Upgraded to Fog 1.5.3 from 1.4.4. Cannot PXE boot anymore get PXE-55 ProxyDHCP service did not reply to request on port 4011.
I didn’t change anything on the dhcp server Option 66 is the IP address of the Fog server and 67 is undionly.kpxe. I’m booting clients as legacy boot as i did before the upgrade.

@Aaron-Flora I ran into this same issue and my fix was to install this kernel from the Web GUI. I edited the default name bzimage to bzimage1. changed that in the Fog Settings, TFTP Server, FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNAL to bzimage1 rebooted the FOG server and it registered perfectly
Hope this helps you out.

Official Published Kernels
Kernel - 4.1.2 TomElliott
Date : July 22, 2015
Version : 4.1.2
FOG Type: TomElliott
Arch Type: (x86_64)

Does anybody know if there is a switch when imaging from Fog that is similar to Ghosts -ib ? When using ghost a Lenovo will boot to a blinking cursor without the -ib switch. the -ib switch is used when creating an image or copying disk to disk, the -IB switch (Image Boot) forces a copy of the entire boot track; not just the boot sector.

[SIZE=2]Use this switch when applications, such as some boot-time utilities, use the boot track to store information. [/SIZE]
[LIST]
[][SIZE=2]You cannot perform partition-to-partition or partition-to-image operations with the -IB switch.[/SIZE]
[][SIZE=2]Partition sizes cannot be altered when using the -IB switch.[/SIZE]
[/LIST]
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
The problem Im having is after imaging a Windows 7 x64 Lenovo M82 Desktop with the 100mb partition and a partition, upon reboot the system goes into a loop and says There is a signature failure. Im finding that it might be the MBR of Lenovo causing the problem. Has anybody else had a similar issue and if so how did you correct it. Is there a switch like in ghost -IB to force it to copy the entire Boot track not just the boot sector?

Thanks in advance

Thank You Chad I did do this at your last suggestion and that is how i was able to add the new virtual drive.
Guess i missed the last move step but its working!!

Thank you for all your help

Fog .32 install on 40 GB VMware partition. It originally locked up due to full hard drive after image upload, could not get back into the GUI after, locked up mysql. I deleted the image and was able to get back in after a reboot.
I added another 800GB virtual disk to the server. my question is, in the GUI is there a way to direct saving the new uploaded image file to the new 800 GB drive? if so how do i direct it to there?
the drives are as follows: Size:
/dev/sda3 mounted on / ext3 40 GB
/dev/sda1 mounted on /boot ext2 89M
/dev/sdb1 mounted on /images ext2 794 GB

Right now under image management in the GUI the default path starts /images/“editable box” [B]/Images/ is not editable.[/B]
does this mean it will store on the right drive?

Thanks for any help

I have fogserver .32 running on VMware it was only 40 GB and after 2 images it locked up no access to GUI. I have been able to add another drive for storing images to but i cannot delete the image(s) from the original 40 GB drive ive tried rm /images, and a bunch of other things. it tells me “no such file or directory” but if i do a du -h /images, i get a listing of 2 images, 1- 19 GB and the other 20 GB.

Im a newbie climbing the learning curve fast so if you know of something else i could try im all ears.

Thanks

Thanks for this info. I was able to create the virtual disk but im sorry im a complete newbie at linux o_O i assume i move /images to the new virtual disk? what are the commands to do this? I cannot log into the GUI because my disk is completely full i can get to the console of the vm so i need to do all of this by command line and Linux is a bit out of my league right now. Any further help you could give me would be greatly appreciated Do i follow the wiki article on the vm console?
Thanks so much for your help!!

Ok,

I installed fog .27 using the vmware zip file. upgraded to .32 and server is working great only problem is im out of space How do i either increase this install for images or install a storage node on VMWare. Im really a linux newbie so the more detailed the better.

Thanks in advance
