@george1421 It works ! Thanks for your support
edit : Yes I’m running dnsmasq.

@george1421 I will make the upgrade to 1.3.0. My fear was to get that Kernel Panic message again (Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)) but since I’m working with fresh server and FOG installations, I’ll give it another try. I’ll let you know what happens then.

@george1421 Well I had this old Proliant ML150 G6 doing nothing and I wanted to use it as my next Fog server. Since Fog is not operational at the moment, and it’s pretty quiet around here (I work in a university) I decided to make the hardware switch.

About the problem I have now, which is the same problem I had at the very beginning:

I have 2 models of client PC. HP 6200 and HP Prodesk 600 (that I just received).

Fog works perfectly well with the 6200, but I when try to register a Prodesk 600, I’m getting this error: Unable to register host for the following reasons:
Then it gives no reason, and then the system displays some inventory data. Then it just slowly scrolls down forever after it displayed the message attempting to register host …

I tried to upgrade the kernel, then it just got worst. It did not work on either the 6200 or the ProDesk 600… I was getting this message on both models:
Unable to register host: Invalid MAC Address! (/bin/fog.man.reg)

@george1421 I have decided to reinstall 14.04 server from scratch and fog 1.2.0 with the latest kernel. I need to start a new thread. Thanks again for your help.

@george1421 First, thanks a lot for your help. Unfortunately I get the same error.

The Fog menu appears correctly on the client, but then whatever option I choose I get the Kernel Panic message …

@george1421

Thanks for the quick reply. I understand I should have started a new thread. Sorry about this. I don’t know what to answer to your first question. Can you be more specific on where I can find this information (dhcp option 67 {boot file} in dnsmasq) ? My Fog configuration have been running smoothly for several years and I havent made any modification for a long while and I don’t have a great knowledge when it comes to Linux or Fog. About the other question, I created a link from pxelinux.0 to undionly.kpxe. This was done way before I made to update to Fog 1.3.
For what it’s worth, in the ltsp.conf file, the boot filename line is set to : dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0

Hi,

I just updated from 1.2 to (Running Version 1.3.0-RC-1 SVN Revision: 5936) and since then when I try to quick register a host or just check the compatibility of a client with Fog, I am getting this message:

Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)

I am using a dnsmasq environment.

Honestly I don’t know where to start to get this solved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
