I just heard about FOG not supporting USB-storage to prevent trouble if someone left a stick in one of the clients by accident (see Junkhackers comment here: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/request-for-help-or-maybe-just-answers.12476/#post-42596[/url]). So you’d have to build your own kernel. Let me know if you need assistence with that. See some instructions here: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Building_a_Custom_Kernel[/url] or even better here: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Build_TomElliott_Kernel[/url]

Within the init.xz file you want to study those files:
[CODE]/bin/fog.download
/bin/fog.checkin
/usr/share/fog/lib/funcs.sh[/CODE]

FOG mounts /images via NFS from the server. Change this to mount your USB-Stick. But there probably is quite some work to be done in fog.checkin too, I’d say. Forgot about that at first, sorry.

One more thing I just remembered. You probably will have to change your boot parameters sooner or later too to match things for your scenario. See how you go and let me know if I can help you.

PCI ID ‘8086:0087’ seams to be an Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250, correct? Are you sure you want to PXE-boot over the wireless adapter? Sounds a bit like iPXE does not detect your normal ethernet card, maybe?? Or it might the detect the wireless card as the first one?!?

As I already said… From my point of view multicast is NOT broadcast! You don’t need directed broadcasts to make multicast work. Just my two cents…
Do you still have errors in your apache log file??

Have you gone through this guide yet? [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshooting_a_multicast[/url]

Great! Thanks for reporting back. Sounds like the file was missing and is now in place… :-)

There are a couple of examples here in the forums. e.g.: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/boot-menu-iso-file-size.12442/[/url]

Maybe FOG does not see them (yet). But does linux? Try booting debug mode or any other live linux and check the above commands…

I am pretty sure that this is only limited by what the used linux kernel can support. As far as I can see those Apacer UDMs can generally be used with linux!! Have you successfully run any kind of linux on it??

Trying a quick search on the web I couldn’t find a whole lot of information about it but I guess I’ll find some soon.

EDIT: Just had an idea. Please try booting into a debug session with one of your UDM clients. Then see which partitions linux finds: [CODE]cat /proc/partitions
…
fdisk -l
…
ls -al /dev/sd*
…
dmesg | grep sd
…[/CODE]
If you don’t see any maybe try loading the usb storage module with ‘modprobe usb-storage’…

See if the file is on your server…
[CODE]ls -al /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php[/CODE]

Partclone has an logging option (–logfile) and you could write that log to the same place where your images are (NFS mounted to /images on the client)… Just an idea.

Tom is working very hard on some performance issues within the webinterface. Sometimes minor things are broken in current SVN therefore. If you need to add a group on your production server you could either try to find the issue yourself (Tom would be greatful for any help I guess) or revert back (see Toms post here: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/stop-auto-reboots-or-how-to-find-errors.12455/#post-42395[/url]) or you could try adding the group via phpmyadmin…
