  FOG 1.5.10 was kind of re-released (technically just re-tagged on Github) just now to patch issues causing trouble when updating from an earlier version with the location plugin enabled.

  @Fog_Newb Well, what’s the output of blockdev --getsize64 ... for the external drive?

  Not sure I understand your question? You’d simply put that number into the Host Primary Disk field.

  @Can-eh-dian11 said in Kernel Panic - Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block:

  As suggested I gradually brought the FOG server and the clients closer together until eventually they were on the same switch/subnet and I’m still encountering the error.

  Good work! Although we have not found the root cause of this we did rule out a very important factor.

  We’ve also done some more deployments and have found that the issue isn’t as limited to a specific hardware vendor as we initially thought. There have been some recent Dell laptops where we are starting to see this pop up.

  So from what we know so far I would guess this is a driver issue in iPXE. Do all the devices showing this issue have the same or a similar network chip (same vendor)?

  Try using a different iPXE binary. Which one do you currently use? Are the devices set to UEFI or legacy BIOS mode?
