Freezing on Inventory or Debugging

[Joe D]

Yesterday, I set up the Fog server on CentOS 6.5. The setup worked well and I can get into the GUI without trouble.

However, when I try to take an inventory (quick or full) or debug the connection, it freezes at the step that’s attached. [ATTACH]1495[/ATTACH]

Any idea what is going on? This network is by design a stand alone network without internet access. I can connect the server to a network if I have to make any changes, though.

Thanks so much for the help.

What version of FOG? And are you using a USB NIC or have some kind of USB device attached to the machine that’s being booted from FOG?

Thanks for the reply. It’s 0.32, and no USB NIC or any other USB device connected to either machine.

It looks like it might be an issue with the NIC on this model of laptop. I just tried to do an inventory of another laptop, and it worked without an issue. Any recommendations with these kind of possible driver incompatibilities?

I don’t know much about 0.32, but trying another kernel is simple enough.

To download the 32 bit kernel:
[CODE]

wget --no-check-certificate http://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage32
[/CODE]

then backup the original 32 bit kernel and replace it with the new kernel - I think this is the correct path for 0.32 and earlier
[CODE]

mv /tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage{,.ORIG}
cp bzImage32 /tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage
[/CODE]

Then see if you can successfully inventory and image

I agree with ArchFan on this. Update your kernel. Using the command line may work the best.

It definitely looks like a kernel issue due to the newer network card in the E7440. Thanks for everyone’s help.
