Fog Version: 1.2.0
Ubuntu: 10.04.4 LTS

I tried to post the foginstall.log and it says it is spam.

We also did this:
sudo service FOGMulticastManager restart

We are still having this problem with multicast and haven’t been able to get it to work since 0.32: “[URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-1-1-0-multicast-sits-at-starting-to-restore-image-to-device-dev-sda1.10782/’][U][COLOR=#0066cc]Starting to restore image (-) to device (/dev/sda1)[/COLOR][/U][/URL]”.

We have upgraded to 1.2.0 and the latest SVN. We are able to use omping successfully. Any other ideas to try?

I found Config.class.php in /var/www/fog/lib/fog and removed the password there. Update successful.

I went to upgrade from 1.1.2 to 1.2.0 and I am getting errors on the database schema update. I had this problem going from 1.1.1 and edited the config.php in /var/www/fog/commons to remove the password which worked then but that file is missing now. Has it moved or is there a different way to do fix this?

We are having the same problem on v.1.1.2. We tried omping and that works.

Unfortunately, there is no AHCI option in the BIOS for the DX2200. We’ve updated the BIOS to the latest version HP offers.

I had to boot with a flash drive with Puppy Linux on it to get to a diagnostic screen. Neither the FDISK command or the GParted command find the SSD.

The BIOS finds the drive and since the drive already has an OS on it, the PC will boot and run fine. FOG cannot seem to find the drive.

There was another thread on this topic. I posted our details. We had two responses. Now, I cannot update that thread. So…

We have some old HP Compaq DX2200’s that we’re trying to put Solid State Drives in hoping the increased drive speed will prolong the usability of these old machines. When we try to FOG the machines, we get the FOG error:

“The second argument [1] must be a valid device (ex: /dev/hda1)”

We can put the drive in another model PC, FOG it and the install it in the DX2200 and the OS boots and the machine works fine. The DX2200 has the latest BIOS.

We were getting an “hd is null. no hard disk found.” error and it was recommended we upgrade to 1.1.0, which we did. We also applied the latest kernel.

What do we need to do?

We’re using FOG 0.32.

We’re having a similar issue.
We have several hundred old HP Compaq DX2200’s. We’ve upgraded the RAM to the max they will handle (2GB). They’re running Windows 7 Pro. We’re hoping to prolong the usability of these machines in lab environments by putting 64GB SSD drives in them. Problem is, we cannot FOG these machines with the SSD drives in them.

Before the FOGing process starts, it says “Looking for hard drive…none”. Then we get the “hd is null. no hard disk found” error.

We can FOG the drive in another model PC and then slap it in the DX2200 and all is well. We’ve flashed the BIOS to the latest version.

Is there a fix?
