I checked. It was in IDE mode. I switched it to ahci with no success.

I pulled the HDD out of one of the nine machines that fogged successfully and put it into the machine that didn’t and it booted up perfectly. I tried the HDD that was in the problem machine into one of the good ones and got the same error. I tried two other HDDs and got the same error as well. This is weird. All are Seagate HDD and pass diagnostics as “good”. I’m going to DBAN these drives, delete the host and try again.

I am trying to push a Windows 10 image to an HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor PC. We bought ten of these. I imaged nine of them without any issues, same image for all of them.

The final machine keeps giving me a “Seems like you are trying to restore to an empty disk. Be aware this will most probably cause trouble”. I have tried different HDDs, MBR/GPT, with a primary partition, and without a primary partition. Can anyone suggest something to try? Thanks.

Fog was listed as DNS server. We figured out the problem. Someone had entered the address of the Fog machine as a DNS server in IPv4 properties on the workstation. User error, totally unrelated to Fog. Please close or delete this topic. Thanks!

This may have nothing to do with Fog, but for some reason when we run an ipconfig /all on our Windows workstation, the ip address of our Fog server is showing up as a DNS server. We have DCHP disabled on our Fog server. I’m just curious if anyone had ever experienced this before. It could be an issue with our server (Server 2012 R2).

Thanks! Feel free to remove this topic if you feel it’s not a Fog issue.

@george1421 Thanks for the info, I’ll look into that. Our network is quite small and I’ve fogged dozens of machines here. This was the first time I’ve ever encountered this issue.

@Tom-Elliott Sorry, I added a dummy switch. Worked like a charm!

That was the issue! Thanks Tom!

I’m trying to image an Acer Aspire 5517 laptop. When I try to network boot, this is what is happening. Any ideas?

@Quazz

Permissions solved the issue. Fog had access to the folder, but when I pasted this new image in it, it needed the permissions for it.

Thanks for the help!

This is the image. It’s a PNG file. 800x600 at 72dpi.

I am trying to change the background image on my Fog server’s iPXE boot menu and all I get is a black background when the menu boots up.

I have a custom 800x600 image uploaded to my /var/www/fog/service/ipxe directory.

The image name is entered correctly in the Fog PXE Boot Menu Configuration under FOG Configuration.

I am using Fog 1.3.0-RC-5 on Ubuntu 14.04

Thanks!

Turns out the problem was that the HDD on the host I was trying to image was too small. After I replaced it with a larger one, I successfully deployed a Windows 10 image, yay!!!

Thanks for everyone’s help on this!!

So I went with Ubuntu 14.04 and Trunk and set up a new Fog server. I uploaded my Win 10 image. When I tried to deploy it I got further than I did the fist time, but this happened:

@george1421 I was REALLY hoping to avoid this.

@jburleson apache2 is installed. I ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and then tried sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 again but got the same result.

@Quazz This:

Here’s is where I am at now. Everything seemed to update well, but the last line. What do I need to do about this?

@george1421

Thanks for catching that! I had scrolled down too far in the wiki.

@george1421

Can you tell me what the correct command to enter is?

Here’s what the Upgrade to trunk wiki is telling me to do:
