Devices that are known to have problems with FOG Imaging solution.

Computers

Desktops

• Dell Optiplex 740 (don't use Kernel 2.6.27, try 2.6.27 RC9 or the one by Peter Sykes, also make sure you fully format the drive to remove the Dell Utility partition or it will cause issues, if you didn't try using a Multiple Partition image type) - Use Peter Sykes Kernel plus Dell BIOS version 1.1.8 and image using Multiple Partition.
• Compaq D510 SFF NOT WORKING . WORKING as of .26
• Dell Dimension 2400 with Broadcom 4401 Onboard NIC/Cisco Catalyst 2950 Switch
• Dell Dimension 2400 with Broadcom Onboard NIC - TFTP filename issue
• Dell Vostro 1510 NOT WORKING - Does not work with Latest A15 Dell BIOS, or A13. A14 unknown but presumably not working.
  • • actually, with A13, if you set "irqpoll" into the Host Kernel Arguments field for the host, it works!!!
• HP Compaq DC7900 Blue Screens with default BIOS settings (SATA emulation set to AHCI mode) It can be fixed by going to the latest Bios
• HP Compaq DX7500 unable to create image (SATA emulation set to AHCI mode or IDE mode) FOG ver 0.27\Works fine set to IDE on FOG ver 0.26
• Dell Vostro 230 Boots up, but cannot even perform host registration since can't find Hard Drive.

Laptops

• Fujitsu-Siemens Esprimo Mobile V5535 Will register with the server fine but when trying to upload or deploy an image, it will time out trying to contact the NFS server (not a server/network problem as other models work fine on our network)
• HiGrade VA250D/VA250P Errors out stating "BIOS Bug #81" and "no disks detected"
• Dell Latitude E4310 intel 825xx network card [Major Corruption Bug in e1000e Driver in Linux Kernel 2.6.27]. fail to load kernel. newer kernels dont seem to work. Kernel 2.6.32.4 PS works but without gigabit network support.
• Dell D531 laptop NOT WORKING - please note, this laptop is also listed under the Working Hardware section.
• Dell Inspiron 1721 laptop w/ Vista32Ult NOT WORKING
• Dell D510 laptop KERNEL UPDATE TO 2.6.28 - ver 0.24's b44 driver for NIC fails under heavy load (image push) - will work with 0.25's kernel (Kernel-2.6.28.kitchensink)
• Dell Latitude 2100 Netbook NOT WORKING Image upload appears fine.When deploying the network bandwidth drops at 34% of the install but, the process will complete. When the computer restarts - Windows\System32\Config\System Error

UPDATE ON LAT 2100: After problems mentioned above, also getting BSOD on startup. Change BIOS settings for SATA to IDE, completely reinstall windows using Dell provided disks and an external usb dvd drive, repartition hard drive using Windows XP Setup, format as NTFS, complete the install. Load all drivers. REMOVE OLD FOG IMAGE, CREATE A NEW ONE. Uploaded and downloaded image in 15 minutes.

[My Solution with Dell 2110] Followed the original poster's instructions after having BSOD's after re-image. I even went back to our previous Novell Zenworks imaging system and received the same results. So my belief is that the original Dell image is somehow corrupt and this is not a FOG issue. I reformatted the drive as a single partition, removing the Dell Utility partition. Installed a minimum XP for testing after switching hard disk type in BIOS from ACHI to ATA. Successfully uploaded and downloaded a bootable image. I then repeated the same process only switching the hard disk type back to the default and successfully re-imaged a bootable system.

• HP Mini 110 NOT WORKING FOG boots fine off NIC but looses NIC location when attempting to register with server. No options in Mini Bios to edit for a possible work around.
• ACER aspire one P531h FOG will not find HD with SATA drive set to IDE mode, and will throw errors with native SATA mode. Confirmed, 0.29 will not find hard drive even with the latest firmware from acer installed.
• Lenovo Thinkpad T42: PXE menu items don't work with kernel(2.6.33.0 KS) loads with kernel(2.6.33.0 PS and ALT) but automatically reboots immediately.
• HP Mini 2140 With Yukon Gigabit NIC, TFTP - File Not Found
• Acer AspireOne with Broadcom NIC TFTP - File Not found

Servers

• Dell PowerEdge R200 Don't use the latest kernel (2.6.29), roll back to 2.6.28 and the NIC (uses module tg3) works beautifully

Hardware

• SiS-900 based NIC Issue with pxelinux menu
• tg3 module NICs (Broadcom?) - Issue with loading firmware in kernel 2.6.29 (roll back to 2.6.28)
