Hi,

you need two exports @ your additional nfs share, check /etc/exports @ your main fog installation,
maybe then things went clear.

Is it allowed for the fog ip to connect to the nfs share? It’s possible to define ranges of ip’s who can or not.

Also if you are using an alternative nfs share where is not fog installed as a storage node you will also need to install a ftp server on the same machine.

At the moment the image is finished it will be moved from /images/dev/whatever to /images/imagename this happens via ftp, this is a depricated thing because it could also be done directly via nfs but actually its done by ftp.
[QUOTE][B]KNOWN ISSUE[/B] You will get an error “Ftp connection to storage server has failed” at the end of uploading images though. You will have to manually rename and move the file from the dev directory to the directory below.
If your NFS server supports ftp as well, enable ftp on it too with the username and password specified in the storage server settings and this message will go away.
Hopefully someone will re-write POST_Stage2.php to change this at some point as if you already have the NFS share mounted why do we do this bit with ftp?

Have you tried to manually mount the share on another machine?

Finally… Bollig… are you a german?

Hi,

about the nvidia driver:

So Nvidia uk you

Hi,

@Ozzy i had success, removing the nouveau nvidia driver from kernel will force it to use generic and it will boot,
but now i have another really strange problem:

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DmvDP1k.jpg[/IMG]

The machine tells me Invalid Argument while mounting the nfs but this works with every other machine i test! (with standard kernel) Only this machines tells me invalid argument! (using custom kernel)

What went wrong here and how could it be that a single machine cannot mount the nfs? should i try this custom kernel the other ones, maybe it’s a kernel nfs problem?!

Any clues?..very strange behaviour

[B]EDIT:[/B]

I have tried the kernel i used with the other machines they all now tell me invalid argument, so this is a problem with the kernel, but i only removed the nvidia driver nothing else! Damn now i stuck hardly.

I don’t know what to do now

[B]EDIT2:[/B]

i compiled the custom kernel with latest 3.10 rc3 maybe there is the problem i will try latest stable 3.9.4 and will report back, this will happen earliest @next tuesday!

@Ozzy you only tried with rc2 right?

Hi,

@Ozzy you should mention in your tutorial that qt4 is recommended but not needed and that alternatively qt3 also works.
Afaik qt3 is preinstalled on ubuntu. once editing it, maybe add make menuconfig and optionally make xconfig.

Iam thinking about writing a shell script that downloads the latest kernel sources, unpack, check for requirements, check installed environment, architecture and start menu(x)config or compiling, copy ready bzImage.

Is there a latest online version available for download for ks.config and core.config? Then i could additionally add to use a scratch config

Hi,

[quote=“Ozzy, post: 12399, member: 3595”]I believe its the Quadro 4000. My buddy had a similar issue with a Quadro 2000d, Kernel Panic Error. What he said he did was remove the video driver on the kernel and it should go generic. He was then able to FOG with the vid card on the system.[/quote]

i will first try to remove the quadro and boot then lets see what will happen, i will report back.

Similar machines that work have a Quadro 2000 and there is my kernel working, it’s only the Quadro 4000.

Hi,

@Lee thank you for sharing this information i will try this out and report back.

Hi,

i’ve now compiled a new kernel with 3.10-rc3 sources, i still cannot get it to boot,
i enabled the intel c600 driver.

I have the following system:

Nvidia Quadro 4000
Intel C600/X79
Xeon E5

This is what i get when i try to boot the kernel, the kernel works fine on other or older hardware:

Any idea what is missing or must be enabled through the kernel?

Hi,

is there a partimage update that can handle guid?

Hi,

if Windows 7 was installed via UEFI (GUID-Partitiontable) it’s only possible to image in RAW!
This will let the storage server explode… !

Installing Windows 7 via UEFI has only two real advantages… but i don’t need em!

• Up to 8192 Exabyte Storage, beginning from 2,5 TB duty!
• Faster Boot because UEFI remembers the Windows installation location!

In our company we install windows 7 in our it department the normal way,
but HP ships it workstations preinstalled with a windows 7 over uefi, like most oems do!
(remember this if using pre installed windows 7)

Hi,

has someone of you guys wiki write access to add some information to the howto compile a kernel page?
I think the information that menuconfig can be used instead of xconfig if no xserver is installed is important!

Greetz X23

Hi,

nice thread very interesting, @Lee do you have it working now?
Can you post a little overview of what u’ve done please?

Greetz X23

Hi,

[quote=“Dageezah, post: 12358, member: 4267”]used DHCP server to export the names and MAC addresses…[/quote]

Thank you nice idea, will try this

Greetz X23

Hi,

use make menuconfig instead of make xconfig
xconfig uses a xserver for the gui this is not really needed so just use menuconfig this works in shell.

Here is an example how it looks like when using menuconfig:

Hi,

all relevant changes to the kernel are made if you compile it yourself, there is a wiki articel that describes howto do that.
If you have brand new hw you need to compile your own kernel.

Hi,

is QT4 really needed? i mean i can remember that i’ve seen a message like qt4 not available using qt3.
Jason do you have qt4 installed? me not!
I also don’t want to enable everything, i think the better way is to add slowly.

Hi,

i cannot get my kernels to boot in the machine that is using the c600 sas controller, the hp 6305 will work now but
i mentioned the following my kernels are only about 5-6MB your kernels are about 11-12MB.

If i try the kernel you uploaded i will also get a kernel panic.

Do you use other kernel sources or why is it so big or my just so tiny?

Why does no one enable everything available? Instable? to big?

Edit:

oh while reading your howto i see there is a ks and core cfg umpf
will try whit core!

Hi,

[quote=“ttcircus, post: 12322, member: 984”]didn’t work for me but thanks a lot for your time though, really appreciate it![/quote]

didn’t work for me too i tried it before two minutes on the destination machine, i will try to figure out why.

EDIT:

I will try a make clean and then compile again!

Hi,

create a cron job from fog and check crontab entries to see what it does.

Greetz X23

Hi,

[quote=“ttcircus, post: 12308, member: 984”]No luck so far…[/quote]

try this: [url]http://www.multiupload.nl/4SQKNW21OC[/url]
linux 3.9.2 kernel with enabled C600 driver.
