Can you try my kernel?

I have this like error after the new kernel :

Invalid or corrupt kernel image.

We replace the kernel we have, keep the same name etc.
Reboot and try to image.

I’m I missing a step?

When you’re obtaining a new kernel you need to save it as the new location on the fog server. As the root user the commands would look something like this:
[code]cd /tftpboot/fog/images
mv bzImage bzImage.old.loads #BACKS UP THE ORIGINAL KERNEL by moving it (bzImage no longer exists
wget --no-check-certificate https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage
[/code]

Then try to boot the system.

The kernel seems to have work, no more invalid or corrupt image but I’m still not able to fog my 2 types of lenovo computer :
ThinkPad L540
ThinkCentre M83

Can you try again? I’ve updated the kernel with something that is said to help with this issue.

[Pascal Gazaille]

Thanx for the kernel, I don’t have the error above anymore but can’t fog any of my computer anymore.

It goes :
loading fog/images/init.gz…ready.

after that nothing, it stays like that!

[Tom Elliott]

Updated again, please try it.

[Pascal Gazaille]

still hanging after init.gz…ready.

[Tom Elliott]

Hmmmrph,

Going to look up specs to see what I need to add.

[Tom Elliott]

I’ve tried a few more things. Have the current kernel in the same location. Yes it’s smaller, but it’s based on KS rather than Core, which I think was causing your issues. Hopefully this time it’ll work. All I can do is keep trying until we figure out the root of the issue.

Hi,
Thanks for your help, everything seems to be working even if it givesme an error.

I’m trying to learn how to update my kernel by myself…but I’m a windows guys. So I need to read a little.
If you have any good tutorial that would help me!

So you’re good to go now?

You will get driver warnings/errors because the kernel tries to load drivers even if the particular hardware isn’t present. It just does this to try to cover as many different computers as possible. If it works, you can ignore the warnings and errors about drivers not loading or not detecting the device it may be looking for.

Thanks all for your help!
Everything is working fine!

I have applied the updated kernel as we also are having problems imaging lenovo m83. This is the screen output we get on the client machine when trying to register it to the fog server after updating the kernel from above.

When I use the above commands to get the file, it acts like it is an archived file. If I go in to properties, it lists it as a dos/windows application. Am I doing something wrong in the download?

Thanks

Try the kernel at [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage32[/url]

I can now register and uploading an image seems to be working but it’s going very slowly. After about an hour, it’s only 5% uploaded where normally we would be close to half way.
