Network fails on compatibility test

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 29283, member: 7271”]Can you give my latest kernel build a shot?

This did not resolve the issue.

Can you provide a screen shot?

I can assure you, my kernels have the e1000e drivers. As a matter of fact, the one I had you try last night has nearly anything related to Intel enabled.

Edit for context: The first image hangs like that for a couple minutes, the the second picture hangs for a bit as well. Then it skips all the FOG info and says it can’t be registered and gives my system info. The it just attempts to inventory until I put it out of it’s misery.

Okay:

What steps did you use to update the kernel?

By it “sitting like this for a few minutes” is it not doing anything or does it go further, or you’re not patient enough for it?

[Jordon Rapp]

I downloaded the kernel, drug it to my desktop, then in terminal:
[CODE]sudo mv ~/Desktop/bzImage32 /var/www/fog/service/ipxe[/CODE]

I do wait for it, the rest of that album shows what happens

[Jordon Rapp]

I know it’s rare, but could the NIC be bad?

[Tom Elliott]

hmmmmmm

You’re running 1.0.1 right?

I’ll bet the file that’s loading is bzImage, not bzImage32.

[code]sudo mv /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage_05JUN2014
sudo mv /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage32 /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage32_05JUN2014
sudo wget -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage --no-check-certificate https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage
sudo wget -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage32 --no-check-certificate https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage32[/code]

I am, 1.0.1 on Ubuntu 13 on a Dell Optiplex 755. I will run those commands real quick

Right after I select Perform Full Host Registration, it [I]does [/I]say

So this could be the problem

Why would that be a problem?

[Jordon Rapp]

Could that possibly mean it’s loading bzImage, and not bzImage32, as you said?

[Tom Elliott]

That’s expected in 1.0.1.

bzImage is 64 bit, bzImage32 is 32 bit.

That means you’re loading init.xz and NOT init_32.xz.

If you copied bzImage32 as bzImage your system would panic.

There’s no issue, just want to make sure the right files are updated.

[Jordon Rapp]

I think I’m narrowing it down to hardware, and not software. I’ve tried many kernels, and everything is open on the network.

[Tom Elliott]

So do you have any “identical” systems that you could test with?

[Jordon Rapp]

We do have a few more 780’s around the branch, our SVP has one and is leaving soon, I will check when he leaves in an hour.

Well, bad or good news, depending on how you look at it. The other 780 I tried, while a different version of 780, did the same exact thing as the previous 780 I was working on.

[Jordon Rapp]

I have disabled RAID for the drives (the Wiki says that was a problem) to no avail.

[Tom Elliott]

To ease fears, i’m going build a core kernel config with all network, no vga, and scsi stuff installed to see if there’s some major difference in what my kernels are doing vs, what your systems are expecting. It’ll be about an hour or so, but I doubt this is going to help, if it does, cool, if not we’re not any more for loss.

[Tom Elliott]

Core config is available for download via kernel updater.

The “new” config is called TomElliottCore for the “version” name.

[RipAU]

I’ve just tested the new kernels on my Dell 755 (I am guessing they are the same hardware as Jordan mentioned in the top post.)
I’m getting the same result with the new TomElliottCore in the fog updates. I have also updated the installation to 1.1.0.

I do have a kernel that works on my fog 0.32 that I tried using but it kernel panic because the init was unable to me mounted.
I’m guessing this is because the default init is 64bit? and the new kernels know where to find the 32bit version but the old 2.6 kernel does not?
