    • RE: I have installed FOG 1.5.5 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS in windows enviorment .installed as per manual have configured 066 & 067 options in windows server 2012 R2 . issue is clients are not booting via PXE . i am not linux freak kindly help in this regard

      make sure clients have boot rom enabled in the BIOS - otherwise they won’t boot at all.

      in my environment :-
      066 points to fog /tftp server
      067 bootfile = undionly.kpxe

      OK - so Partedmagic is now $11 for the latest version - which also comes ready to PXE - no scripts etc required to get ready
      Add files to TFTP share - add menu item - done.

      menu item =

      kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/bzImage64
      initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/initrd.img
      initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/files.cgz
      initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/fu.img
      initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/m64.img
      imgargs bzImage64 boot=live ip=dhcp edd=on noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet - || read void
      boot || read void

      Worked first time 🙂

    • Confusion with adding Hirens

      Fog 1.5.5
      All normal functions fine (imaging etc)
      added DBAN with no problem

      following - https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu
      for the hirens entry

      it starts to talk about Ubuntu
      and adding lines to the advanced menu (which im presuming i just add to the Parameters section in the GUI add ipxe menu section (just like i did DBAN only more complicated commands)

      however - following the guide in the wiki the commands to add contain the following :-

      “kernel http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/vmlinuz.efi || read void
      initrd http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/initrd.lz || read void”

      I do not have the /casper folder in the folders expanded from the iso.

      I have searched in the forums and only serve to further confuse myself

      I followed another guide found in the forums (purported to work) which boots the ISO directly but fails for me with BOOTSTRAP too large

      Could someone please help clarify the process to add Hirens (including pmagic) to my ipxe menu ?

      Thanks in advance 🙂

    • Just fired up my FOG server for the latest round of system upgrades

      HI,
      Fired up my old FOG vm - last used over a year ago - updates as per usual to the latest version (GIT) - looked at my old data/images etc and it seems to have lost the images i previously created ! - also all the workstations i registered and imaged with fog the last time have disappeared
      either :-
      a) i am going senile and moved/deleted the images
      b) something has happened between the older version and the new upgrade ?

      I checked the VM and looked at the hdd directly - still no images.

      Is there anyway to check the previous configuration to verify where i may have put images (i can’t remember using anything but the default location)

      Any suggestions to resolve this greatly appreciated…

      nevermind all - i rebuilt the server with only minimal packages and re-ran the svn install of Fog and it worked fine - go figure.

    • RE: upgrading to SVN failed :(

      well after a couple of rollbacks and failed SVN installs (still not sure why) i finally got the server running on the latest trunk
      I actually used GIT this time and it went well.
      the steps i took (in case they may be useful)

      • backup mysql
      • export hosts
      • removed 1.2 version of fog using the uninstall instructions
      • renamed \images to \images_old
      • install GIT
      • followed instructions to install from trunk
      • import sql
      • import hosts
      • move my image from \images_old to \images
      • profit !

    • RE: upgrading to SVN failed :(

      Ahh, i now recall moving the original installation out of the HTML folder to shorten the overall url - my bad 😕

      If i revert my snapshot - move things back - then apply SVN it should all go normally then right ?
