a bit of advice on passwords. keepass. it’s a free encrypted database designed for storing password information. i use dropbox to keep my password database synchronized across multiple machines.

you can not deploy an image to a hard drive of a smaller size then the one you created it on (unless using a re-sizable image)
most people create their images on drives significantly smaller then what they plan on deploying to, to account for variances in reported drive size

The config.php file IS asking for the MySQL root user password, NOT the computer root user password
i think maybe you have your passwords documented wrong, or you set the computer root password and the mySQL root password to the same thing

that “error” is just the kernel failing to load a driver for a piece of hardware your computer almost certainly doesn’t have.
I have seen that “error” on every computer i have used fog with.

no

the setting in the fog web gui under fog configuration>fog settings>settings>tftp server
“FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR” for ubuntu 12.04 should be “/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/” and
“FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL” should be “bzImage”
have you checked these?

the error is just telling you that it failed to load the driver for a device you almost certainly don’t have in your computer. the first “error” has nothing to do with the next problem.
what version of fog are you using? (an svn release, 1.0.0, 1.0.1)
what kind of download task did you use? (unicast or multicast)
what is the image type?
the more details you give, the more likely we can help you.
btw, those links are not work as direct links to images.

what you need to change depends on exactly how you had the server configured. you will not need to make any changes to the way that ipxe operates. running the installer again will update the software with your previously chosen settings, and i don’t think it will solve your problem.

the “it works” page is the default page for apache telling you that it is running properly. the fog page relies on connection to the mysql database.
did you set a password for mysql when you installed? if so, make sure it is set in the /commons/config.php file located in the root of your web server. most likely in /var/www/fog/commons/config.php

for the server, or the net address reported by ipxe to the server?

FOG_BOOT_EXIT_TYPE is only relevant for .33+ versions of Fog.
does the computer boot properly when not connected to the network?

this is a feature we have been talking about for future releases, but there is no timetable for if/when it will be implemented.
right now we’re focusing on fixing issues first
thank you for the suggestion.

namechange is working for me. the computer you create an image from should NOT be joined to the domain, if that’s what you’re asking.

what do you have set for DHCP option 67?
older versions of fog used pxelinux.0
fog 1.0+ uses undionly.kpxe

sorry about the typo

fyi, you can associate more then one MAC address with a host.
add additional MACs to a host on the host management page for that host.

i believe we have found a solution to this problem

that is an old guide. KB838079 is required anymore. The Fog service is required for some features of fog such as automatic hosthame chages, automatic adding to the domain, and deploying snapins (which, for example, i use to deploy antivirus after the computer is on the domain, and run scheduled software updates)

i highly recommending using the fog wiki and forum instead of external guides

thank you for your bug report. we now believe we have a fix.

if all you need is a pxe server, and you’re not going to use the advanced features of fog, then you really don’t need fog. fog 1.0+ no longer use pxelinux. as such, fog no longer uses the /pxelinux.cfg folder and any boot menu options that you created before will not work the same way. the boot menu is now generated dynamically through the web site using php.
