    Dang!

    Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

    Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

      I can test them both on the other OptiPlex 760 and OptiPlex 780, but I am suspecting it is the same issue with the E1000E driver.
      I can’t really find much on Google about this issue either.

        I’m doing a test based on [url]http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.e1000.devel/13193[/url]

        Hopefully this may work. Maybe not setting the values at all (commenting them out) will work?

            If that one doesn’t work, try just redownload and test please, I’ve made another mod based on the patch and hopefully will get somewhere.

                  As a temp work around I tried to recompile the old fog kitchensink as 64bit and 32bit to see if that worked.
                  The kernel compiles okay but it kernel panics on init.xz.
                  I’m guessing it has to do with the new compression of the init being init.xz and it can’t decompress it when it tries to load.

                  EDIT: Got the old 2.6.39 one working with kitchen sink, not everything works. the SATA drivers don’t seem to work so I can’t see the HDD, DMI doesn’t show any fields either as well as errors about files not being found but the Network worked, and it mentioned when it was loading that it had to fall back to MSI legacy interrupts.
                  I will test the 3.15.0 kernel but change some driver options to the e1000e driver to see if any of that helps.

                    I tried setting the MSI to legacy mode in the intel drivers.
                    That didn’t seem to help either. Same result.

                    :EDIT:
                    Just a thought. Is there a debug init.xz that will allow me shell access to look at any errors and logs at all?
                    I remember I used one awhile ago with an old FOG version.

                      Ok, Just decided to use version 3.0.1 Kernel ([url]https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.0.1.tar.gz[/url])
                      Downloaded the linux-fimware into the kernel folder.
                      Compiled it as x86_64 with the Tom Elliott 64bit .config

                      Everything seems to work! (from what I can tell)
                      Not sure what the difference with the network drivers are, Obviously the latest kernel would be the best solution but this seems to work for now. I’m still happy to test any kernels on these problem models.
                      A debug init.xz might be handy?

                      Cheers,

                        fyi, i just used the 3.15 kernel on a Optiplex 780 to help test, and it worked perfectly

                          Hmm strange, I wonder if there is a difference between the 780s?
                          All the Kernels that I tried from Official Kernels and Tom Elliott’s in the forum all had the same error on the OptiPlex 780s.
                          Changing the Timing Frequency to 1000hz fixed other issues as well.
                          Granted most of my testing was on the Dell OptiPlex 755s as we have quite a few hundred of those and only a hand full of Dell OptiPlex 780s

                            Just FYI, I tested the 3.10.1 kernel on the Dell 755.
                            Same issue.

                              Kernel.TomElliott.3.0.1 64 bit is up on the kernel page.

                              If you want command line it should be:
                              [code]mv /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage_20140611
                              wget -O /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage http://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/Kernel.TomElliott.3.0.1.64[/code]

                                Just tested the Tom Elliott 3.0.1 64bit image.
                                Yep works fine on the Dell 755’s now. I’ll test on the other models shortly and let you all know how it goes.
