As I just added the reading ability of the “kernel” argument on the host level in 0.33b, I’m not sure this actually worked on 0.32.
I’d try doing the methods I recommended above, just create a backup of your bzImage first.[/quote]
Thanks for all your hard work on this Tom I will give it a go.

Okay so i followed your instructions line for line
[FONT=Consolas]cd /tftpboot/fog/kernel[/FONT]
[FONT=Consolas]mv bzImage bzImage.orig.2014APR01
wget -O bzImage --no-check-certificate [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage32[/url][/FONT]
[FONT=Consolas] [/FONT]
[FONT=Consolas]But i think i might have an idea why this is not working. When i navigate to the Kernel in GUI under properties of the kernel it shows
Type: Dos/Windows ExecutableIm not sure why since im downloading the file right from Terminal [/FONT]

Have you tried booting with this?

Im not sure i understand your question. Booting up the E5440 laptop?

Right!

[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24923, member: 7271”]Right![/quote]
Yes i still get Kernel Panic

There are a few things.
First, try removing the kernel parameter that was set on the host within the GUI.
Second, make sure the GUI is pointing to the right file:
Other Information->FOG Settings->
FOG_TFTP_PXE_CONFIG_DIR should be set as: /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR should be set as: /tftpboot/fog/kernel/
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL should be set as: fog/kernel/bzImageMy guess is your FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL lines are pointing at another kernel. I think this because it seems, to me, that Sivasubramaniam.T has tested this kernel and it worked on the E5440. Why it wouldn’t on yours doesn’t seem to make sense unless something is misconfigured.

Tom,
All my settings are as you listed above, is it possible that a chainloader im useing could be causing the panic? I have some dell systems that boot loop when they hit fog so i use the chainloader to append HD 0 during host startup.
Im thinking my next steps will be to test PXE booting with a different E5440 to eliminate any possible issues with the new laptop.
Don’t think it will make a difference but this morning i restarted the server.Thanks again for helping out with this but it might be a few days until i get a chance to work with the E5440 laptops as soon as i can i will let you know if its working or not.
Let me know if you have any more brilliant ideas.

Hi Tom,
I have tried the kernel with few others models. Its working absolutely fine with some new models.
[B]Good Working with below Models :[/B]
Dell Latitude 5420
Dell Latitude 6420
Dell Latitude 5440
Lenovo L440
[SIZE=3][B]Delay in loading kernel with below models :[/B][/SIZE]
Dell Vostro 3400
Dell Vostro 3460
Dell Vostro 3450 (i3)[SIZE=3][B][I]Problem :[/I][/B][/SIZE] Its taking 4 to 5 minutes to load the kernel to perform any tasks.
[COLOR=#ff6600]esas2r : driver will not be loaded because no ATTO esas2r devices were found [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff6600]i2c-parport-light: adapter type unspecified [/COLOR]
After 5 minutes its performing the tasks in a normal way.

[B]Problematic Model :[/B]
Dell Vostro 3450 (i5)Kernel have stopped at this line once the kernel is loaded

No Process after this.

[SIZE=4]I also wanted to ask if the [FONT=arial]500GB (5.400Rpm) Solid State Hybrid Drive with 8GB Flash (400-ABCY) that we have ordered in our E5440 Laptops could be the cause of why its not working for us but is for others?[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][FONT=arial]For [/FONT][FONT=arial]anyone[/FONT][FONT=arial] who has this kernel working with your Dell E5440 laptops what kind of hard drives have you been using with them?[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][FONT=arial]Thanks for the feedback.[/FONT][/SIZE]

My kernels are meant to be as much as all encompassing as possible. I haven’t a clue as to why it’s slower on some systems, or not working at all on other systems. There’s no way for me to build a kernel that just works against every possible system on the market. First, I don’t have every possible system so I can’t test the kernel for speed or if it works. I try my best. I don’t know is the best answer I can say right now.

AN EMERGENCY ON YOUR PART DOES NOT CONSTITUTE ONE ON MINE!
I realize you want help, but I can’t possibly tell you why or what is wrong. The esas2r message doesn’t mean anything, but it’s telling you that the kernel has not found that driver and can’t load it. same with the i2c-parport-light.
What the kernel’s doing after that I don’t know. It’s fast on some, slow on others, and yet others it doesn’t work at all. I don’t know what to say to help.
The best I can do is recompile and try different things.
But I don’t have the systems to build against.
I’m sorry that my kernels have failed you thus far!
