Glad my efforts helped someone.

Unfortunately, the lack of Firmware RAID support was a show stopper for us and I was forced to box my FOG servers and go with Acronis Snap Deploy.

I really like what FOG has to offer and I hope that someone will figure out this Firmware Raid issue so that we can go back to FOG in the future.

At the risk of being accused of Thread Necromancy, I wanted to check in on these issues.

Seems that the OP & my initial issue was indeed caused by the Quadro in my case. Since my last post, I have researched Linux kernel-making, and have cooked up a kernel that now boots fine with the Quadro in the machine. Unfortunately, I am still unable to have FOG see the built-in Intel RAID controller properly (Firmware-RAID), and just can’t figure out how to get the kernel to see the RAID container instead of the individual disks… I see many posts about this issue with no solutions, and would very much like to get a solution.

I can confirm that this doesn’t work on Windows 7 as written. Since I’m unfamiliar with the unix tools, I just destroyed my reference workstation. I managed to work with the 100Mb Win7 boot partition, but destroyed the partition containing the drive… lol

Yes; the image was built on a RAID. Tried the steps from the link you provided and the link that page referenced, but as far as DISKPART goes, it thinks the DISK has no partitions so none of that works.

Looks like we now have a problem with the RAID. The workstations are using the MOBO built in raid controller to have the 2 HDs in RAID0 to increase performance. The 0.29 kernel didn’t see anything and just crashed, so I switched back to the old kernel and got an image. Unfortunatley, dropping the image back boots to a “Non system disk” error…

OK, I swapped out the Quadro 2000 and tossed in a Geforce 9800GTX+ and PXE boots past the initial FOG menu. It complaines that the BIOS for the Z400 is unknown, but appears to function as expected. I’m going to pull an image now and see how it goes.

And just to make sure I did everything right (since Unix is not my primary language):
/tftpboot/fog/images$ ls -l
total 36628
-rw-r–r-- 1 fog root 30971987 2010-05-11 08:25 init.gz
-rw-r–r-- 1 fog root 6530155 2011-11-30 16:12 init.gz.BACKUP

OK; I get the same message with the init.gz from the 0.29 package.

OK; so what boot image was used in 0.29?
