Depends on your distro, in ubuntu try “nano /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf” and look for “option routers”.

Hi Karl,

I had this issue too and someone on the old fog forum found the solution for it by modifying the fog.capone file in init.gz
Ive attached the modified file.
The file you want to modify is in the bin folder.
For more info on modifying init see [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Modifying_the_Init_Image[/url]

Hers the lines that are changed in the file:
Find:determineOS echo $linedecode | cut -d'|' -f2;
Replace with: determineOS echo $linedecode | awk -F"|" '{ print $2 }';

Find(this line exists 2 places, replace both): osid=echo $linedecode | cut -d'|' -f2;
Replace with: osid=echo $linedecode | awk -F"|" '{ print $2 }';

Tried the kernel argument pnpbios=off ?

I know some of the HP machines have a bios option that needs to be turned on before you can select pxe booting from the boot menu, I think it was under device security.

You haven’t changed kernel or anything else since last time you imaged these computers?

Have you tried updating the fog kernel?

As long as both the student and teacher vlans are able to communicate with the server all you need to do is configure the DHCP server for for those vlans.

I’m not 100% sure with multicast but i think that also should work without doing anything.

Have you tried using kernel arguments like nomodeset?

You can use hdparm to check the performance of your harddrive, try something like “hdparm -t /dev/sda”.
Have you tried imaging the 3 computers without using multicast at the same time?

The first thing you need to do is create your image the same way you would create a image for non-capone computers.
Then you activate the capone plugin like the wiki describes and decide which DMI field that works best for you. We use system-product-name at my school since almost every computer of a model uses the same image. If theres a few that needs a different image we register them with fog and use quick image instead on those.
Then you look up the the DMI info on your computer as described on the wiki and go to plugin management > Installed Plugin > capone
Select the DMI field you decided to use in the DMI Field box and click update settings.
Select image name and OS type from the dropdown boxes and write the DMI result you got and click add association.
Then you add capone to the PXE boot menu as described on the wiki.
If you have done everything right you should now be able to image the computers that match your DMI result by selecting capone on the pxe boot menu when starting your computers.
We use a normal workstation as server and gigabit lan, if we start multiple capone sessions the speed will drop since its not multicast.
Starting them at nearly the same time help alot since the harddrive dont have to seek as much and the os can partly cache the image file.

We use it alot at my school to image student laptops, anything specific you were wondering about?

Some tftp servers use /var/lib/tftpboot as home, try copy the files there and see if your client can find them.

Noticed the same on my fog server, its set to CET and the clock on it was off by 20 mins but it still showed in sync GMT time on the graphs.
