virtualbox image upload r4792

[Wayne Workman]

@Raymond-Bell If you go to FOG Configuration -> Kernel Update can you try to grab the 64 bit 4.1.0 kernel or the 4.2.0 kernel and try those out? Let us know the outcome.

It is 32bit image will that matter getting the 64bit kernel

@Raymond-Bell Is this actually impacting anything? I’ve heard of funny things displaying for virtual box, but to my knowledge things still worked.

Well if it’s 32 bit than grab the 32 bit 4.1.x/4.2.x kernel and give it a shot.

I guess this is a good start for reading up on those messages: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.txt

Does the system freeze or panic or just keeps going?

I used kernel 3.0.1 and it worked perfect…

[Tom Elliott]

@Raymond-Bell That still doesn’t answer our questions though, not that you necessarily need to.

Did the errors you saw actually stop things from occurring? Or were things actually halted?

[Quazz]

Interesting, I’ve had this happen before (it halts the progress), but usually if I just try again it will work fine.

Is the computer running virtualbox doing other stuff while you’re trying to capture from it?

[Raymond Bell]

@Tom-Elliott

They stopped it from uploading the image so YES

[Raymond Bell]

@Quazz

I let it sit over night and still was hung when i came in next day.

And no the computer was not doing anything else…

Ok, it works with kernel 3.0.1. The next step is to get the very next kernel version that is available after this and try it. Let us know the version number where it isn’t working. We can then compare the kernel configurations between that one and the previous one and probably figure out what changed.

[Quazz]

Mind sharing your virtual settings, particularily the network one?

If I’m not mistaken, some virtual adapters don’t play nicely with PXE.

[Raymond Bell]

@Wayne-Workman

Ok will do next week

@Quazz

bridged

[Quazz]

@Raymond-Bell Which adapter is being emulated? Intel Pro 1000 EMT Desktop? (generally the recommended one for PXE on virtual machines)

Wiki has been updated about kernel updating. I made a new article because I couldn’t find anything about it.

Article is here, it is pretty sharp looking
