So I just tried a e5520 that have imaged before and it’s getting stuck in the same exact spot.

1. I believe Legacy
2. Secure Boot is Disabled
3. 66 is my FOG server IP and 67 is undionly.kpxe
4. Yes

Hi,

So just got some fresh Dell 7480 laptops that I’m trying to image with Windows 10. Ran into some troubles and figured I should update from Fog 1.2 to Fog 1.4.4. Continued to have the problem so I updated the kernel to the latest and again still having the issue. It starts the PXE boot and says ok next to loading bzimage3 and init.xz but then just hangs with a blinking cursor on the next line.

I’ve tried BIOS and I’ve tried uEFI. Secure boot is off and I’m running 1.2.0

6. 100Mb
7. Couple Hundred
8. I have a unique image. Once it completes i have to go into the config file and change the fog server address so the fog client will work.

Hi All,

I’m trying to create a bootable USB image for FOG. The client doesn’t want to PXE boot because they have a Ghost server in place for that. They are trying to move away from Ghost but don’t want to mess with DHCP settings right now.

I’ve gone on and tried every way possible to create a bootable usb drive from the instructions on https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=USB_Bootable_Media but it’s just not working.

Anyone have any suggestions?

They are at separate physical locations.
1.2.0
Individual Servers
I know nothing of the location plugin
I’ll see what I can do. Def up for your input

My network consists of 4 different subnets.

172.16.x.x
172.17.x.x
172.18.x.x
172.19.x.x

I have not figured out how to image across subnets so I have set up a FOG server at each location. However when I create a base image I have to go in and change the FOG config file after each deployment so that it will look for the local FOG server and then do its auto domain join and other tasks. Any way to put multiple servers in the config file so I don’t have to create a base image for each location?

So I believe I figured my issue out. I upgraded my FOG to 1.0.1 from .32 and I didn’t know about the PXE file name change. So I did that and it still didn’t work. I restarted the FOG server and still no success. Once I ran sudo restart tftpd-hpa it worked like a charm.

So I did a start/stop tftpd service on the FOG server and now im not getting the time out but its still doing what the video does above.

Alright Tom. Step in the right direction. However now I’m getting a TFTP timeout.

Hi Tom,

Are you going to make the Kernel? That would be awesome.

[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 29927, member: 21583”]do you have the Ethernet LAN option ROM set to legacy?[/quote]

The only option in BIOS is Enabled or Disabled and I’ve tried both.

Separate DHCP server. Options set. Works fine on my Dell Laptops.

I’m upping a video to VIMEO now. Once it processed I’ll upload it.

in what way does it fail

It grabs the DHCP then I see TFTP and then it just goes back to the boot screen

what version of fog are you running

1.0.1

what kind of server do you have it installed on

Ubuntu 12

what settings did you use

Not sure what you are looking for here

does it only fail on that hardware, or all hardware

Just on this hardware. Works on my Dells.

So I’m thinking its a kernel issue but any one have any recommendations on why I can’t boot into fog with this device?
