Dear FOG-Community,
Dear Tom,

I have a big Problem with FOGService/FOGTray. We configured it depending on Service winmgmt and Spooler. Rolled out a testimage without syspreping it and it worked. Even as it didnt started automatically. After Syspreping the FOGService/FOGTray doesnt work anymore. No Hostnamechanger, no Printer attachment, no greenfog and i dont know why…

What did Sysprep do to the Services? Why does it worked before sysprep?

Hope you can help me.

Update:
All Services work except the HostNameChanger.
Log says: Index out of Array at FOG.HostNameChanger.changeHostName()

Greetings

Andy

Dear Tom,

here the print of the fog ipxe Directory. This is a Print of my main fog. This is what i did before:

1. renamed the folowing in the FoG configuration => it worked
   FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL => bzImage32
   FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE => init_32.xz
2. renamed it back to bzImage and init.xz => dont worked
3. renamed bzImage to bzImage.old and init.xz to init.old.xz
4. cp bzImage32 bzImage (same with the init_32.xz)
5. deleted the .old files
   => Worked again

if i install a new kernel FoG names it “bzImage” automaticly no matter which one it is 32- or 64-bit.
But if install the 64-bit Kernel it dont work.

Greetings

Andy

Dear Tom,
Dear Junkhacker,

as told by Junkhacker in tryed the 64-bit Kernel and got These Errors:

• esas2r: driver will not be loaded because no ATTO esas2r devices were found
• request _module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
• Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn’t’ execute it (error -8)
• request _module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
• Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn’t’ execute it (error -8)
• Kernel_panic – not syncing; No working init found. Try passing init=option to kernel. See linux documentation/init.txt for guidance

Changed back to the 3.14.2 32-bit kernel without renaming it as i did before and it works.

Greetings

Andy

Dear Tom,

thanks for the fast reply. Sorry for my missunderstanding formulation. I knew that the Database problem ist just a logging Problem.

Your Infos helps me a lot understanding FoG more. I’m running Ubuntu LTS 12.04 32 bit so installed the 32 bit kernel. Meanwhile i changed back to the 3.14.2 Kernel just to test it… and the Problem described bevor came back. so i went into Fog Configuration >> TFTP Serrver and renamed FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL bzImage to bzImage32. The same i did with FOG_PXE_BOOT_IMAGE intit.xz. Now it works fine.

In Addition to the Crash Problem: in deployed 4 Clients simultanously before without any Errors. the Crash occured while the Deploy of the next 4 Clients with autoshutdown Task. As i checked my FoG Tasks it told me that it was complete so i wanted to create new ones and it told me that the Image i wanted to use dosn’t exist, so i checkt my Ubuntu and saw the Errors… after Ubuntu reboot the Image was been restored but the deployed Clients were broken and i had to deploy them again.

Dear Tom,

don’t really know if my problems a right placed here but i try.
I tested the fog 0.33b in the past. while the test you guys released the 1.0.0 Version and later 1.0.1. With 1.0.1 everything was fine, so my Boss asked me if we can upgrade the FoG 0.32 of our customers. So i tested it and installed it with the SVN method. I upgraded both (a new 0.32 and my 1.01) to 1.1.2 and now it runs absolutely instable. Here some Problems i got:

1. MySQL Database was corrpted. Had to edit vi /opt/fog/.fogsettings and vi /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php and it worked.
2. I did an Imageupload from a Fujitsu Esprimo P420 with the 3.14 32-bit kernel. It Uploaded with 360MB/min (while an HP ProDesk 400 GI uploaded with 1 GB/min) but it uploaded it. The i used Sysprep to kill the SID and to create a new blank Image again with the 3.14 32-bit kernel and nothig. This is what i’ve got

•      esas2r: driver will not be loaded because no ATTO esas2r devices were found
  

•      request _module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
  

•      Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn’t’ execute it (error -8)
  

•      request _module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
  

•      Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn’t’ execute it (error -8)
  

•      Kernel_panic – not syncing;  No working init found.  Try passing init=option to kernel.  See linux documentation/init.txt for guidance
  

so i installed your unofficial 3.15 Kernel 32 bit. same Problem here till i renamed bzImage32 to bzImage and init_32.xz to init.xz
worked.
3) I created a Downloadtask with autoshutdown after deploy. As i started working this morning i saw that the Apache Server crashed and with him my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and corrupted the deployed Image, so i had to restart the deployment.

I dont know what’s happenig. I like the FoG Server but with all this Problems i just cant use it or upgrade the existing in customers infrastruktur. Please help.
