It was actually our image that was busted, so we’re good with imaging with multicast now! Sorry for the confusion, updating fog somehow made the image break.

[SIZE=3][B]Unicast really isn’t an option in this case, we’re trying to figure out if FOG can handle imaging multiple floors of computers using Multicase like our current imaging solution that we’re trying to upgrade from.[/B][/SIZE]

We’re currently going to retry a unicast upload to load a different image. Yes, unicast downloads do work.

Currently we’re running FOG 1.1.0 upgraded from 0.33b and 1.0.1.

The issue we’re running into is essentially the biggest problem, actually imaging the machines. We have a group setup on FOG to host 5 machines as a test. They’re able to connect and load FOG, they notice they have a task and fire off the kernel that has that imaging but they get stuck on this green looking screen that has “Please Wait” on it.

To make this clear, the computers see they have a task from the server, they connect to the imaging kernel, they load fog and go off to the “Please Wait” screen and stay there forever.

I’ve checked my Timezone in php and it’s correct, I’ve set the MySQL database password to be correct, and I’ve restarted the 3 services as well as apache.

It was the most up to date one that I could find while searching the forums at the time.

There isn’t anything in the /tftpboot directory with 01-[MAC].

I have a secondary /tftpboot/tftpboot/ in there as well with nothing in it. I tested to see if the web service can connect to the server by downloading a new kernel, it does have write access to the directory /tftpboot and it wrote the kernel file to /fog/kernel.

I’ve also tried your idea of cancelling and restarting the task and still run into the same issue.

[quote=“chad-bisd, post: 25773, member: 18”]If you are getting the FOG menu on PXE booting, then you do not have the correct 01-[mac-address] file in your tftpboot folder maybe?[/quote]

That seems to be the case, how would I go about fixing this? It sounds to be a permission issue.

Yes, the MAC address matches within windows, when booting, and on the FOG server.

It’s not a timer error, I’m booting to the default FOG kernel that doesn’t have any task with it. It says “Automatic boot in 3 seconds…”.

There’s no timer error, no error occurs. I want it to upload an image to the server but it’s just not doing that. That’s the issue I’m running into. It connects, it boots to FOG, doesn’t do anything but go back to windows after the timer runs down. It’s the menu with the default FOG commands, MemTest, register with the server, etc.

When turning on the PC it remote boots from the FOG server. I get the linux kernel that deals with fog.

I have a task set to upload the image, but when booting to FOG it doesn’t do anything.

After the timeout timer runs down it just goes back to normal booting to Windows.

After it boots back into windows it connects to the FOG server and sees that it has a task, and reboots.

This process is an endless loop.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 25172, member: 7271”]Is your system setup to boot to network first? If not, all that’s going to happen is what you’re describing. The client recognizes there’s a task to be performed, restart the system, load back to Windows, start again.

Make sure you set the systems needing to be tasked by FOG to boot from the NIC.[/quote]

It does boot to the linux kernel. It connects to the server and that works fine. It however does not connect to the server once it boots into the linux kernel. It just goes through it’s timer and goes back to linux.

Bump, would really like to get a response on this.

Hey, I’m new to using this type of process.

Version: 0.33b
Setup with the other kernel from mastacontrola.com

I run into the issue where when it boots normally into windows it shuts down from the client and boots into the PXE. When it boots into PXE it doesn’t do anything but wait until it boots back into windows.

Currently that’s the loop I’m in. When I cancel the task it stops restarting.
