Fog PXE Boot with USB to Ethernet Adapter

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] -
I loaded in the new kernel and it stops the following error:
“tps605010: no chip?
acpiphp_ibm: ibm_acpiinit: acpi_walk_namespace failed” -
let it keep working.
-
It has been sitting there for a full 6 minutes now (just a blinking prompt). I also see that there is no link light on the NIC.
-
I let it cook on that screen for about 40 minutes before I shut it off.
-
Okay,
So I don’t have a kernel that works at the moment.
I’m trying to figure it out.
-
Thanks man. For now I’m imaging them with Ghost and flash drives.
-
Hey Tom,
I hate to be a pest, but have you have any luck?I would think the USB 3.0 controller would need to be added to the Kernel so that the USB network adapter could be detected. These Lenovo Yoga S1 units use the “Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible host Controller”. Maybe I’m way wrong or you have already thought of that - I just thought I’d trow it out there.
Thanks!
-
All of the kernels I’ve build have the XHCI driver (USB 3.0) installed in them. They also have the specific driver needed for this device.
I really don’t know what’s going on with it. Could you try 3.14.2?
