Dell E5540 - Stopped @ tps65010

[OldSkoolMC]

I was battling this error all day until I found this kernel that worked:
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=monospace]wget -O bzImage --no-check-certificate [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage32[/url][/FONT][/COLOR]
[url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Kernel_Panic_or_Drivers_Not_functioning[/url]

So I have two questions.

1. What version is this kernel based off of?

2. What is different with that kernel than say 3.8.8?

We created a custom kernel based off of 3.14 before I found the above kernel that worked with the Dell E5540. We couldn’t get it ours work. What were we missing or not removing?

Thanks

Thanks for the info.

My guess, your kernel was being built with:[code]make bzImage[/code]

You need to build with:[code]make ARCH=i386 bzImage[/code]

I don’t know what’s different. My kernels (e.g. mastacontrola.com) are built based off of a combination of CORE and KS configs. The only main difference is I’ve added, basically, all the possible network drivers, none of the video drivers so no issues with modeset, and a vast array of hard drives.

I don’t know what else you need.

I try to keep all of my kernels updated to the latest stable release so this particular one is 3.14.0, you can check by going in to debug mode and running uname -rm.
