I’m fairly new to FOG. How would I know if I have the latest kernel?
Would that be under “Other Information / Version Info”? -
you are most likely using 2.6.39.1 that was the default kernel.
Hope the below article helps,

Thank you. I AM using the 2.6.39.1 kernel… I went to the link you gave me and following those instructions to get the latest kernel results in an error “… filesize = 0”, which I looked up… Others had downloaded the newer kernel directly from SourceForge, which I did.
I then renamed the downloaded file (Kernel-3.2.4.core) to hp6200 and copied the file from Downloads into /tftpboot/fog/kernel.
I went into the properties for one of the hosts I’m trying to deploy to and changed the “Host Kernel” setting to hp6200.
I set up a new task to deploy to that host which then said “Could not find kernel image: hp6200”Not sure what to try next… Is there an issue with permissions on the hp6200 file? Does the file need to have an extension?

[Addendum] I also tried to use the Kernel Update that WAS available through the FOG console method (Other Information/FOG Kernel Updates), which was listed as, “Kernel - 3.1-rc8 Core (Use with caution!!!)”. I figured, “what have I got to lose?”, right?
Same message from the host - “… Could not find kernel image: hp6200pro” (hp6200pro is what I instructed the software to name the kernel during the download).
Just thought that info might help. -
hosts settings needs to be along the lines of the below (basically the full file path, i cant remember of the top of my head)
/fog/kernel/hp6200
edit: see the last picture in the link i sent

[INDENT]I am having the same problem. As a workaround I deploy images manually as described here: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshooting_an_image_push_to_a_client[/url][/INDENT]

Okay… just wanted to update… I (temporarily) gave up on renaming the kernel file just to see if simplifying would help. It did.
I just followed the directions for downloading a newer kernel (the newest one still doesn’t dl properly - says size=0) and LEFT THE DEFAULT FILENAME. I then left the kernel designation blank for the new workstation and the deployment (at least to just that single machine) went through - 100%. This is about a 22GB image in about 6 and a half minutes!
Thank you, Falko! You’re awesome! Hope I can return the favor some time.
