[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 33938, member: 7271”]Did you have to chainload to get systems to boot in 0.32?

Can you try setting the exit type from FOG Configuration->FOG Settings->FOG Boot Settings->FOG_BOOT_EXIT_TYPE The default is sanboot but there’s also exit (which is supposed to drop back directly to bios) and grub.[/quote]

Hi,

No I never had to use chainloading, I tried EXIT and I got the same behaviour, I tried GRUB and it did load the grub bootloader. So I’ve changed it back to what it was (Default SANBOOT).

The strange thing is that it doesn’t happen every time. Sometimes the computer boots normally. And like I said it doesn’t seem to impact all computers. I have a new 7440 latitude and it boots correctly every time. But the computer that has this intermittent problem is a Latitude E5520. And another person who had this problem was a lenovo desktop M71e! So I can’t see a pattern unless it’s a compatibility problem with certain versions of intel boot agent?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 33850, member: 7271”]The snapins are most likely a partial issue in upgrading from 0.32 to 1.x.x.

We tried taking all precautions to correct for this on the db side of the house, but it’s most likely just errant data from the previous installs.

You may have to truncate the snapinJobs and snapinTasks tables to help make your installation work properly. Another one to check, though I think it’s already done on the schema updater, is to truncate the tasks table as well.[/quote]

Hi Tom yes I’ll be doing that.
We’ve run into a bigger problem over night though… We set all computers to boot network first. Normally PXE loads, they see a nice background, then it boots from hard drive.

Well today some computers, they boot the iPXE, they see the nice background, then instead of booting from hard drive, they go back to a blank “Broadcom UNDI PXE-2.1 v14.4.5 copyright intel/broadcom etc”

Then it just sits there doing nothing.

I’ve had to turn the server off because people couldn’t boot. Again I’m thinking it must be maybe related because I’m upgrading from .32 to 1.2? I haven’t modified the iPXE, only changed the background image bg.png, that’s it.

Any ideas on this one?

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 33843, member: 7271”]I’ve made a change to the task management page.

If you’d be so willing to see if this helps your particular issue out:
[code]sudo wget -O /var/www/fog/lib/pages/TaskManagementPage.class.php https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/lib/pages/TaskManagementPage.class.php[/code][/quote]

Tom you are a genius it’s working perfectly again! I must say the whole web gui is so much nicer coming from .32 we always had this massive delay logging in, it was never a big enough concern to bother looking into from my end but the problem is gone now!

Was this a glitch unique to my installation? I’ve got a ton of ‘orphaned’ snap ins queued because of a glitch where fog deployed all snap ins to all machines,

Thanks again glad to see this renewed development for FOG! I did think we might never see a 1.0 release at one stage.

[quote=“chclark, post: 33624, member: 6419”]Hi wondering if anyone can offer any advice, so all the machines at work we plan to use are all RM branded and have oem licences, i have now got hold of the RM windows 7 64bit oem recovery disk (activates against bios), do i have to do anything special to make a golden image with this or would i be best making a single image for each RM Machine type, in total about 5 different models.

ive tested the sad2 tool on them and it works fine gets every driver no problem apart from the RM laptops which is a issue we have seen before with a faulty intel onboard graphic driver which basically kills the display and you have to RDP to the machine and update the driver for the graphic manually in device manager by searching automatically for the driver and it will grab the correct one from the internet, am not sure how i would update this manually in the driver packs either.

any advice would be great.[/quote]

Hi Might be best making a new thread in the Windows section of the forum for this question.

HERE: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/forums/windows-problems.6/[/url]

Hi,

I upgraded from .32 to 1.2.0 today. Everything seems to be working now after some minor changes, although now I can’t get to the “Task Management” menu? It was working initially. I haven’t change anything in regards to the web server side of thing, I haven’t even tried to customize the iPXE background image (because I haven’t looked at how to do that yet).

All menus load on the web server, except task management.

[url]http://fogserver/fog/management/index.php?node=tasks[/url]

I just get a blank page. If I use Fiddler to see traffic I can see I’m actually get a 500 server error.

I get this in both IE, Firefox and Chrome, on multiple computers.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I know this is difficult to diagnose without any information other than I get a 500 error…Just wondering I can reinstall or something maybe?

Thanks,

This is a great feature, thanks jbob!

Wow I am stupid… I forgot to check hidden files CTRL+H (ls -a)then I found the file. Updated password and done! Thanks Tom and thanks to the Fog team we are now on 1.2 can’t wait to test windows 8…!

The upgrade was super easy just don’t mind my stupidity!

Thanks again!

This might help explain the process [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/windows-7-deployment-fog-sad2-driver-tool.380/[/url]

[quote=“raimon93, post: 24563, member: 22311”]Thanks! also what can be the problem of this? got an error, i tried the image in VMware checking if its correct but got this error:

It looks like windows hasn’t loaded properly yet, it’s still logging on. I think mine does that too but can you test a fresh install of win 7, then run the driver packs manually while logged on as admin?

Our SOE has no software installed except FOG and a few basic things, but with driver packs it totals about 13GB. Even over 100meg link this is still pretty fast. 1Gigabit link it flies along. We install all software after the machine has been imaged via SFX’s.

[quote=“Nate Baker, post: 24539, member: 23116”]I know this thread is old, but wondering if anyone else has had success with this?

Doug, your method sounds like it would work great, but I’m wondering if that would work with critical drivers such as storage and network? Or do you need to have the storage and network drivers in the image already, and install the rest of the drivers using that method? It seems like since that oobeSystem pass is the last pass, it would need the storage and network drivers by that point.

Thanks,
Nate[/quote]

[quote=“Chad Lecraft, post: 23368, member: 22087”]I am in the process of getting this all setup (FOG/VMware/Win7 Image) and I am to the last part with the SAD2 driver tool installation.

Guys I’ve updated the guide, please see the Step 8 on the first page of this thread. That post has the file attached as a .zip so you can just unzip and place the folder in C:\ and then add your driver packs as per instructions.

[quote=“drjam, post: 17922, member: 16842”]
I figured this didnt work because of MY noobness at work with this setup, but after all the time ive spent so far, i couldnt spend another week learning code, scripting driver packaging, hunting and testing. AAHHHH!!

I love this forum btw…thanks for being alive![/quote]

See the above about easily adding your own driverpacks to your image. I wouldn’t give up, even if you spend another month getting it right, it’s still worth it given the time it saves.

[quote=“Warrender, post: 20887, member: 17068”]Hi,

thank you for the great guide. Unfortunately the drivers are not current. Does any one where i can get current drivers?
Thanks![/quote]

Another option is to add your own to the existing driver packs. I found that the latest dell latitude laptops, the driver packs do not have the current drivers.

So I just downloaded the CAB files for the laptop from Dell. I’m lucky because we always get Dell Latitude laptops, and Dell desktops now too.

You can very easily create driver packs. They are basically just drivers that have been zipped up into certain folders. That’s it.

Here is a guide:

[url]http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=5[/url]

Once you’ve made it just put it in the corresponding sections of the SAD2 folders. (64bit or 32bit)
