@deharter i could capture changing the image type , from “Single Disk - Resizeable” to “Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizeable)”

@romprager The simple answer is depends on the iso image and what OS will boot from the ISO image.

I do have several how tos in the forum that shows how to net boot several different installers.

Hi Again guys

I have some news about this problem.
I found a work around.

I change the file d1.fixed_size_partitions deleting the recovery Windows partition. This change generated and error when I made the deploy image in Client PC.
But if I cancel the job in the CLI fog server and reset the client machine after fog show the error
It boot ok.

I’ll continue reading …
Thanks

@Tom-Elliott Yep, I caught that workaround in the earlier post. I moved the image folder from /images/dev to /images, but still resulted in the same error.

One thing I noticed this morning, is that the image capture process is hanging at 99% on the task page, as in for at least 45 minutes. Not sure if that is a symptom or the cause.

The previous post was suspect of a very recent init version – but i’m on the most recent dev-branch.

Thank you!

I am confident I have ruled out NFS. I can now connect to the NFS from localhost and Ubuntu to /images & /images/dev without issue and all the permissions that come with it. The only thing failing now is FOG, any guidance would be great!

@Tom-Elliott Thank you so much Tom, as always I appreciate your support and guidance.

@chevengur there is not enough information to help you in that picture. If we could see more of the error message that partclone threw (i.e. just above the top of your picture) we would know what happened. At the point in the script all we know is that partclone wasn’t happy.

Ok so I now have a second system with the EXACT same issue. I purchased a Dell Precision 7875 which has 2 on-board nics. I updated our dhcp server to issue an IP address for one of the two NICs. With the system connected to that interface I PXE booted the system. The first stage of the fog shows as it notices the system is not registered and asking whether I would like to register the system. Yet once I say do full registration that’s it it will not proceed further.

So similar to the issue that I’ve raised prior with multiple NICs and @george1421 suggested I PXE booted the system again but went into DEBUG mode. Well as it appears the unused MAC address is now showing up on the interface that I had configured to connect to the network. Seeing that I did not assign an IP address to the second mac address the system would not proceed any further. The odd thing is that BOTH interfaces show up having the same mac address. It seems that there’s an issue with the FOS with newer Dell systems with multiple NICs.

If I disable one of the two NICs in the BIOS, and do the re-imaging process everything works fine…

Really looking for a fix for this…

Cheers
