Request for Help or maybe just answers

Ok… figured it out. Blond moment… was in the wrong folder trying to do the make. Doh…

I finally got the kernel made and in place when I got the “This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.”

So I am now recompiling after using the ARCH=i386 commands instead.

Thanks.

I got the kernel re-compiled and ran a quick registration on the client in question and got this:

In the menuconfig I changed USB Mass Storage support from a “M” to a “*”. Is there another driver(s) I should be including ?

Thanks,

If this works, you’re a hero in my book.

Sounds to me, you built a 32 bit bzImage, but are loading a 64 bit init.xz.

[Theodor]

UPDATE: I was able to video the sequence and there is an intial error that scrolls off before the above image:

/bzImage32… ok
/init_32.xz… ok
Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)… ok
[ 0.269404] Initramfs unpacking failed: no cpio magic

Does this help ?

[Tom Elliott]

Sounds like the method you created the kernel is a little off. We’re not using cpio information which appears to have been added.

Which version of FOG do you use?? It’s probably a good idea to use the same kernel version to match that of init_32.xz provided by FOG.
[CODE]file /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage32
… Linux kernel … version 3.15.6 …[/CODE]
This is for FOG 1.2.0 on our production server. So I would download linux-3.15.6.tar.xz… What is your version and which kernel source did you use?

[Theodor]

I did use 3.19 with Fog 1.2 but am now downloading 3.15.6. Will keep you posted on results.

Got it working with Tom’s 32 bit .config file using Linux 3.15.6 kernel, linux-firmware.git and added USB Mass Storage and SCSI Block Storage drivers, all that did the trick. Thank you all.

Oh yes, the SCSI block device driver… forgot about that! Thanks for reporting back! Great to hear that you got it working now…
