You’ll need to tell us about ZenImaging a little…

Where is the boot file located? The share path, exactly.

A better question, actually…

Look on your 2008 DHCP server, and under scope options, tell us what options 066 and 067 are set to.

Optionally,

You can also turn UEFI back on, and try every .efi file.

You might have better luck than I did.

What is your DHCP setup currently? Are you using any sort of ProxyDHCP at all?

[quote=“SeqSupport@Edkey, post: 45311, member: 27616”]No message shows. It just sits there with a blinking cursor. It does not go past that point in the image.

EDIT: If we set it to use the undionly.pxe versus .kpxe it loops back to the boot device screen but there is still no screen with a message.[/quote]

Try every file that doesn’t have a .efi extension. Let us know.

Also, what is running DHCP? Are you using dnsmasq ?

The screenshot you posted,

There should be a message after that… it will only show briefly.
Can you take a video, and then play back and pause on that message? And then tell us what it says?

I had a similar issue yesterday at home.

It turned out to be permissions on this folder: /var/www/html/fog

To test, go here: [URL=‘http://10.0.0.3/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php’]http://x.x.x.x/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php[/URL]

If you see “permission denied” or anything like that, it’s permissions.

Those should be set to: chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/fog

Of course, that’s the location in [U][B]Fedora.[/B][/U]

For us to tell you where it is for you, we need to know [B]what OS[/B] you’re running.

Under the “Partitions” option, are you choosing “Everything” ??

That’d explain your blinky cursor if it were not correct.

[quote=“Andrew Head, post: 45295, member: 29323”]The different discussions I’ve read seemed to point towards using Single Disk resizable for Windows 7. I’m obviously open to changing that. Especially if it will fix my problem for the previously ghosted partitions.

If you’re doing “not resizeable” how do you combat the issue of different hard drive sizes?

Thanks![/quote]

… Our hard drives are not different sizes.

I maintain an image for each model that we have, and we don’t mix-match computers in our labs.

So why were the permissions on that directory wrong? (for RedHat installation)
Can we get that fixed in the next revision?

I found this: [url]http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/124790/how-to-check-health-of-hard-drives[/url]

But if it were me, I’d probably shutdown the FOG server, and boot up to the latest version of Hiren’s BootCD. Normally you have to find a torrent of it and download it that way. It comes with a SLUE of utilities.

If the hard drive is failing, that’d explain your speeds during imaging.

Currently uploading an image.

EDIT: Image uploaded fine.

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 45278, member: 7271”]What’s the output of the browser if you type in:

[url]http://10.0.0.3/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php[/url][/quote]

[CODE]
Forbidden

You don’t have permission to access /fog/service/ipxe/boot.php on this server.
[/CODE]

I did this:
[CODE]chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/fog[/CODE]

And now that link gives output.

and I GET THE FOG MENU!!! WOOT WOOT!!

Going to try the other files in a bit…

Made the change to the file, wow!

However, it still doesn’t boot… I’ve tried the Optiplex 745 and my laptop, which is a Dell D620.

Here’s what it does: [media=youtube]g1mQa-18ISQ[/media]

What is running DHCP? Are you using ProxyDHCP (dnsmasq) ?

What version of FOG are you running (or trunk version)?

If you cannot turn UEFI off as Uncle Frank suggested, you can try setting DHCP options 067 to ipxe.efi , snp.efi , and snponly.efi

Sooner or later, machines will ONLY support UEFI, so I would be very interested in doing my best to help you get FOG working with a mixed environment. I myself have made this my personal mission…

The easiest (and probably only) way to migrate a Ghost image to a FOG image is to deploy the ghost image to the target hardware, boot it up a few times to make sure everything is good, and then take a FOG image from it.

A side note is that you are using re-sizable disks… I’ve never used that option. I always use “Multiple partition, single disk, not resizeable” and under partitions, I choose “Everything”

I recommend 7 for your compression setting.

Is there a particular reason you chose CentOS to install FOG on? I’m not bashing or anything, it’s just that probably a lot of us are unfamiliar with it…
I myself use Fedora, most FOG users use Ubuntu.

What version of Apache do you have installed? [url]http://nixcraft.com/showthread.php/15187-Find-apache-version-linux[/url]

Also, this MAY or MAY NOT solve your issue…

[quote=“Andrew Head, post: 45251, member: 29323”]OK. Small glitch. Because I’m using CentOS 7, I’m using MariaDB. I’ve made the same modification indicated in the instruction below to get past the SQL installation failure, but it’s still bombing out. Suggestions?

We need specifics. What errors, exactly?

For the record, I’ve gone through this before.

We used Ghost prior to FOG. I deployed our Ghost images one by one, updating them, and then taking new FOG images.

And, without the developmental versions, FOG wouldn’t work in my environment.

I haven’t gone back.
