OK, well i spoke too soon, after it said resizing disks, its giving message unable to contact ftpserver, I didnt think I was using ftp, I thought I was using NFS, so I'm not sure whats going on there??

Hi, Just changed SATA mode to be IDE and it's looking a bit more promising, it has at least gone a bit further now, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks for the help with this, really appreciate it. Mick.

Thanks for your help Geoff, but even with the new kernel installed it still can't find the hard disk on the HP machine. any idea's what to try next or is this pc just not compatible with FOG? Mick.

Finally managed to send an image to a client, the reason it wasnt working was because the image files were still in the temp directory in dev, so moved them to be in Images/Win7 and it was fine, so it must have been due to it failing at 99%....? But now I have a new problem, when I have imaged a client, it give an inaccesible boot device error, anyone know what could be causing this? Unless the image is fried? Thanks in advance, Mick.

Hi, We've just got a few HP Pro 3010MT's and am getting the same error, I'm not a *nix expert, but when you say swap the kernel around, how do I go about that? Any help would be appreciated. Mick.

OK I managed to change the password back to what it was, and now I can connect to the tftp server again, but when I try to image a pc I get the error that it can't find image file 'sys.img.000', I've checked and the img file has been created, maybe when it errored at 99% the img file has been damaged?? anyway I'm back to square one.. one thing I didnt mention is that both the Ubuntu server and the clients are all virtual machines using Sun Virtualbox ( just for testing purposes ), I don't know whether this has anything to do with the issues i'm getting. Has anyone successfully done this with virtual hosts? Mick.

ssx4life, thanks for your reply, I hadn't done the prep or altered the tftp password, so I ran through this and did them, now when I try to set an upload task for a pc I get 'Unable to connect to TFTP server' do I need to setup everything from scratch again for it to pick up the changed password? Mick.

Hi, Just trying out FOG ( V 0.29 ) Im installing it on Ubuntu 10.04, after a lot of messing about ( I'm a *nix noob ) but I think I have it setup OK, I'm using NFS to transfer the image from the client to the server, this seems to work as I get the blue screen and its counting up, it gets to 99% then comes up with an error about not being able to contact ftp server. Has anyone seen this error before or know what I might have done wrong for this to happen? Any help would be appreciated. Mick.
