hello all,

Running into an issue when trying to upload an image for my Optiplex 7020s. It seems to be getting held up at “Using Hard Disk: /dev/sda” and doesn’t ever get to actually uploading the image and also doesn’t fail. I have checked BIOS and it is up to the latest version.

I am stumped at the moment. I have had no issues over the last few years with any other Dell model.

Has anyone else run into this issue?

thanks!

When I go to add a new storage node, i am unable to change the Management Password to the password given to me when i built the node. The boxes are ‘yellowed’ out. When i change them and click Save, it just reverts back to the same default password as before. Has anyone run into this before?

thanks!
Jeremy

You only need to change to undionly.kpxe if you are using 1.x.x.

Also, have you tried restarting the DHCP service on the DHCP server?

I am guessing that the bandwidth graph for the nodes are tied to the Disk Info issue?. Fantastic work so far guys!

I just built a fresh FOG 0.32 server and forgot to update the kernel. Much to my surprise, I was able to perfectly inventory and deploy to these X131e systems without the snowy screen. So, what broke between the default kernel and the updated ones??

Another possibility is that if you are using HP ProCurve switches, the Spanning Tree protocol could be causing the delays which will cause pxe to timeout. I am not sure why reverting to an older bios will help this, but maybe they simply have a longer timeout period.

TRY turning spanning tree OFF for the switch that the system you are wanting PXE boot is connected to and see if that helps. If it does, then this could be an option for when you need to reimage a room. It is probably best to ensure Spanning Tree is re-enabled when finished to ensure there is some protection from network loops.

Just had this same issue where I wasn’t getting an IP on PXE boot. Turns out it was an issue with the BIOS update. The newest right now is A18, but I had to go all the way back down to A04 (Intel Boot Agent 1.3.27) to be able to pick up a PXE IP. I also tested others in between with no success. A04 was the highest that would actually grab the address.

Here is a link to the BIOS. Give it a shot.

Hope this helps!

When can we expect to see a final .33 release? Loving this project so far. I just wish that it could boot up systems with nVidia graphic cards. Maybe i am just doing something wrong though.

Keep up the great work!

hi everyone, I recently installed the fog client onto a bunch of computers running W7x86 (SP1) and now i am getting reports that they are randomly rebooting without any warning. The event viewer isn’t pointing to anything going wrong either.

Is anyone else experiencing this?? I really want to be able to use FOG.

thanks!
Jer
