Thank you for the suggestions! I can’t access my organization’s switches or the the the DHCP server to even see how they are set… I will try to install dnsmasq and setup the proxyDHCP. Will dnsmasq work with Ubuntu 11.10?

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and Fog .32. Recently our school network was modified to accommodate VOIP and the subnet mask changed from 255.255.0.0 to 255.255.224.0 My fog server was working fine before the changes were made for VOIP. Here is the message I now get when I try to pxe boot from a client.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I can ping from the client to my fog server and I can use the tftp command at the client to get the pxelinux.0 file. My Fog server is setup with a static IP, Netmask 255.255.0.0, and gateway 10.141.0.1. There is no DHCP and no DNS setup on the Fog server as I am part of a school district which has its own DHCP and DNS servers.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000]I am seeking suggestions on what I may need to modify in my network settings on my fog server so the clients can find it? Also would you recommend that I try to use iPxe and avoid the interaction with the school district servers? [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[quote=“Eric, post: 4076, member: 83”]I ran into this problem myself. I work for a school district and we have nothing but Optiplex systems. Basically this problem occurs on any devices that use an ATI/AMD graphics card. Like you said above, using the on board graphics (Intel) work just fine. Below is a post I made on here awhile ago which has resolved a lot of these snow screen issues for people.Basically I created my own kernel to see if it would fix these video issues and it has. Ive been using it to deploy over 1000s or optiplex PCs in my district and also resolves problems with PCs using VGA or DVI ports.[/quote]

Hello Eric
I used the kernel you posted on scatteredspace and I was able to register my Dell Optiplex 990s with the AMD Radeon HD6540 Video Card. At this point when I try to create the image it creates 3 very small image files. The status bars that display when building the image just quickly flash by. Are there any parameters I need to set in fog or anything else I should do when I upload an image from the Optiplex 990? Thanks.

[quote=“Eric, post: 2726, member: 83”]I posted my custom 3.3 Kernel in another thread. It resolved the snowy screen issue that I had on some of my Dells. Maybe it will help you too? Below is what I posted in another thread:

I recently made my own Kernel as a proof of concept. Its based of the Linux 3.3 Kernel and it resolved a lot of problems for me. Its attached in my post here. Be sure to backup any of your existing Kernels in /tftpboot/fog/kernel/

Let me know if it works for you.

Can your kernel replace the one that loaded with FOG .32 installation or would it be best to just associate it with a particular PC model? I was having problems with a Dell 990 that has an AMD Radeon HD 6450 video card. When I used your kernal, I got past all the other errors and snow and actually created an image - but I have yet to deploy it. Thanks for your help.[/quote]

[quote=“Schallex, post: 2511, member: 811”]Just want to report the same problem with Asus eeePC Netbook 1215B:
AMD Fusion APU
AMD Radeon HD 6…

A clue for a working kernel would be nice![/quote]

[COLOR=#141414][FONT=Tahoma]You mentioned you changed the kernel to an older version and got the imaging to work. What version was the kernel and can you give a link on how to change the kernel? Anyone else ever find a kernel to work with the Dells and the AMD Video Cards? [/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote=“wizard210, post: 2806, member: 894”]No I didn’t try the amd drivers with the kernel. I did get it to work though

I changed my kernel to an older version. 2.6 I think, not at my computer right now to check. I still receive the error message recarding v86d but the registration process continues normal after that.

I successfully uploaded and deployed the image.[/quote]
