Fog PXE Boot with USB to Ethernet Adapter
-
make sure the bzImage is owned by the fog.root permissions.
[code]sudo chown -R fog:root /tftpboot[/code] -
Unfortunately, I’m still experiencing the same condition. I moved your kernel, did the chown and the icon changed (and got my hopes up) but it still just flickered when I clicked a menu on the PXE machine. I then copied the original kernel back and loaded it without issue…
-
Which kernel?
-
(I shouldn’t say “without issue” I still get the driver error, of course.)
-
3.14 x64
-
Okay,
can you try these commands specifically:
[code]cd /tftpboot/fog/kernel
sudo mv bzImage bzImage.original.worksKINDA
sudo wget -O bzImage https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/packages/web/service/ipxe/bzImage32
sudo chown -R fog:root /tftpboot
[/code]It may have just downloaded a corrupt kernel.
-
I have to head out for the night but I will give it a try in the morning and follow-up. Thank you again!
-
No problem.
-
That worked to load the new kernel! However, it looks like I’m still having a driver problem.
No it loads your kernel and says:
“esas2r: driver will not be loaded because no ATTO esas2r devices were found
lguest: switcher test too large (4384)
hub 2-0:1.0: couldn’t allocate port 1 usb_device”It then says couldn’t allocate port 2 (3 and so on…) usb_device
It continues to “Attempting to send inventory…” and the prompt just blinks and I have no lint light on the switch.

The esas2r issue is to be expected as you likely DO NOT have the esas2 scsi system on your setup.
Can you make sure that the USB NIC is running on a NON-USB 3.0 port?
-
Bah, these units only have USB 3 ports… (Lenovo Yoga S1)
-
Can you try a core kernel, maybe 3.8.8?
-
I did the same steps outlined previously but replaced the wget address with [url]https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.13.tar.xz[/url] and [url]https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.8.8.tar.xz[/url]
Both kernels will not work for me. I’m getting “Invalid or corrupt kernel”
-
the files you’re downloading from kernel.org are not the kernel’s, well not built at least. You’re actually downloading the source files that allow you to build the kernels. This is why you’re seeing “Invalid or corrupt kernel.” Because they’re invalid.
-
I was just noticing that. Do you know where I can find them pre-compiled?
-
Sourceforge
From the web gui, you can go to Other Information/FOG Configuration (the ? icon) -> kernel update and select the kernel you want.
-
Alright. I updated to 3.8.8 through the webGUI and tried to inventory. I’m getting the attached error now.

I will try to rebuild a core kernel without uvesfb and have all network cards. It’ll likely take some time okay?
-
Totally fine! I’m just grateful for all of your help.
I promise I will start honing my Linux skills in the future so I’m not so helpless. :oops:
-
Alright
try this kernel:
[code]wget -O bzImage --no-check-certificate https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/Kernel.Core.3.14.1.32[/code]
