Just a quick update but I got the system to work.

I reinstalled from scratch this morning, Ubuntu and Fog and avoided using virtual machines. I made an image on a physical PC, it uploaded fine and it deployed to an old client PC we had spare.

it must have been the virtual PC’s that had the issue.

Thanks for the help though

OK tried that. Same issue. It now says:

tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed then doesn’t do anything before displaying the kernel panic again

Yes, the line:

sudo mv /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 /tftpboot/pxelinux.0.WORKS

fails as it says pxelinux.0 does not exist

Yeah I have tried reinstalling 3 times now since Friday.

The command line you gave didn’t work as it says I have no PXElinux.0 file. Only a pxelinux.0.old file. Im just so frustrated with this but we desperately need it in my work

Please, has anyone seen this before?

I need to figure out why this Kernel Panic keeps happening or this project will be scrapped by my manager

I have tried building images on both VM and physical machines but each time I get this kernel panic. I managed to upload an image once but when I tried to deploy it I got the same ‘failed to sync’ error. This happened on both virtual and physical machines.

I have managed to get a screengrab of the kernal panic error. Sorry for the size

Hi,

This is my first attempt with FOG and Linux and I need some help uploading an image.

I have followed all the guides and installed the latest FOG version on Ubuntu 13:10. I have created a virtual XP machine as a test image, sys-prepped it etc and followed the guides on the FOG wiki to register and upload the image.

Now I am getting one of two problems. The first is that the image upload halts at the command line:

/bzImage32…ok
/init_32.xz…93%

Or it fail completely with a kernal panic, failed to initalise, then the VM quits out.

What am I doing wrong? is it my FOG image settings or is there something I am missing. I have followed the wiki guides to the letter so far.

Thanks for the suggestions I have plenty to be working on now on Monday.

Hi,

Sorry if my question is a little stupid and obvious but first a little background info:

I have read guides on FOG and what it can do, I have completed the leg work and got an Ubuntu install on a desktop and FOG up and running ready to receive images. The dept I work in is always needing to rebuild desktop PC’s for very specific uses and at present we are always having to install our OS’ from scratch via a disk, then input all the patches, edit the registry, install propriety drivers etc. We operate this outside our normal IT dept because our needs are so specific and their deployment methods have always caused issues in the past.

As a result I have been asked to create a new solution and I think FOG may be the way to go. As mentioned the basic set-up is complete and I am ready to go back to work on Monday and start making hardware independent images on a few spare PC’s that we have. However it has occurred to me that we will still have the rare occasion where it is necessary to do a fresh install from a Win7 disc.

[I]So rather than keep a physical copy of the discs for these rare occasions, I want to know if it is possible to create an ISO of the install disk, upload that to FOG and PXE boot a PC to it and run a standard attended install?[/I]

We do of course have the required license from MS to do this.

The reason I ask is that another dept in my work use a system called RackMonkey and a deployment server to do fresh installs of Server OS’s such as Win2K8 R2 etc. It can also send a hardware independent image if necessary We cannot use this system as it’s a little OTT for our needs and it’s on another site.

I have tried researching this question but I do suffer from learning difficulties and sometimes I find the answer difficult to extract from walls of text. I am happy to experiment and try it out myself on Monday but I just wanted to know if anyone has had experience with this as it could save me some time.
