There you go, see the problem? bzImage32 and init.xz don’t go together! Should be bzImage+init.xz OR bzImage32+init_32.xz. Please check your FOG settings in the web GUI.

@Sebastian-Roth
With bzImage I have the same problem:

I have update to FOG 6060, I update kernels:

And I still have error (with kernel bzImage and bzImage32):

@BASURILLABAS2 In your picture below, it’s still trying to use bzimage32 with init.xz. One is 32 bit, the other is 64 bit. They can’t work together. Did you re-run the installer? What version of FOG are you using? Have you specified anything in the kernel parameters for this particular host?

@Wayne-Workman
Is the same error with bximage and init.xz.
I have FOG 6094, I reinstaled today
I dont have parameters in the multiple host that I try to capture a image

@BASURILLABAS2 So let’s take it one step back and hopefully we can see what’s missing for you here.

• Is this only an issue with HP Compaq Elite 8300?? Other client machines boot fine?!
• Do you see this kernel panic only on one particular machine or on several machines (all HP Compaq Elite 8300)?
• Have you tried booting any kind of live linux on this machine? Try Ubuntu DVD for example or any other you have at hand

PS: Trying to find out about the HP Elite 8300 hardware details I remembered that we used to have some of those machines at work. FOG worked great! Maybe it’s a hardware defect in this particular machine. RAM? NIC?

Hello @Sebastian-Roth

• Is this only an issue with HP Compaq Elite 8300?? Other client machines boot fine?! --> Now I have this machines only. PXE boot fine, the error is when I tried to capture an image
• Do you see this kernel panic only on one particular machine or on several machines (all HP Compaq Elite 8300)? --> Error is in several machines
• Have you tried booting any kind of live linux on this machine? Try Ubuntu DVD for example or any other you have at hand --> I have FOG installed in a HP 8300 and I instaled with Centos and Ubuntu and boot fine in both

Can you please be a bit more specific? Do you see the same kernel panic on all your clients when trying to capture/deploy? Different machines? Which models?

[Wayne Workman]

Could this have anything to do with the boot file?

Can you try undionly.kkpxe for your DHCP option 067 ?

In all models HP Compaq Elite 8300

Which iPXE binary do you use at the moment? undionly.kpxe? ipxe.pxe? Am I right that those machines use legacy BIOS and don’t have UEFI yet?

As Wayne suggested you can try using a different iPXE binary, like undionly.kkpxe (note the two k’s!) or ipxe.pxe

PS: I find this really confusing. Those machines are not very new and I am pretty sure others have used FOG with those successfully.

@Sebastian-Roth
I found the error.
I have another FOG in production (FOG@ehu 1.33) in production in the same LAN with the same DHCP and had a conflict with the iPXE.
I modified the DHCP an now boot properly
Thanks for the replay that made me find way

Thanks for letting us know! I am so glad that this has been fixed now.
