I am sorry it was existing fog server and i just ran the install script to update to newest version. Then something went horribly wrong. I am not sure what happen. I do not want to lose the settings. I tried to rerun install.sh and it had an issue with database password.
I can not get past that …it was having an issue originally backing up the database and it froze on that part for hours. I close out of terminal and started again.
i was doing a fog install and had issue with the database password. I am not sure what is going on.
@mmoore5553 @george1421 nevermind it imaged fine the 2nd time around. It just took 7 minutes. Is there a way to get around that or faster ?
@george1421 thank you. That worked. It is still imaging. I updated to 1.5.9 and it is imaging at 7 minutes again. I thought we did something last time to make it image faster. I am trying to find that thread.
this is an intel 10 gen and should be 3 minutes or so like before .
well darn. It said it imaged but when i boot the computer it does not boot to hard drive. I checked bios and it is set to ahci. Secure boot is off.
it tried to boot to nic card since it could not find the image .
@george1421 I am stupid …do you have a write up on how to do that and all the things i need to change .
i went to kernal updates but not sure what to pick. I am running unbuntu.
I am stupid. Do you have a write up on how to do this ?
I can use a usb and network boot but get an error when i click on the image it gives an error .
no network interfaces found, your kernel is probably missing hte correct drivers. Check your network setup and try again. It at least hits the server and allows me to get to the images on the server and then fails.
What steps do i need to do ? I am running the latest version of fog 1.59
here is a picture of the error

I have never changed the kernel before and not sure how to just check without changing everything or the proper way to change and other places I have to make adjustments.
@Sebastian-Roth yes. this is new in the upcoming models. I had to reach out to dell once i found it and let them know about it. They said the newer bios will have them. they had no clue that this would cause an issue.
good news. I had some time to play today and found in the bios if i go to advanced configuration. Then to ASPM. I had to disable that . This controls the handshake between the device and pci express hub to determin the best aspm mode supported by the device. Once that was disabled everything was fast again and i could use the new hard drive and onboard nic.
@Sebastian-Roth this happen on every model that we had on the 7070. They all had the same hard drive. If it switched it to the bigger nvme hard drive everything work as expected. I worked with george to try to track down more issues.
I am willing to test in anyway that you would want me too. I can be a guinea pig
if you want to see the videos that i took then i will be more than happy to share with you. I can take more if needed.
I am more than happy to make a donation.
i am sorry but i applied nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=5500 and nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0 in the settings.
I updated to the latest version last night - 1.5.8.28.
this is as far as i have went since it appears to be hard drive issue or how the software is seeing the hard drive. I did not know what else to try.
I having issues when i try to image a dell 7070 . It has hard drive Model – mz-9lq256a
Part Number – MZ9LQ256HAJD-000D1. It is slow and sometimes disconnects. If i switch the hard drive to Kxg50znv256 NVME Toshiba 256gb everything is fast and works again. I have seen this post but the fix does not work.

I know for a fact and can replicate the issue if i put back the hard drive that it came with mz-9lq256a.
does anyone know how to fix this ? I am working with dell on getting the hard drives replaced but would love to find out a way to work around it. We have a bunch of 7070 in stock.
@george1421 I will delete this link once you confirm you received the file

@george1421 TFTP time out . I get an ip address and subnet mask and dns on the remote computer. Just nothing else after that. I know this computer has no issue. I can put it on another subnet mask and it pulls up on our second fog server. I am creating one for another site.
@george1421 yes we are on the same subnet .
@george1421 i did send you a chat message
i am using our network dhcp server.
I have another fog server on the network that works fine. I am able to isolate to this subnet and it is not working there . I did change back to fog project with the correct password. I even looked at the other settings on fog server and looks correct.
I ran the normal install and unable to figure out how to get tftpboot to work. I have tried all the troubleshooting on this page
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Unable_to_connect_to_TFTP
Everything works and i am able to get the TFTP file transfer. I then went and checked the user settings in the fog server. I changed it from fogproject to the user on the ubuntu box. I then ran TFTP transfer and still works. I have check our fog server and settings for 66 and 67 and that appears to be fine.
I keep getting a time out. I even changed the permissions to the current user logged in.
What else should i check ? I am willing to make a donation to get it fixed and tell me what is wrong.
Thank you everyone for your help. I had networking team move to same vlan and it worked fine. Then i had them move to seperate vlan and use wireshark. I found out we had sccm pxe setup. This was done long time ago. No one removed the forwards on the router.
Now we have it working once we removed the entries.
Thank you all for replying. I will have to look at this on monday. I know the fog server and the client are on different subnet. I will have to work with our networking team to get at least one computer on the same subnet. Once i am on the same subnet i will go ahead and run your tests.
Thank you so much. I have never joined an existing network so it is all new to me. I will grab captures once that happens.
stay tuned.
I was able to manually download a file from the TFTP server when i was logged into my windows machine. I used tftp -i x.x.x.x get undionly.kpxe. It successfully downloaded the file. So i know the services were up and running.
it is when i try to pxe boot is when i run into issues. It is on seperate vlan.
