Diatom Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Hi All I have a Fog server which which works well imaging/cloning Dell 280 and Dell 330 machines. I am having trouble registering a Dell Vostro 1510 that I have just set up with XP pro. I am sure the PXE boot is OK because I get to the first Fog screen where I select the option to reigister the machine on the network and perform the full inventory, but there it effectively stops. The machine seems to attempt to execute a series of commands and will eventually (30 minutes plus) display the Fog (lineprinter style) message and then executes a few more commands but never seems to get to the point where I can enter the machine name etc. I have done some Google searchs and searched this site but failed to find a solution, but did find others reporting similar problems with Fog and Vostros. Any ideas? Bob
ssx4life Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Did you look here? - FOGUserGuide - FOGWiki Looks like other people have the same issue with this model. Check here - https://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/forums/forum/716419/topic/3413534 If you can get that kernel or compile your own you should be set. Appears to be a known issue at this time. Perhaps when the new version of Ubuntu comes out (9.10 Ubuntu Home Page | Ubuntu ) it may have an updated kernel you can use. p.s. you can try loading fog 0.28 with the ubuntu beta to see if that kernel offers any update / fix for you. Worth a shot perhaps?
Diatom Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Thanks for the links Is there any chance that tinkering with the kernel will lose the functionality that I already have? Bob
clarky2k3 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) I imaged 30 Dell Vostro 1520s in the summer, all I did to make it work was to set SATA in the BIOS instead of the default AHCI. Try that on your 1510s. Edited October 14, 2009 by clarky2k3
morganw Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I'm using Vostro 1510s with Fog although i'm still using the kernel that was in 0.25 (I think), using the same kernel for Optiplex 760 desktops with no problems. Apart from setting the SATA mode to ATA everything worked with no problems.
