---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing

[Fritch94]

I’ve been trying to Deploy a Windows 8.1 image to Fog 1.2.0 running on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS. The upload went without a problem. But when I deploy it, i get this.

Any help would be wonderful!!

Thanks,

This might happen for one of two reasons.

First, the kernel isn’t panicking, directly. It’s failing to load the init.xz file properly. Either you just installed but did not wait until the files were fully downloaded, or the init files you currently have are corrupted in some way.

Second, the kernel bitness (32 bit/64 bit) is not matching that of the init you’re attempting to load.

I’m going to guess the first one though.

OK, thank for the fast reply. We’ve deleted both the init.xz files and updated to trunk - they downloaded again - (init.xz =16.0MB, init_32.xz =15.2MB), .
After the downloaded, we tried both bzImage and bzimage32 (bzImage=6.5MB, bzimage32=6.6MB). Also tried another 86_64 kernel.

But still no luck, same error.

Thanks,

@Fritch94 I ran into this exact problem after upgrading FOG to the latest svn. It took me a while to track it down, but this solution worked:

It was a suggestion Tom made a while ago to another user with similar issues. Replacing pxelinux.0 with a sym-link to ipxe.kpxe did the trick for me. Hopefully it will work in your case.
