Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to say thanks for the pointers on replacing init.gz with the older distro from 0.29. I consistently had any client image uploads fail/hang at ~10 seconds with the 0.31 FOG release. Clients were Dell OptiPlex 745, Gateway E2300, Dell D605 laptops and Dell Precision T3500's. All of them ran the test's and other functions of the netboot just fine, but would all crash/hang at about 8-10 seconds in to the upload process regardless of the image type selected. Once I replaced init.gz with the 0.29 this was resolved. As far as I am concnerend slower speed is better than no speed .
The FOG install is 0.31 on a fresh Ubuntu 10.04LTS 64bit (Patched as of 6/20/11) Provisioned with 512MB RAM. This is running in a VMware ESXi 4.1u1 install on a custom built system with specs shown in the image bellow.
If you have suggestions for optimization let me know... I am new to FOG and I have not really found any tips for running it in a VM such as do's and don'ts.
Thanks again for the useful info in this post. It made the difference in a usable solution.
