use to get the text with the red foreground and light red background - as in your previous post: apt-get install php5 ?

Ok I’ve upgraded to the latest version:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

The Debian version is now:

root@backup:~/fog_trunk/bin# cat /proc/version

But now if I try to install fog_trunk:

root@backup:~/fog_trunk/bin# ./installfog.sh

I then get this error:

I then try to install php5-json:
