FOG Kernel update showing same version number for new Kernels - 6.12.35

[rogalskij]

Our Fog instance updated to Kernel version 6.12.35 sometime over the summer. Since then new Kernel versions have been showing up under the Fog Configuration > Kernel Update menu per normal. The version number on these new versions however keep showing 6.12.35, the same that we already have. The first 6.12.35 shows July 15th as the date, but the newest 6.12.35 shows October 14th as the date.

Is this a bug only affecting us? Should we just update to the new version even though it shows the same number? Anyone else experiencing this? I just want to make sure I have the latest Kernel for new devices we purchase. Thanks everyone!

@rogalskij I believe this is expected to be honest.

The kernel version these are based off of is “Linux Kernel 6.12.35”

The date is when the FOS side built that specific kernel with whatever changes.

So, does that mean I should install the new one at the top? Or do I have the new one already by virtue of installing back in July? Sorry versioning gets confusing for me. Also what is FOS?

@rogalskij What you’re seeing is a list of all available kernels for download. The on that’s installed is the currently full release one. I don’t know which version that iss off the top of my head, but I believe it’s the October 14, 2025 at this point.
