@cmurray139 I’m going to close one eye and squint with the other to read between the lines here…

I read this as: I have a fog server on a dedicated imaging network. This server has no connection to the outside world. I just purchase new hardware that I can’t image because the FOS Linux kernel is too old. How can I manually install the later version of the FOS Linux kernel that supports my new computers?

If I guessed right then you need to get the kernels from here: https://fogproject.org/kernels/ Download Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.32 and save it as bzImage32 (watch your case) and Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.64 save it as bzImage. Now move these to the FOG server into /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe directory replacing the files in that directory. You might want to rename the existing files just in case you need to back track to the older kernels. Now just pxe boot the target computers and see if the updated kernels do what you need.

Now I also have to say since you specifically called out storage devices on these target computer, go into the bios (firmware setup) and make sure that the disk controller mode is ahci and not raid or raid-on. This will cause all version of the FOS Linux kernel to not be able to detect the storage device behind the disk controller.

@Sebastian-Roth the installer will not run without internet connectivity. It hangs on the line adding repository, I think. I’ve left it for 30 minutes with no change.

This behavior is new, because I’ve always deleted the .fogsettings file and rerun the installer to change the ip.

Outside the settings in the web ui I had to manually change the ip set in the tftpboot folder.

@cmurray139 Just to add a bit more information. default.ipxe -> http://x.x.x.x/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php

But I guess you will run into another issue as the FOS Linux system is another environment that you’d need to use the fake MAC address…

Nevertheless it’s an interesting idea. Please give it a try and see how far you get. Let us know what you find out and if we can help you with anything.

@cmurray139 i’m not sure. I don’t have much experience with devices that don’t have Ethernet built in. if you search the forums, you might find someone who’s already solved the problem though.

@cmurray139 First thing that comes to my mind is SELinux possibly not being disabled in CentOS. Please follow instructions here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=CentOS_7

About the blank page. It’s probably easier to take a look at the apache error logs (see my signature on where to find those)!

If you still want to check the packages then take a look at the FOG installation logs. Those are placed in the same directory where the ./installfog.sh script’s been run. As well you can check /var/log/yum.log for a list of packages.

By the way, which version of FOG do you use?
