General Support / Trouble Downloading FOG image file

« on: April 13, 2012, 07:48:26 AM »

I am trying to download the image file for my FOG server to help with the one model of computer that will not boot to USB but will PXE boot (as I've FOGged them before).  I go to the Network Install page on the wiki to get the .gz file, but when I click on file link it instead takes me to a file upload page.  On the list of previously uploaded files, I'm not finding this one listed at all.

Is this file still available for download?  It is not listed on the Download & Install page either that I can find.

Thanks!

General Support / Re: USB boots into GRUB instead of menu

I positive the machine is not named the same as the USB Key, but I will check if the USB key name has changed.  I do not feel this is the issue as it boots fine in the next generation of the laptops.  There is something specific only to this one model of laptops.

Using the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB I try using the grub terminal to boot the USB.  If I root (hd1,0) then do chainloader +1 followed by boot I get that it encountered an error and to ctrl+alt+delete to restart.  If I use root (hd1,1) then do chainloader +1 followed by boot I get invalid executable format.

General Support / USB boots into GRUB instead of menu

« on: March 29, 2012, 09:00:39 AM »

We have successfully installed from the USB key ubermix on a set of Dell Latitude D610. We are now moving on to start working with a set of Earthwalk ebuddy 8.6.  When we try to boot into the USB we instead enter into the grub file.  What commands need to be entered here to successfully mount the USB to get the option of #1 installing ubermix for the first time.  The USB key works fine on the next generation of Earthwalk 14RY and sucessfully boots into the menu choices.  I'm assuming is some kind of issue with bios, but would greatly appreciate any guidance.

I appreciate any help or advice you can provide.
