sorry inserts 2983

Tom,

Is there a reason why every time I update to the latest svn that it inserts a 298 into my MySQL password ? I have $$$ at the end of my password and it will insert 298$ and delete the other two dollar signs .

Tom,

No problem buddy. In time it will get there. Thanks for all your help. Ill continue to test. Now we gotta get this UEFI for the tablets working. Im pumped as well multicasting is working great now to. Thanks again

Tom,

2484 on multicast works like a champ now. Noticing that imaging is a lot faster now then doing 3 udp casts a once. Originally it was pushing 800 mbps now I’m doing 3 laptops at 1.62gig. That’s huge. One thing I noticed when it loads the session still says send method UDPCAST and a cool thing would be while sitting at the partclone or maybe have a screen before the partclone screen stating how many computers we are waiting on until session starts and with a timeout counter. So for example computer joins session and it sits at a please wait screen like previous versions but says waiting on 2 out of 3 computers until session starts with the timeout counter below . As other computers join the session the number on computers decreases . Waiting on now 1 of 3 computers until session starts . Would be very helpful if you are doing a ton of computers at once on imaging.

Tom,

Just upgraded to 2483 to test the multicast on 3 computers and after you type in the session name it loads the script and just sits at the network screen Broadcom Network PXE all rights reserved. So its not longer making its own UDP session but multicast wont start. Also under the multicast section in the gui… is it seconds or minutes for the time out ? I put in 60 for time out cause im basing it off seconds but maybe put something in parenthesis so we know if its mins or seconds. Just a suggestion.

Is it possible in later releases to have undionly.kpxe and a UEFI version stacked ? Meaning when a laptop or tablet is booted … the boot file will first try booting with undionly however if it detects the bios is uefi… Can it then go to that UEFI boot file ? I think I read somewhere online that its possible but it would be cool if maybe possible that was already built in to the undionly.kpxe file as an argument. Maybe have under the general settings the option to specify the UEFI boot file .

Not on these. These are Dell Venue 11 Pro 5130s . No option to put in legacy mode. I don’t know why Dell did this. Very dumb on their part.

Tom,

Everything works now. I haven’t tried testing again with the tablets yet but I will today. Imaging now with no issues, however multicasting still doesn’t work. When you go to join the session the clients just make two separate udpcast sessions and the originally multicast session lists as Queued . Also since my tablets are running a UEFI bios. What should I change my Undionly.kpxe to ?

The way i registered hosts was through pxe booting. Basically boot to the network card and select perform full host registration and inventory. The process begins and that’s where i get the error and says can not register this device for the following reason…doesnt give you a reason and then you get a blinking cursor . This is happening with everything now. Again this isnt anything to do with the tablets with UEFI. Once i get everything else to image again ill re-approach with the kernel argument.

Tom,

I cant even register regular non UEFI PXE computers ever since i upgraded to 2475. The Dell Venu Tablet is another issue. I cant image anything now. When i said i couldnt register devices i meant regular pxe booting.

quick registration does the same … however you will get attempting to register host and a blinking curser keeps moving down the screen.

Ok so new issues guys. Ever since I went to the new build 2475 when I go to register the PC for full inventory It says unable to register the pc for the following reasons and doesn’t give a reason but scrolls threw like its registering and just sits there. This didn’t happen with 2473. Also I took out the kernel argument as well.

just tried it. Didn’t work running 2475

how do I add it to the host profile ?

Yeah for sure. Im running right now 2473

An when i say beta i mean Clonezilla Live Cd and having the image on a external hd and doing one at a time. Its not fun. I updated just to the latest unoffical Kernal x86_X64 and it gets a little further it seems. It will say checking media presence on IPV4 then downloading NBP file and then just fails with no error message and boots to C:/ drive. So something isnt right wih it. Running latest bios on it as well. Apprceciate the help and will post bugs as i find them for you guys.

It never worked. I could never get these to image. I have been using a beta of clonezilla to get it working and its a nightmare.

Also i just tried doing a multicast and i went to join session added the name of the session to join and it created 2 new UDPCAST sessions. Here is a screen shot.

Thanks Wolfbane .

Thanks for fixing the kernel update guys in 2473. I tried the latest published kernals x86 and 64 for those Dell Venus and the latest unofficial as well with no success. If you can please add that into next unofficial kernel release.

The actual controller for these and the usb Ethernet adaptor are ASIX AX88772B Chipset. Thanks again. My school district will love you for this if you can add it.

Tried to do an unofficial kernel and this is what i get guys on the update

FOGFTP: Failed to rename file. Remote Path: /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/backup/bzImage20141024_162312, Local Path: /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage, Error: ftp_rename(): Rename failed.

So im running the latest 2472 and im trying to image a Dell Venu Pro 11 and im using the an EDI-Max EU-4208 usb to ethernet and not able to load PXE menu of fog. The docking station for it uses same chipset. Im guessing the drivers arent in the kernal. Can you please add it or is there a way i can manually do this. I have 150 of these to image. Bios is UEFI with Secure boot disabled and UEFI Network Stack enabled.
