@buercky - Thank you! I didn’t think I had to reboot, but now when I changed the kernel it gave me an error I hadn’t noticed. Your instructions did the trick.

Sorry for weekend delay - I’ve tried the following with the same result, which is:

"unable to register host for the following reasons: ". No reason is given, it’s just blank. The machine will reach the point of “attempting to send inventory…” and the screen will scroll endlessly .

@Tom-Elliott said in Can't register Optiplex 5040- tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed:

@Aaron-Flora what version of fog are you using?

1.2.0 using latest kernel

The 3040 also has the “Fast TSC calibration failed error” but still registers with FOG.

I am having the same trouble with 5040 OptiPlex, I can confirm that it is the model (Have 43 of them here and I tested 5 random) and most likely the NIC driver is not included in the FOG Kernel.

So we’ll need the kernel updated in order to add the 5040 to the compatibility list. I’ve never done this but am willing to try. The only instructions I have found are for using Fedora to do this.

Anyone doing this, already done, know a workaround?

[quote=“sid, post: 2680, member: 558”]Thanks for the kernel, but I keep getting permission denied when I try to copy it to tftpboot/fog/kernel folder.
I use winscp and log on to server with admin account.
any Idea?
thanks[/quote]

I’m sure you’re way past this, but I use nautilus from my Ubuntu workstation to connect to my FOG and WinSCP from windows. SSH works a treat but sometimes I need a GUI.
