Latitude 3540 Freezes During Upload

[Clifford Raymond]

I’m using the kernel that Tom Elliot suggested. After using that kernel I got the message “Invalid or corrupt kernel image. boot:” Uncle Frank ask about the md5sum and we were just confirming that we did get the same response that he stated above. At the moment we still can’t upload an image and now are more confused than ever. We are not really sure what direction we should be going so any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Well I am Tom Elliott.

When you first tried did you try the Kernel.TomElliott.3.19.0.32 or the Kernel.TomElliott.3.19.0.64

If either one or the other, can you try the :
Kernel.TomElliott.3.19.1.32 (if you’re still running 0.32)

[Clifford Raymond]

We tried both and neither one worked.

[Clifford Raymond]

Is there anything else you would suggest?

[Tom Elliott]

Not to sound crude or anything but I think we need more details than just it didn’t work can you provide a screenshot of trying to boot using one of Lee’s kernels or even a video?

Do I get this right? You were never ever able to boot FOG (upload or download) on this Latitude 3540? Could you please download ubuntu live cd (or any other live cd really) and try booting this. Just to make sure.

Others made it work in the past:

But there is another thread talking about issues on this model:

Hope we can get this to work at some point.

Please try the following from a linux client within your subnet:
[CODE]$ tftp 10.10.0.235
tftp> get pxelinux.cfg/01-34-17-eb-83-ef-ed
tftp> get fog/kernel/bzImage
tftp> quit
$ md5sum bzImage
…
$ cat 01-34-17-eb-83-ef-ed
…[/CODE]
Please post the output…

Interesting. Seems like it does not match the md5sum anymore. Not sure which kernel image this is but I downloaded 3.19.1.x and 3.19.0.x and non of the md5sums match! Please rnu this commands too:
[CODE]$ file -k bzImage
…
$ ls -al bzImage
…[/CODE]
