Hi, I am pretty new at fog so bare with me. I am trying to upgrade fog to a newer version (probably the kernel) due to some issue I am experiencing with grabbing a windows 10 image. Can someone direct me or send me direction on how to upgrade the kernel ? I am currently on Version: 6263 with bzImage Version: 4.4.1. I am wanting to upgrade to kernel version 4.6.2 TomElliott. I did the download right in fog and it said it installed it but nothing changed under the version number. I am sure I’m doing it wrong but any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Current version:

While I don’t know the cisco switches, I wonder if this is a spanning tree issue. With normal spanning tree it can take up to 30 seconds to move to the forwarding state. As long as the device doesn’t disconnect from the switch then the switch won’t go through the spanning tree check (meaning cold boot == problem, warm boot == works OK). Make sure you have the ports set to RSTP, fast STP, or portfast.

We do have it set to portfast on our spanning tree settings

Actually I have the same problem, but I notice that if you send the task and reboot from windows, the task works fine.

When the kernel is loading you can see some line like these:

bzImage ... OK
init.xz .... OK
[....]
initiating random number generator .... OK
Starting eth0 interface
udhcpc  (v1.24.1) started
Sending discover ....

Well, If I don t reboot from windows, for example from WOL, the last two lines dont appear and your error appears.

Please, try to reboot from windows to see if the error apeears.

Funny you say that because I think we had the same issues that we had to reboot from windows… (on the Cisco 3750G switch), but I think on our newer 3750X switch it worked fine either way.

I know you say it’s the same network you’re trying, but can you try deploying the image using the same port you used to upload?

So I did some testing… I was able to push the image out via the same switch (Cisco 3750x) I did the upload on, but it fails on our Cisco 3750G switch. Any idea what setting on the switch might be causing this? In our old version of FOG everything ran perfect (minus windows 10) on all of our switches.

I’m on Fog Trunk version r6263.
Desktop model: Lenovo C40-05.
FOG Server is running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
DHCP is a Windows 2003 server.

I am getting a "No network interfaces found (verifyNetworkConnection) " error when trying to push out a Windows 10 Image on Lenovo C40-05 All in one desktop computer. I was able to upload an image from the Lenovo, but then when I try and push an image out to a computer of the exact same model and on the same network it give me that error. It even detects that I have an IP address during the initial fog configuration before it errors out. On a side note I am able to upload and deploy Windows 7 images just fine on HP Probook laptops. Any ideas? Thanks!

I’m having the same issue on a Lenovo all in one desktop. I was able to upload from the machine but not able to push an image out to it. I am trying to deploy Windows 10, so not sure if that makes a difference. I have successfully uploaded and deployed windows 7, and was able to upload windows 10, just not deploy as I am getting the error stated above. Any ideas?

@bsmaby FTP is used to move images from /images/dev to /images. If this fails then it’s likely a simple credentials mismatch. You will find your solution in the credentials area of our FTP Troubleshooting article, here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_FTP

SOLVED: Thank you so much! It ended up being both a miss match of passwords through out fog and also the permissions for the image folder was an owner of root and I am using a fog user instead so I had to switch the permissions to make that work. Thanks!

Just a heads up I’m a noob at linux, so the more detail you give me the better! Thank you!

We were using one of the early versions of FOG and decided to do a fresh install of a newer version. We installed Ubuntu 14.02 fresh and then proceeded with Fog 1.2.0. When the upload of an image finishes, it shows that the Image Size: ON SERVER is 0.00iB. It appears as though the image is not moving out of the Dev folder and into the Images folder. We also set the user up on Ubuntu as fog vs root and I noticed that the image file in the /images/dev/ folder is owned by root (I think that may be also causing issues). Any ideas that you have is appreciated.
Thanks!
