@Tom-Elliott lol yea, latest svn and kernel 4.3.0 I’m not sure as to why it’s not seeing a HDD
btw thanks for all the help so far and have a good veterans day Tom, I’m also a vet

i followed this also https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence

@Sebastian-Roth Holy cow! that let me boot past init.xz!!! Now I’m getting the error Cannot find HDD on system when running host reg

@Sebastian-Roth awesome, will try today and will let you know!

@Sebastian-Roth Sorry, I haven’t tried booting iPXE via USB yet. But I have tried all the other pxe binaries through the network. It all comes to the same result. It just likes to turn the nic off and hang right after init.xz

@Sebastian-Roth I can usb boot into any OS, I just tried ubuntu. These streams are running windows 8.1 but i dont think that matters at this point.
I dont know where to look if any errors do show up. would it be in a log file?

@Uncle-Frank I have a usb DVD drive and some bootable live linux sticks… I’ll pick my flavor and see what happens…
Those dots only show up if I start an upload task from the web interface and it attempts to start. In those lines certain percentages scroll by then what you see there, that’s where it hangs.

@Uncle-Frank So I enabled debug and cranked it to 7. Is there anywhere I should be looking for a log or something? I’m not seeing anything different.
Edit: if I try debug mode it’ll add a line before /bzImage... ok it’ll show {IPaddress}/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php... ok
If I manually add it as a host using mac the machine see it as registered. If I try to do a capture task the HP will see the task and try to start. It won’t go any farther than before. here is a pic of what happens

@Tom-Elliott the output of that was

-rw-r--r-- 1 fog www-data  6799776 Oct 30 13:39 /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage
-rw-r--r-- 1 fog www-data  6711552 Oct 30 13:39 /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage32
-rw-r--r-- 1 fog www-data 15416784 Oct 30 13:39 /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/init_32.xz
-rw-r--r-- 1 fog www-data 16361748 Oct 30 13:39 /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/init.xz

@Uncle-Frank If I nano (preferred) into either one its just a mess of crazy characters

If i just put debug into any argument it just hangs the same. Is there somewhere I can read an output of (if any) error?

@Uncle-Frank is that added after has_usb_nic=1 on the fog.reginput?
or is this a separate kernel option after i would manually add the host. on host kernel arguments?.. this is an issue if i try to image or just do a registration.

Here are some pics

@Uncle-Frank Sure thing, I’ll add debug today and see what it shows. As far as the booting @Wayne-Workman I know its in Legacy ipv4 and secure boot is off. I get the fog menu just fine. for example if I add an image task and use the mac the HP will see it and attempt to complete the job. There is communication between it while the adapter is working. It just seems that after the init.xz the adapter just shuts off. I’ll be adding a few pics later to help

Hey again. I feel like maybe I’m at a loss here but I felt that anymore help would be great.
I’m trying to image these HP’s and need some asssistance. The USB to Ethernet adapters just are not cooperating.
(this is from my other post)
I’m booting to undionly.kkpxe (other machines work great) I’ve tried undionly.kpxe and ipxe.kpxe
I’ve tried Kernel 3.18.0 and 4.2.3
I have the “has_usb_nic=1” argument in fog.reginput and host kernel argument.
I’m using the USB Network adapter ASIX AX88772B device and I’m hanging after loading init.xz
I’m running 5126 trunk.
The 2 different usb to ethernet adapters are both hangin up.
any other info would be great. thanks in advanced.

@Uncle-Frank yup

@Uncle-Frank What I meant was that the original problem was the mysql. I have a 2nd issue but after a lot more research it just seems to be the HP stream 11 pro and the HP Ethernet usb adapter are not going to work for now. I was just concerned that the post didn’t get too far off topic from the original problem.

Just FYI

I’m running 5078
booting to undionly.kkpxe (other machines work great) I’ve tried undionly.kpxe and ipxe.kpxe
I’ve tried Kernel 3.18.0 and 4.2.3
I have the “has_usb_nic=1” argument in fog.reginput
I’m using the USB Network ASIX AX88772 B device and I’m hanging after loading init.xz
I have a feeling its the laptops more than anything, I can network boot and view the fog menu just fine…

any “you should try this” would be greatly appreciated.
again, thanks for helping with the installer

EDIT: I’m sorry i know this is a hardware issue now, we can scrap this half of the thread and start a new one in the appropriate area

Awesome!
I got it to install, then I had a MySQL hiccup. For some reason during install it wasn’t writing the password for MySQL to the config appropriately. I followed these (https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_MySQL) and changed the path from /var/www/fog/lib/fog/Config.class.php to /var/www/html/fog …
and now im running. now to try and get these HP’s up and running.

thanks again

Hey all,
I’ve decided to try and upgrade to the newest SVN from 1.2.0.
As I install the SVN i keep getting the failed to back up old data.
I made backups and can go back to 1.2.0 after failing just fine. (no worry there)
I’m not sure where the error lies.
Its a clean install of ubuntu 15.10 server x64
Quick back story, I work for a school district and I just got a bunch of those HP stream 11’s (using Legacy Mode with USB Network ASIX AX88772A/B device)
i keep getting stuck after the init.xz (https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5431/ipxe-initialising-devices-sticking/25?page=2) I have the same issues and want to get it going…
thanks in advanced
p.s. I love fog and it has been awesome to me
