Errors Before Image
-
what version of the kernel do you have (bzImage) on your fog server?
-
BzImage Verision: 4.13.4
-
@dpotesta50 Those errors are really warning messages that linux is having a difficulty talking to your hardware. FOS doesn’t use acpi during imaging so you can ignore those message.
You can do 2 things here if you want to.
- Update the firmware on your target computer.
- Possibly update the kernel to 4.17.0 (just released yesterday). Save your current kernel just in case you need to roll back.

@george1421 Hey George
I’ll check to see if there is a BIOS update for the hardware. I have no idea how to do a kernal update. -
@dpotesta50 as they appear to be acpi errors I might suggest turning it off for that machine with the appropriate kernel arts? I think it’s just
noapci -

noapciDo I literally just type “noapci” from a command window?
-
@george1421 BIOS updated. Same errors.
-
@dpotesta50 Ok so then the firmware doesn’t address the issue. Then do what Tom recommended. In the host management page for that computer, there is a field called kernel parameters. Place
noapciin that field, save and then pxe boot that computer again.But again, these are just warning message and do not, will not impact imaging.

No Kernel parameters. I see Kernel Arguments and Host Kernel under NEW HOSTS
-
@dpotesta50 OK, I’m old and my memory is terrible its “Kernel Arguments”

@george1421 Pffft…i’m there with ya brother.
