Acer travelmate 5542 kernel problem

Try following the FAQ, last line in my signature.
Make sure you’re not trying 3.14.2 64 bit with FOG 0.32.

Ok, I was using the 64 bit. Tried the 32 bit and I am able to upload, deploying now and will see if it will allow me to deploy in a few minutes. One thing I’m curious about is I am getting this message at the start:
“esas2r: driver will not be loaded because no ATTO esas2r devices were found
i2c-parport-light: adapter type unspecified”What exactly does this mean, am I going to have any issues with this image like this?

That’s a driver being loaded that your system probably doesn’t have a device for. It’s safe to ignore that message.
-
that “error” is just the kernel failing to load a driver for a piece of hardware your computer almost certainly doesn’t have.
I have seen that “error” on every computer i have used fog with. -
Ok just tried a test deployment and before I registered and deployed, I did a system info compatibility check and network and disk passed. Deployed and hard disk said couldn’t have a partition outside of hard disk. Then went back and did another check and the disk failed. What’s going on here?
-
These are all supposed to have the same size hard drive in them.
-
Are they the same manufacturer? Surprisingly, different manufacturer’s will have different sized drives and still call them the same.
Example:
Toshiba: 80GB --> 78.2GB usable
WD: 80GB --> 79.4 usableJust throwing out some info hopefully this may help.
-
you can not deploy an image to a hard drive of a smaller size then the one you created it on (unless using a re-sizable image)
most people create their images on drives significantly smaller then what they plan on deploying to, to account for variances in reported drive size -
According to what’s listed in fog for the hardware for each computer: uploaded image computer hard disk model is STS160318BAS and test computer is ST3160815AS. They do however have different firmware though. I did test another computer and it had the same model number hard disk as the upload computer but it too had a different firmware. Bios version is also different there too.
These are referb computers that were all bought together. We have bought close to 150 referbs from them within last 6 months although those were a different model and had no issues imaging those. -
Yeah I have had experience even with the same manufacturer of hard disks being just a little bit off as well and had to send them back.
