      You can use the link above. I didn’t have a better way to upload the file. You want to click on the download link that says “Download this file”.

      Regarding your questions, the clients all use a 32-bit init.gz prodived by FOG. It doesn’t matter what your OS/arch is. I built the bzImage file on a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 system using the FOG .33 beta core.config file. I had to specify a 32-bit kernel for output because I was building on a 64-bit system. Hope I said all the correctly.

      Just give it a try. The worst case is you are out 10 minutes of real time – the time it takes to download, assign the kernel to your client,and start the upload/download. Plus, if it doesn’t work I’ll try to build you one that does. 🙂 Just be sure to let us know if it solved your issue for you or not.

        Thanks… is this kernel 3.3 with the addition for this NIC? So, would I be able to use this kernel with all of my machines, since they all worked with 3.3? I am thinking it would be easier, if this works, to apply the kernel to all machines.

          This is kernel 3.4 with the addition of the latest NIC driver, though I think it just recompiled the driver itself. Still, it solved my issues. You should be able to use it for all of you machines. Test it out though and let us know. It would be great to know make/model with successes or failures.

          You know how to specify a kernel for a host, right? If not, I am sure it is in the wiki or forum somewhere. Otherwise, ask and I’ll look.

            I tried downloading your kermel but it had no file extension and was only 10.4 MB where as the 3.4 kernel is 96 MB

            I also tried just using the 3.4 kernel but when I got to the step of creating the bzImage I got this error:

              The size is fine. It should not have a file extension. Did you try using it? You need to put that file in /tftpboot/fog/kernel. Then associate your machine with that kernel. Then you can try an imaging task with it.

                    No good… when uploading, getting partition errors. Tried to push it down, failed… said it pushed the image down really quick and finished in seconds.

                    We are working with a Fujitsu T731.

                      OK, I’ll get back to you next week. I’ve got to rolll for now. Sorry that didn’t work out for you. Does the kernel work for any of your other systems?

                      Follow-up if you make any progress.

                        We didn’t try other machines… We had to restore it to the old kernel so that we could continue working!

                        Hopefully, we can make some progress next week. Thanks for your help.

                          I tinkered with this some more. With the bzimage34 kernel… when it tries to push down to the client, it checks hard disk and says “image cannot be outside of disk” or something to that affect. Went into the client and it had a TON of partitions… more than the 250 GB hard drive… it was like 1TB+. I pulled out the HDD and reformatted in an external enclosure. Trying the push down again to the client.

                            Same error message: Can’t have partition outside the disk…

                            A message does flash really fast about an unsupported BIOS version… but I’m not sure if that is actually the problem we’re having.

                              I just wanted to see if anyone had a chance to T/S this? Getting anxious due to deadlines!

                                  Sorry about the dead link. I didn’t know there was a time limit to the post. I have reloaded it.

                                    Sorry I missed these posts. I’ve only seen this issue when I am trying to dump a partition to a drive that is smaller than the partition. For example, if I imaged an 80 GB partition and tried to put that image on a 60 GB drive, I would get that error.

                                    The trick to make all of you images work on all of your machines (well at least part of the trick) is to shrink your windows partition before you image it. Then you can extend it when you install. My images all “extend” via a vbscript after the imaging process is complete and sysprep is running.

                                        I have the same Problem on Intels 82579LM, speed slows down to 60MB/min by using multicast. Can someone please upload the Kernel 3.4 again? All links are down.

                                          Try this one.

                                          [url]http://www.filedropper.com/bzimage34[/url]

                                          I think that is the image file. If you have issues, let me know.

                                            Thank you astrouga! I downloaded the new Kernel, but multicast is still very slow. max 70/MB per Minute in a Gbit network. Unicast runs well. Trying other Kernels dont fix the problem…

                                            Any idea why only multicast connection is slow and unicast runs well?
