In need of a working Kernel
-
The BIOS is set to legacy and the PXE menu does boot thankfully. After checking fog compatibility it returns HDD: Pass, Network: Fail. I’m going to try the core kernel Tom posted and see if that makes any difference.
EDIT
Tried the core kernel, no difference, same error unfortunately. -
What kernel did you try before?
Did you try the bzImageALLNET kernel?
[url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImageALLNET[/url]
This should have all possible linux drivers of network adapters.
-
Sweet, it works!
Thanks Tom and Chad for all your help and the super quick responses!
Tom- I tried a kernel that I found in a thread you posted in after searching. Clearly it wasn’t the same kernel Chad suggested earlier in this thread so thanks for linking it directly.
-
No problem.
From now on, my kernels will all be based on Core with AllNet drivers attached.
-
I’m feeling like trying something, but well. Has anyone tried compiling buildroot & the kernel on 64 bits. FOG as it is would benefit a lot from it, on system with more than 4 GB RAM, especially for the upload process… Any input on that?
I’ll see how long it takes to make buildroot & the kernel 64 bits, see how that goes… -
Just received a new Lenovo T440p laptop that I’m trying to get to register. I’ve tried the following kernels:
3.8.8. - Newest from Kernel Updater in FOG 0.32
KitchenSink kernel
ALLNET - from the link in this thread
CORE - from the link in this threadEach of these will boot to the initial FOG Menu, but when I choose Client System Information, various things happen. Most hang the machine with errors (see below). The only one that I can actually get to the menu of options to check FOG Compatibility is the kitchensink kernel - this one results in the same error above, network test failed.
The others stop before it gets there with errors:
acpiphp_ibm: ibm_acpiphp_init: acpi_walk_namespace failed
cr_bllcd: INTEL CARILLO RANCH LPC not found
nvidiafb: unable to setup MTRRAny ideas?
-
Some times it takes a while for the kernel to load as it’s checking the system and loading all the drivers to ram after processing. Try again with the [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage[/url]. It can take upwards of 3 minutes depending on the system, but I can pretty much assure you it will be fine.
The error’s you’re seeing are normal meaning the kernel has drivers for those devices, but it can’t find the device itself.
-
Still didn’t get to the Client System Info menu.
Loads bzimage fine
Loads init.gz fine
Then displays the acpi namespace error and just hangs there -
David,
How long are you waiting before you’re deciding that the system is hung? The only output you’re getting now is: [QUOTE]acpiphp_ibm: ibm_acpiphp_init: acpi_walk_namespace failed[/QUOTE]
How do you know it’s hung for sure? Also, can you possible post, when the system is hung, your FOG Server’s apache error log?
On Ubuntu/Debian based systems this log is generally located at /var/log/apache2/error.log
On CentOS/Fedora/RedHat based systems this log is generally located at /var/log/httpd/error_logI still have a sneaky suspicion that you’re just not waiting long enough. It’s actually quite common not to see anything happen for some period of time. 10 minutes might be too long but ~ 1-5 minutes could be expected. I only averaged that out to around 3 minutes before because that’s about what I see on some of my systems, but it does continue on.

The machine is still hung this morning…Here is some of the entries in the error log.
