@george1421 sorry there are some wrong info provided 1.5.9 is working as well due to some mistakes i made causing i providing wrong info.

New finding i found was 1.5.9 snp.efi came with ipxe 1.20.1 there is no issue on booting into the RHEL OS with REFIND_EFI
while 1.5.10 snp.efi that are using ipxe 1.21.1 having issue to boot into RHEL OS

As there are only 3 file being dl into the system
1 snp.efi
2. refind.conf
3. refind_x64.efi

i perform comparison between these 3 file 1.5.9 vs 1.5.10

Is it possible that iPXE 1.21.1 require a newer version of refind_x64.efi ? Could you guide me on how can i troubleshoot further?

@george1421 im not using both SANBOOT or EXIT.

Im using REFIND_EFI and yes im just replacing the snp.efi in the tftp folder getting from 1.5.8 (success boot into Redhat i just try again few min ago) and 1.5.10 (failed with kernel panic)

EXIT i already tried. It wont boot into the OS. it will just exit into the BIOS screen

@Tom-Elliott
Have new finding, I tested the snp.efi from Fogproject 1.5.7 & 1.5.8 there is no issue booting into RHEL while from 1.5.9 and 1.5.10 having the kernel panic issue

@hutch may i know which older versions of FOG you experience this issue? I experience it at 1.5.9

@Tom-Elliott From my end if i set to EXIT. It will return to BIOS instead of booting into the OS

Im using RHEL 9.0.0.

Issue happen booting through rEFInd
It can simulate by “PXE boot > FOG iPXE Menu > Boot From Hard DIsk > rEFInd menu then error below occur”.

However if don’t pxe, direct boot into the disk there is no error occur. I have no idea why if boot via rEFInd will having this issue. I do try to use Internal EFI shell in BIOS manually boot RHEL Grub EFI file, it have no issue booting into the OS.

Hi

After pxe boot im facing below error. How can i resolve this issue ?

@Sebastian-Roth May i know which part of the PHP will passing these argument into kernel ?

Hi,

My Global FOG Setting Kernel Argument configure with “console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0” for certain host i would like to set it to “console=ttyS1,115200 console=tty0” but as a result below both Global Setting arg and Host arg are added you can refer image below.

Question: how can i only use host args if it is provided else will use the global setting arg

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks I change the mounting point then it works.

Below are my FOG Server Storage (Im using Ubuntu Server 18.04)

Fog Dashboard only 21 GB available.

May i know what is the problem on my storage configuration are not right ?

@piotr86pl said in CentOS Partition Count Failed:

The script checks how many NTF

In order to use “Single Disk - Resizable” option during the installation CentOS for the /boot directory i use ext4 instead of xfs. As a result it can be capture without error but the image client size still remain the same size as the disk.

@george1421 said in CentOS Partition Count Failed:

ion is what version of FOG are you

I’m using 1.5.9, can i use Resizable disk to capture it?

@george1421 For Deploy/Capture with “Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable)” mode it is showing XFS on the partclone screen

Hi,

I face the below error. Currently only able to capture with "Multiple Partition Image - Single Disk (Not Resizable) but it cant be capture with “Single Disk - Resizable”

May i know what should i configure in order to capture as single disk resizable? Due to the deployment with Single Disk (Not Resizable) is very slow.

Below are the disk partitioning of my setup:

@george1421 said in postinit script changing kernel parameter "fdrive":

before

May i know where can i made the changes? It can be done at postinit script too?

Hi,

I would like to change the Host Primary Disk at postinit script. For example from the Web UI, configura as /dev/sda but during capture or deploy I would like to change it to /dev/sdb at postinit script. May i know how can i achieve this?

Currently i’m trying with editing /proc/cmdline. Is this the right way to edit the kernel parameter or is there any better alternate ways?

cat /proc/cmdline > /root/cmdline
##replace /root/cmdline content with new fdrive location --> in progress creating the replace script
mount -n --bind -o ro /root/cmdline /proc/cmdline

Hi,

Currently if there is an error during capture/deploy the tasks state will stay at in-progress and the system will keep rebooting to re-try.

I m working on automation to schedule task and deploy/capture but i would like to cancel the tasks if encounter error on the system and retrieve the error message. Could you guide me on any where i can retrieve these info?

I do look at the db tasks table dont seem to have a column storing these info.

Thank You

@george1421 said in Host Name Max Characters:

hosts

I just look up from google the host name for windows is 15 characters. If i were to customized it should I remain the limit for windows?

The enhancement for more characters length is only for linux os usage instead of windows
