Hi all,
After 3 days to resolve all bugs and misconfigurations, the system works fine now.

We have encountered three majors problems :

• DHCP starting error at installation
• Password of fog user
• Permissions on /images directory

First : DHCP won’t start at installation

• I don’t know why, but resolve by launching the install script a second time

Second : Password of fog user

• Because we launch the install script twice to solve first problem

Third : Permissions on /images directory

• Because the /images directory is a second disk mount by /etc/fstab AFTER script install
• Change permissions to fog.root and chmod 777

If i have more time, i will search for debug the DHCP install problem
I think it will be a good idea if developer can add in the install script a verify permissions routine on /images and force if necessary.

Thanks for this great project.

We have test all configuration parameter for “Exit to Hard Drive Type”
None of all works

On client computer Lenovo C20-05, boot on FOG menu works, BUT
If we choose ‘Boot on hard disk’, boot sequence failed :

• with Priority UEFI First : multiple beeps, blinking cursor on left corner of black screen, hang definitively
• with Priority Legacy First : One beep only, blinking cursor on left corner of black screen, hang definitively

To solve this problem, we have only this workaround :

• reboot the computer
• interrupt network boot by pressing esc
• Windows OS boot up normaly

Any suggestion to solve this problem without this wotraround ?

BIOS : Lenovo 10/22/2014 block version 1.29**

FOG Server 1.2 Beta revision 1007 from yesterday

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks, It works better.
We have change the ‘Out of the box’ new Cisco 2960 by a “basic” switch and the problem doesn’t occur anymore

We will work on the cisco 2960 configuration to change parameters you indicate.

When we choose Quick image & registration
Computer reboot and hang on ucdhcpc
Any idea ?
