I have been running SVN 2658 on Ubuntu 14.04 for a while and it works fine. I wanted to upgrade and due to the database changes it was easier to installed a new system and installed FOG SVN 4998. Uploading images, downloading images, running memtest all work fine with 4998 BUT the default menu item, fog.local, boot to hard disk boots into memtest instead of to the hard disk. The only thing I have found would indicate I should change the FOG_BOOT_EXIT_TYPE for this menu item from SANBOOT to EXIT. The version 2658 has SANBOOT so I’m not sure that is the problem.

The systems being booted are DELL 9030AIOs with SSD drives and the default boot to the hard disk works fine if I use 2658.

Any help getting this solved would be greatly appreciated.

I just installed SVN 3267 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS and got a number of database errors. The Ubuntu system was a clean install as was the SVN 3267. The database errors didn’t prevent FOG from coming up but I have not researched all of the tables for consistency yet. I have attached a PDF of the errors received.

When running fog as a proxy DHCP server, that is there is another DHCP server that is providing IP addresses, enumerating systems by IP fails on every machine. This is partly caused by the primary DHCP server not reserving IP addresses for specific MAC addresses.

It is relatively easy to get the IP by doing the following, on ubuntu at least,

• flush the arp cache
  for arpentry in arp | grep "eth3" | cut -d " " -f1 # Obviously, set the correct interface
  do
  arp -d $arpentry
  done
• send a ping to the broadcast address
  ping -b -c1 -w1 255.255.255.255 > /dev/null 2>&1 # Could substitute broadcast for local LAN only
• wait for the arp table to populate
  sleep 60 # Or whatever is reasonable for the speed of your systems

The Feature Request I am making is to have a switch to have FOG do this before trying to enumerate the hosts. Along with doing this task I would like FOG to add the determined IP address to the DB. This would of course make it so the enumeration task would not have to be modified other than adding this functionality prior to doing the enumeration.
