Anyone have a 3.4 kernel to hand?
-
[quote=“astrouga, post: 3793, member: 907”]That is good news. I’m going to build a Kitchen-Sink 34 kernel as well. Hopefully I’ll get a chance this week.[/quote]
does it not work on all you equipment? what does the KS have extra, just more drivers?
-
I haven’t had a chance to try it on everything inventory yet – my FOG system is in limbo as I have mainly been playing with .33 beta. Though I suspect it will work on everything.
The KS is supposed to have more drivers, though I haven’t looked at the .config file to see what sort of things are included. Perhaps it will be unnecessary. I read sometime back that the KS kernel might increase device support at the cost of performance though. I’ll have to try some comparisons on different hardware between the core.config and kitchensink.config, just to see if that is true these days.

what are the changes?
thanks -
tbh i’m not quite sure lol, I know it has vmware ISCSI support and is just a maintenance release of astrouga’s 3.4 really
Linux kernel 3.4.1 includes mostly updated drivers, a few ARM, PowerPC, x86, and SPARC fixes, and other small improvements related to wireless networking and SELinux.

well, its probably not the right place to ask, but is there a reason when I deploy to a bunch of computers, it seems to have a memory leak and then seems to just loose network connectivity?
I hope you can help.
again, sorry if its the wrong thread for this stuff. -
Are you refering to 3.4, 3.4.1?
What’s your set up? What PCs

well, we have a ubuntu 10.04 server. and we have a ubuntu 10.04 storage server with tftp and pxe abilities thanks to the guide on the fog wiki and I included dhcp in that so that we could get it to work on a different network.
we are using currently some optiplex 760 and 740 computers and are going to be upgrading to optiplex 790s here soon.

What kernel? And are your Ubuntu machines fully updated? -
[quote=“falko, post: 3905, member: 48”]What kernel? And are your Ubuntu machines fully updated?[/quote]
yes and 3.4.0 the one that was posted earlier on this thread. is that bad? -
If your having issues , try the 3.4.1 or roll back to a kernel that works with them machines.

well, the thing is, it works just fine, but the server gets slammed and we loose all contact with it, and the ram usage goes through the roof!
could the kernel have something to do with it?
the fog kernel I mean?
thank you again. -
Will the more ATI drivers be rolled into the Kitchen Sink 3.4.x? I am currently using [URL=‘http://scatteredspace.com/Fog/bzImage.zip’]this kernel[/URL] for any workstation that has an ATI card, otherwise I get the snow screen.

have you tried the 3.4.1 kernel?what ati card?
what kernel is that?

well I can report that we rebuilt the server with Debian, and for a while it seemed to do just fine until it stalled out and we had like 8 computers to go. I think I will start a new thread.
I do want to know, what kind of hardware does your fog server have in it? could that be the problem? could we have a server with not enough power in it to do the job?
thanks -
I don’t think you need a powerful server - I’m using an HP Microserver (AMD N36L processor) with 3Gb ram and 2 x 1Tb sata drives in software raid 1 so not exactly a Ferrari… It has no problems imaging 10 machines concurrently and I’ve not seen any memory leak issues. I’m on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and FOG 0.31 running the 3.4 kernel.

well, I can give you what happens to our server after a while of imageing, I have the syslog output.
here it is below.
note: I took the computername out of the log output.
