Hi all,
I currently have a problem where I can’t upload a Windows 10 image to the FOG server. It fails when trying to mount dev/sda1. I’ve attempted to update my FOG install to the latest version of Trunk as that normally fixes the issue, but when I do it doesn’t present me with the schema update page, but instead asks me to log-in.
I’m currently running Ubuntu 14.04 with FOG version 8149. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone,
I’m currently getting the following error when trying to update to the latest version of trunk:
It seems to be stuck on preparing package manager now as well… should I try updating later? Is this a known issue with the latest version?
@Tom-Elliott I’ve upgraded again so will try again later today.
@Tom-Elliott Hi guys, sorry for not replying for a few days!
I’m currently running 8088 and the last time I updated was 3 days ago.
I’m currently using a fixed size VHD.
I make the VM disk 50GB, so that should be enough… right?
Hi all,
I currently have an issue where I can’t image a newly created Hyper-V VM with a Windows 8.1 image I took earlier today. I uploaded it fine with no issues, but now whenever I try to download it onto the VM, I get the following:
I can’t see why it’s talking about partitions when I’ve just created the VHD and told it to load the operating system from the FOG server. I’ve tried with a newly built Windows 10 image and that worked perfectly. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?
I’ve also updated to the latest version of FOG (trunk).
Finally, I’ve looked on the FOG server for the log file it mentions, but it doesn’t exist.
EDIT; I just tested this on a physical machine and it’s fine (which is the bright side as I actually need this on a physical machine for tomorrow. Interesting how the VM doesn’t like it, though…)
@Andy-Abplanalp You sir, are a life saver. Thank you very much!
I assume I just add more lines like initrd ${boot-url}/iso/pmagic.iso if I want to use other ISOs?
@Andy-Abplanalp Thanks for this! I’m guessing I just need to create an /iso/ folder, assign the permissions and then transfer the pmagic iso over to it?
@Tom-Elliott I’ve just updated FOG to the latest version but I’m still stuck on ‘booting the kernel’, unfortunately.
@Tom-Elliott Doh… thanks for that!
I’ve just tried booting and it starts to look okay, but now I’m stuck on ‘Booting the kernel.’
@Tom-Elliott said in Parted Magic Boot Menu:
kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/bzImage64 edd=off load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal loglevel=9 max_loop=256 boot=live ip=dhcp noapic sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/initrd.img
initrd http://${fog-ip}/PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz
boot
Thanks for the help so far, it really is appreciated! However, I’m still getting the ‘Magic: command not found’ error whenever I try to boot into Parted Magic. I think it might work if it wasn’t trying to use this Magic command, whatever it may be. I’m not really sure where it’s coming from…
@Quazz said in Parted Magic Boot Menu:
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic.iso
chain memdisk iso
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried that, but I get the same thing.
The FOG menu says ‘Magic Boot into Parted Magic’ as the option.
@Tom-Elliott These are the steps I followed:
I downloaded Parted Magic from Major Geeks (the 2013 version) and put it in my Downloads\Parted Magic folder on my Windows 10 PC.
I then extracted the ISO within that folder and copied the contents across (minus the iso file) across to /var/www/html/pmagic (I created the folder before and gave other users read and write access) using Filezilla.
I then ran sh pm2pxe.sh, which produced the PMAGIC-2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz in the html folder, as well as stanza.txt.
I copied and pasted these two files from the html folder to the pmagic folder (so everything related to pmagic was then in the pmagic folder).
Following that, I configured the boot menu with the following configuration:
kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/bzImage64
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/initrd.img
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/fu.img
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/m64.img
imgargs bzImage64 boot=live ip=dhcp edd=on noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet - || read void
boot || read void
Finally, when I run ls -lhart from the html folder, I get the following:
@Quazz Here’s the menu item configuration:
kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/bzImage64
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/initrd.img
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/fu.img
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/m64.img
imgargs bzImage64 boot=live ip=dhcp edd=on noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet - || read void
boot || read void
Please note that I don’t have the fu and m64 .img files, so I assume it’s safe to delete them? Also, I had to change the bzImage64 and initrd.img locations to match where they are in FOG.
@Wayne-Workman Ah, that’s great - thanks a lot!
I’ve followed the instructions on the above link, but whenever I select to boot from Parted Magic, I get the following:
Magic: command not found
Could not boot: Ezec format error (http://ipxe.org/2e022001)
Could not boot: Ezec format error (http://ipxe.org/2e022001)
Chainloading failed; hit ‘s’ for the iPXE shell; reboot in 10 seconds.
I literally copy and pasted the boot entry configuration listed in the wiki, although I did change the name of ‘files.cgz’ to the appropriate .cgz file name.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix this?
Hi all,
I’m following this link (https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu), but I’ve run into a few issues during the set-up and I’m hoping someone here can clarify a few things.
I’m currently using FileZilla and have extracted the iso on my Windows PC. I’ve then transferred the extracted files and folders across to /var/www/html/pmagic/
I’ve run pm2pxe.sh but it doesn’t create a pm2pxe directory at all. Instead, from what I can see, it’s created the PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz file (which I assume is the same as the files.cgz mentioned in the wiki above). It’s also placed this directly in the html folder along with stanza.txt - not in the pmagic folder.
The wiki then says ‘now for the boot entry,’ but I’m unsure where this is. Could someone please point me in the correct direction?
I’m running Ubuntu 14.04 and I’m trying to use Parted Magic 2013_08_01.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
@Quazz I had to change the hard drive as it wasn’t playing ball, but upon doing so even that one messed me around and failed to mount the partition. It updated the database and then removed the job from the list of active tasks. I removed the host from Fog and re-registered it, thus fixing the issue. I was able to upload the image successfully after that 
Thanks for the help and suggestions!
@Quazz Nope - no warnings at all - it says it’s fine.
I haven’t disabled fast startup yet… I’ve just restarted and it’s now on “scanning and repairing drive (C:): 10% complete”, and it’s been like this for 15 minutes now. Hopefully this is chkdsk working and not hanging on me…
Yep, I’m definitely running it on the C drive which is where Windows is installed!
