Doh! I’m a fool. I was not capturing the images as “resizable”.

I converted one of my images to resizable and it appears to be working now.

Thank you!

Hello,
I have had my Fog lab setup for a few weeks now and I’m loving it. I converted all of my Ghost/Clonezilla images over and I was hoping to never look back.

I did have an odd issue today. This may be a problem or it may be a lack of understanding on my part so I apologize if it’s the latter.

I have a Dell Latitude e6430s image that I created with an OEM HDD (320GB WD Blue). It works great and I’ve even deployed it to a e6430s with a 250GB HDD without issue.

Today I installed a 120GB SSD into one of my e6430s machines and attempted to drop down my image (capacity shouldn’t be an issue as the image is only 19GB). This is where it gets weird. The machine PXE boots, connects to the TFTP server without issue and doesn’t report any errors. However, Partclone never starts. The machine runs through inventorying and then reboots without ever starting Partclone.

You’ll see that it runs through without issue and ends with “Database Updated!” “Task is completed, computer will now restart.” (pause the video at around 11 seconds). The PC then reboots and never images the disk.

If I check compatibility it says that the hard drive is OK.

What’s more, I ended up making it work with Ghost. I converted the image to Ghost, dropped it on the SSD, captured the SSD with Fog and that image works fine. I deployed it on another e6430s with a 120GB SSD.

Is this a known issue with scaling on Fog or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for your time!

Hello again.

I setup a new Fog machine (ha!) this week and I got it working with our Yogas!

Fog 1.2.0 (with Tom Elliot’s 3.18 kernel) works perfectly with an ASIX USB to Ethernet adapter on the Lenovo Yoga.

[B]NOTE:[/B] I did have to symlink undionly.kpe to undionly.kkpe to make PXE work correctly.

Hey Tom,
Have you had a chance to look into this one some more?

FWIW I tried two different USB to Ethernet adapters today with the same result. It seems like the USB3.0 controller driver is not working properly.

I just tried 3.14.2. I get the same issue I had before with your kernel. It gets much further than the stock kernels but it just says “Attempting to send inventory…” indefinitely and there’s no link light on the NIC.

Hey Tom,
I hate to be a pest, but have you have any luck?

I would think the USB 3.0 controller would need to be added to the Kernel so that the USB network adapter could be detected. These Lenovo Yoga S1 units use the “Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible host Controller”. Maybe I’m way wrong or you have already thought of that - I just thought I’d trow it out there.

Thanks!

Thanks man. For now I’m imaging them with Ghost and flash drives.

I let it cook on that screen for about 40 minutes before I shut it off.

It has been sitting there for a full 6 minutes now (just a blinking prompt). I also see that there is no link light on the NIC.
