I have upgraded to version 1.0.1 from .32, Running Ubuntu 12.04 Everything came up fine. I went into the images and added the OS parameters. I have tried pushing the image out to a laptop and it does not work. It boots to ipxe says configuring network and then boots to windows. I do not see an error message on the client. The task in fog is still queued and waiting. If I cancel the task I can get the laptop to boot into the ipxe menu and select quick image and enter my credentials. It then creates the job and if I reboot it will act again like it is going to image and then it just boots to windows after saying “configuring network”

I have some x131e laptops that I have had to specify I custom kernel so that imaging would work correctly. If I deploy an image through the main web interface the laptop uses the proper custom kernel. If I deploy through the mobile web interface it uses the default kernel. I have modified the quick image kernel to use my custom kernel and that works fine using the boot menu. How can I modify the kernel option for the mobile web interface.

Found a solution that works for me. I deleted all of the computers and reimported them. I added a number string to the description field that I can search by to add them to groups. All of these laptops are stored on shelves with 15 per row and 6 shelves down, so a total of 90 per shelf. I numbered them in groups of 15. So my numbering scheme is: room they are in, shelving unit number, actual shelf then laptop order number. So looks like this: The first computer is E505010101 (E505 is the room). Last computer on bottom shelf unit 1 is: E505010615. This allow me to search for E50501 and pull up all 90 at once, or search in groups of 15. Is working well for me.

Any other ideas for another way of doing?

Is there a way to import host group memberships? I am deploying 2000 laptops through fog this summer. I have my image setup and testing with multicast and it is working great. I have my laptops imported into fog. But I need to split them into groups of 60 or 90 so I can set to multicast to those groups without manually adding the machines to the groups. Any ideas?
