    • RE: Looking for Hard Drives ... Then Freeze

      So I found the solution to this issue. I had installed Windows 7 on a machine that formerly was a Ubuntu Box. I tried to use Clonezilla - which identified the issue. I won’t pretend I knew what was going on so here is what they said about it:

      [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans][COLOR=#000000]You might have installed an OS with GPT partition table, and later overwrite the disk by installing another OS with MBR partition table. The MBR partition table editor, e.g. fdisk, sfdisk, or cdisk does not know GPT, so it overwrite part of the GPT partition table, but did not clean the rest completely. Therefore that’s why you got such a message.[/COLOR][/FONT]
      [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans][COLOR=#000000]If you are sure your running OS is using MBR partition table, not GPT one, you can run[/COLOR][/FONT]
      [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans][COLOR=#000000]sudo sgdisk -z /dev/sdx[/COLOR][/FONT]

      The box I was trying to image was formerly an Ubuntu box, which I installed Windows 7 on. I did delete the partitions, but apparently that didn’t matter.

      [FONT=Bitstream Vera Sans][COLOR=#000000]This worked. Just thought I’d include this for posterity. Thankfully now that this is out of the way hopefully I can put the FOG server I’ve (and the excellent guys who support FOG) invested so much time into to good use.[/COLOR][/FONT]

      It created a folder named after the mac address of the machine in my /images/dev folder , but there’s nothing in there and there’s no HDD activity on either machine

    • Looking for Hard Drives ... Then Freeze

      So - totally fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10 Server x64 on newly formatted HDD. Download a fresh copy of fog 0.33b at ~11:55 EDT install. Goes smooth. Task scheduled, loads bzimage and init.xz. It gets to “Looking for Hard drives… Done” - then it’s just a cursor in the lower left. No action on the HDDs of the fog server or the client I’m trying to upload.

      and that’s it - nothing about this 66 and 67 should be in there as well?

      tftp is running

      This is what I put in my dhcpd.conf

      if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = “PXEClient” {
      next-server 10.233.219.152;
      filename “pxelinux.0”;
      }

      What should it say instead?

    • Fog 0.33b doesn't begin uploading after task scheduled.

      So I gave up on 14.04. I installed fresh w/ Ubuntu 12.04.4 server x64 - Updated the packages and whatnot. (Maybe that’s my problem.) Anyway setup with FOG 0.33b went smooth. Registered my first host with quick register, created new image in the web gui and assigned it to the host, ran fogprep, scheduled the upload through the task manager - It shows up in the list of scheduled tasks. However when I restart the machine it just boots Windows again after 3 seconds on the boot menu. Tried shutting it all the way down and scheduling it. Turn the machine on - same thing. Am I missing something obvious here?

      Thanks,

      John
