[quote=“VincentJ, post: 36878, member: 8935”]Not exactly solving the problem of the slow speed, but could you do twice as many with an extra storage node?

I’ve found with multiple clients there is a point at which the slowdown really does ramp up. would be interesting if someone had FOG on SSD and could see if the same thing occurred.[/quote]

Yea i am starting to think machines with only 10/100 ethernet may be my problem. When i was doing the SL510 they had 10/100/1000 ethernet s the speeds seemed good.

Actually using a 2,000 dollar 48 Port Gig switch. and I can do say 10 at a time at 1.2 gb/min however it seems like the moment i add over that amount i loose a lot of speed. Its only been since ive been working on these laptops…

When i was Imaging 40 Lenovo SL510’s at a time was going at least 1.2 GB/Min

I tried to switch and Play around with Kernels today to see if that would help but to no avail still having troubles…

I have 300+ of these laptops to push into the school system this week and would love to do more than 16 at a time per hour.

any suggestions anyone?

Hello,

I’ve been using fog for awhile now and Mostly good however my school system got new laptops and I am having a hell of a time getthing them done. They are HP SB 215 G1 A6-1450 320GB. I get more than 8 on and the transfer speed slows to a crawl. I know they only have 10/100 Base T however should still be faster than 50MB/m - 120MB/M

I was doing some reading on the forms over the weekend and It looks like I may just need to change the kernel to match the laptops more correctly. Is there a listing that explains the difference between the different Kernels or is it more of experimentation till i found the correct one ?

PS. When you download a Kernel is that the Default or do you have to select the kernal you want to use. Trying to understand this section a little bit more

Had the same problem today.
Did this
[CODE]sudo stop tftpd-hpa
sudo start tftpd-hpa[/CODE]

and on ubuntu I disconnected the wired connection profile and reconnected and was fixed.

I was testing today because I finished my Win7 Image today and I ran sysprep and by itself it will finish and go through the Unattend no problem and auto log in and finish. However when I sysprep than upload the image to fog and after the multicast deployment it finish’s the unattend but does not log in and seems skip some of the steps

OK, i tired your edit… matches exactly what i had on the ubuntu machine and still doesnt work

[code]
{
print “:$option\n”;
print ($option == ‘fog.reg’ ? “$this->kernel loglevel=4 $type shutdown=1\n” : “$this->kernel loglevel=4 $type\n”);
// print “$this->kernel loglevel=4 $type\n”;
print “$this->initrd”;
print “boot || goto MENU\n”;
}
[/code]

No, edited directly on my ubuntu machine. Copied file over to thumb drive to get back on network with my windows machine to post here

Sorry, check my above post ^

I have tried this modification and the results end up saying “could not boot: input/output eror ([url]http://ipxe.org/1d0c6139[/url])”

I have attached my BootMenu.class.php file

The thing is, doing 20+ for my school systems and I was thinking it would be easier to have them just shutdown after quick registration that way when i schedule the multicast i just have to turn them on.

Is it possible to have the machines in question shutdown Automatically after quick registration?

I used WIAK.
Windows 7 Professional x64

I was curious if anyone has experience with syspreping.

During the Unattended install it errors out and In my logs i got this .

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 30023, member: 7271”]Try 3.15 kernel from unpublished kernel listing.[/quote]

I’ll try that. btw where do i get or set that up? is that in the /var/www/fog/commons/config.php ?

Thank you for the assisitance it was very helpful.

However I do have a question. I am currently working on Lenovo SL510 Thinkpad laptops and during fog I keep getting i2c-parport-light adapter type unspecified and it will hang for awhile but continue … is there a way to fix or should i just put up with it?

humm maybe i missed something how do I have fog rename

I am currently using FOG to multicast however i do have a issue and I was curious if anyone could help on this…
After using SYSPREP i need to rename machine to their MAC address. anyone know how?
