Have you tried updating the kernel I try several and save them with a unique name that I specify in the host record for testing to avoid issues with other working systems.
-
So I’ve been trying to update the kernel but I really confused on which version I should get. Any idea on which version number would work best in my situation?
-
As you’re running 0.32,
I’d recommend getting the new kernel as such:
[code]sudo wget http://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/Kernel.TomElliott.3.19.0.32 -O /tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage[/code]
-
I generally get the latest ks or kitchen sink version when running .32 but I just saw Tom’s reply go with his for sure.
-
Thank you so much for your help but now I get a message that says “Invalid or corrupt kernel image. boot:” I also made sure that the bzimage was not duplicated. The previous version is saved in different folder on the desktop.
-
Sounds a bit like the file is corrupted. md5sum??
[CODE]$ md5sum Kernel.TomElliott.3.19.0.32
1c47679f256378dee6a673d20e766d31 Kernel.TomElliott.3.19.0.32[/CODE]If you see a different md5sum you should re-download it. If you see the same it might be broken on the server (corrupt upload)…
-
You are correct, I do see the same message. What does it mean when the file is corrupt? Do we have to reconfigure the whole server?

What do you mean by “same message”??? Does the kernel image have the same md5sum?? -
yes it does.
-
Should I reconfigure the whole server?
-
I’m confused.
What has been tried?
You’re using a different kernel? If so, you shouldn’t be seeing anything about uvesa_fb or more than 8 outputs detected.
-
I’m using the kernel that Tom Elliot suggested. After using that kernel I got the message “Invalid or corrupt kernel image. boot:” Uncle Frank ask about the md5sum and we were just confirming that we did get the same response that he stated above. At the moment we still can’t upload an image and now are more confused than ever. We are not really sure what direction we should be going so any advice would greatly be appreciated.
-
Well I am Tom Elliott.
When you first tried did you try the Kernel.TomElliott.3.19.0.32 or the Kernel.TomElliott.3.19.0.64
If either one or the other, can you try the :
Kernel.TomElliott.3.19.1.32 (if you’re still running 0.32) -
We tried both and neither one worked.
-
Is there anything else you would suggest?
-
Not to sound crude or anything but I think we need more details than just it didn’t work can you provide a screenshot of trying to boot using one of Lee’s kernels or even a video?

Do I get this right? You were never ever able to boot FOG (upload or download) on this Latitude 3540? Could you please download ubuntu live cd (or any other live cd really) and try booting this. Just to make sure.
Others made it work in the past:

But there is another thread talking about issues on this model:
