Hello everybody,
as far I found out it seems that the issue is the ATI Radeon cards, I have an ATI Radeon HD 2600 , 256MB RAM, 600Mhz Clock.
See this post, which discusses the same issue.

Hello everybody,
I think I can narrow down the problem with the snow on a computer screen. I updated to kernel for the tftpboot, which can be found FOG - Other Information - Kernel Updates. I installed the newest Kernel - 3.2.4 Core (which I had to download, upload and install manually). I hoped that would solve the snow on the one laptop, but no success.
Now I have HP2730p und HP2740p laptops. Both of them as the trouble maker show me the same error message (as displayed in Robbace initial post)

But the HP laptops continue to boot, change the screen resolution and are fully operational with any menu options you choose from the PXE Menu.
So this seem to confirm that the install ATI Radeon VGA Card in the troublemaking laptop is the problem. Again I will try to use some kernel options.
Hey there,
I am tinkering around with another problem. I am receiving also on one of the laptops the vbe_init () failed with -22 because it seems that the /sbin/v68d is missing.
so I am wondering if this NFS permissions problem is not with the FOG Server, as we can create the NFS Share on a different Storage Solution and mount it, but more like the kernel file or image or config used in the /tftpboot/fog on the fogserver is the problem?
cheers
hey,
thanks for the quick reply. In the meantime I found it 
on the jp sourceforge.net website.
here are some additional information, regarding how to change the kernel for the PXE in FOG Server
I followed squeaners instructions after i found out where I had to upload the kernel (kernel-3.2.4.core)
But I am still having the vbe_init () failed with -22 on the laptop. in my case is actually the /sbin/v86d missing, but that will be documented in a different fog forum thread.
Cheers
Hello there,
I am getting the same error message when trying downloading the newest Kernel kernel-3-2-4-core through the Fog Web management.
But I tried finding it on Sourceforge and was not successful. Could somebody send me the link please, so I can download it.
I am having problems with a laptop and its ATI Radeon graphic card, receiving vbe_init() failed with -22 error followed by snow.
I could try to modify some kernel settings, but I am to inexperienced with Linux to do so.
thanks
Cheers
[INDENT]Hello there,
I also have problem with one of my laptops. It has a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 graphics processor Video Card installed and when uploading or deploying an image I am getting the vbe_init () failed with -22.[/INDENT]
[INDENT]The Dell D610 (Intel Graphics) and HP2730p ([LEFT][FONT=verdana][COLOR=#0000ff]Graphics Mobile Intel GMA X4500 HD[/COLOR][/FONT][/LEFT]) are working great. I should get soon a HP2740p and see how that one will work.
Any feedback on that problem is most appreciated.

Hello there,
I also have problem with one of my laptops. It has a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 graphics processor Video Card installed and when uploading or deploying an image I am getting the vbe_init () failed with -22. I have to look into the kernel arguments and see if there is a setting or change I have to do. The Dell D610 and HP2730p are working great. I should get soon a HP2740p and see how that one will work.
Any feedback on that problem is most appreciated.

Hi there,
for a temporary solution I just installed a 2TB hdd into the FOG Server directly, so I can use it. My problem seems to be the lack in understanding on how to configure NFS. I am coming from the windows side :(.
But I have also the impression that a seperate NFS Server will work when you have that NFS Server installed as FOG Storage Node. I guess it does come down to the user name, password and permissions on the NFS share. Within windows i would have no problems to setup a share and make it work, so I assume t should be done in a similar fashion.
does anyone have a good tutorial on NFS Shares?
cheers
Hi everybody,
I am having the same problem. Here is my setup.
FOG Server is installed on a Ubuntu Server 10.04 with the current version 0.32.
the NFS Server is currently a FreeNAS version FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p1.
I can mount the NFS Share and access it on the FOG Server using Webmin and create / modify /delete files and folders.
I have also successful followed the instructions
[B]Change NFS location[/B] ([url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Change_NFS_location[/url])
with the exception of the step 2 exportfs -a, because when I SSH into the FreeNAS Server and run it, it says “unknown command”.
But what my basic fundamental question is on what Maproot User, Maproot Group, Mapall User, Mapall Group on the FreeNAS NFS share I have to select, because this I think is the problem in not getting the NFS share mounted when booting the client for uploading or downloading an image from the NFS share on a separate NFS Server.
The configure of the new image location works so far that I can see at the dashboard the correct Freespace size of the NFS Share.
The exports file on the freenas has following entry.
/mnt/Library -alldirs -network 192.168.111.32/27
which does not look the same as in the instruction [B]Change NFS location[/B], but it is forbidden to change the exports file manually on the FreeNAS.
Any workaround?
I will keep looking and keep you posted.
