@george1421, I appreciate your prompt response, and your explanation was quite helpful.
I’m still grappling with the last question, specifically about adding a new iPXE menu entry to enable users to deploy a disk image to a particular disk.

The link you shared seems to emphasize installers, correct? In my scenario, there are no installers; only disk clones.

In this discussion, you proposed certain parameters that appeared effective for other users.

kernel bzImage loglevel=4 initrd=init.xz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 web=http://${fog-ip}/fog/ consoleblank=0 rootfstype=ext4 mac= ftp=${fog-ip} storage=${fog-ip}:/images/ storageip=${fog-ip} irqpoll chkdsk=0 capone=1 type=down img=Dell3630Base imgType=n imgPartitionType=all imgid=39 osid=9 imgFormat=5 
imgfetch init.xz

I keyed these and changed the values to match my setting. Something like this:

kernel bzImage loglevel=4 initrd=init.xz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=275000 web=http://10.255.66.1/fog/ consoleblank=0 nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 mac= ftp=10.255.66.1 storage=10.255.66.1:/images/ storageip=10.255.66.1 irqpoll chkdsk=0 img=Windows_11_Pro imgType=n imgPartitionType=all imgid=9 osid=9 imgFormat=5 hd=/dev/nvme1n0
imgfetch init.xz
boot

I’m pretty sure I have misconfigured many of these parameters because I get this error.

Can you hep me spot my mistakes?

Thank you!

Hi,

We are looking to implement FOG for managing our laboratory. All computers in the lab are from the same manufacturer with the same specs. I’ve been going through the documentation and Wiki pages to address some specific questions we have but found little information. I would appreciate your guidance on the following:

Capturing Process:

Our laboratory requires various images for different use cases, such as Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04. Could you please clarify the process for capturing multiple images? Do we install each operating system individually and then capture them into FOG?

Deployment to Second Disk:

When a user selects a Linux image, we want FOG to automatically deploy it to the second disk without affecting the default Windows image on the first disk. Is there a specific configuration or setting for achieving this?

Sysprep Considerations:

Our images contain user accounts that we need to retain, making Generalized Sysprep unsuitable for our needs. Does it matter if Sysprep is set to Specialized in this case? Any recommendations or best practices for our scenario?

New Menu Item Configuration:

I noticed the option to create a new menu item, but I’m unsure about configuring the parameters to correctly point to the desired image. Could you direct me to the documentation that covers the parameters and menu configuration in detail?

Thank you very much.
