What version of FOG are you using, on SVN versions some have had better luck with the GRUB menu option over the new default.

RE: Wireless MAC for Snapins?
I believe they will show up automatically on the host record when the client checks in from wireless and you just need to hit the approve button after they show up.

RE: IPXE : Could not start download: Operation not supported
Can you log in to the ftp from another PC using the fog account?

RE: Single Disk Multiple Partition works after a sector by sector but not before, partition problems.
I am using 12.04 without any issues also.

RE: Sending Discover..... in loop
I would think downgrading at this point would be a bad idea I would suggest getting up to the latest svn which as of today is at 2961 and see if that resolves your issue.

RE: Single Disk Multiple Partition works after a sector by sector but not before, partition problems.
SVN refers to Subversion an update method that allows the developers to distribute incremental patches as the make fixes to the developmental build If you go this route you are essentially running the latest beta every time you run the SVN updater. Several of the issues people are reporting in 1.2 are already fixed in the latest SVN but you can also introduce some strange new ones. If you decide to go this route just be prepared to tinker a bit to get it stable enough for day to day use thankfully the developers are very responsive and helpful. Advances are fast also with a new version almost daily and each one noticeably better the the previous.

RE: One minor issue
Fixed Tom teamviewered in and edited the database to remove the orphaned task. Side note if you have existing snapins remember to add them to a storage group before attempting to update them.

One minor issue
My active tasks and snapins are empty but the fog home page states I have one queued task any idea what im missing nothing in multicast or scheduled tasks either.

RE: Cannot upload Linux Image
Here is the mistake I made fog now has 2 kernels bzimage and bzimage32 both should be updated to the same version and the kernel update page will name them correctly for you just download the 32bit version and the 64/32 bit version both with the same version number. I was used to .32 in which you only had bzimage if your like me when you click on one and saw the bzimage32 file name presented you may have assumed it was wrong and renamed it which leads to kernel panics and other assorted weirdness. Take note I am by no means an expert but It did happen to me.

RE: Sending Discover..... in loop
I am seeing the same issue at a campus but it is port dependent not machine when the machine is brought back to our central office the machine images fine. We will investigate this tomorrow and let you know what we find.

RE: Unable to register host no reason listed
Here is a video of the boot process on a image download. [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/24177483/VIDEO0023.mp4[/url]
Looks like it gets all the way to sending inventory and than gets a blank screen with a cursor at the bottom left corner. -
RE: Unable to register host no reason listed
I’ve tested 3 hosts for registration one was already registered and I deleted the record as a test all show the same issue. It does appear to be all hosts.

Unable to register host no reason listed
Updated to svn 2944 from 2933 when I attempt to register a host it errors out with a message of unable to register for the following reason with no text after it then proceeds to do the inventory and then trys to send and gets stuck there. I also have reports of images not being pushed either and will test that in a bit as soon as a machine becomes available.
