It does not appear that these desktops have UEFI capable BIOS, I searched pretty thoroughly through the BIOS options and came up empty. No worries though, I’m having them swapped for a couple of identical units. I was able to image two of the four successfully so I’m just going to chalk this up as bad luck for now.

I fail… for whatever reason two out of the four I have don’t work. I just tried a third one and it boots the Kernel you provided just fine. Guess I’ll have to figure out whats wrong with those two workstations.

Thanks again for your help Tom!

Yes, thank you Tom. Your kernel helped me with my previous issue and I still have it stored on the server. I tried that and the one you just linked thinking it might be updated but I’m still dealing with the same error. I’m a total Linux newb so I wouldn’t know the first thing about “passing init= option to the kernel,” which it suggests I try.

Hey everyone,

I’m having some trouble getting some hp DC7600’s to image with FOG. After checking the WorkingDevices page it was noted that these desktops would work with all Kitchen Sink Kernels. They will boot to the PXE menu but no matter what kernel is installed (I’ve tried every kitchen sink kernel available through FOG) I keep getting kernel panics, some end up hanging before any text is outputted. Would anyone here be able to point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Sweet, it works!

Thanks Tom and Chad for all your help and the super quick responses!

Tom- I tried a kernel that I found in a thread you posted in after searching. Clearly it wasn’t the same kernel Chad suggested earlier in this thread so thanks for linking it directly.

The BIOS is set to legacy and the PXE menu does boot thankfully. After checking fog compatibility it returns HDD: Pass, Network: Fail. I’m going to try the core kernel Tom posted and see if that makes any difference.

EDIT
Tried the core kernel, no difference, same error unfortunately.

I’m actually on 0.32.

No luck with Tom’s kernel unfortunately…

Thanks!

I found Tom’s custom kernel so I’ll give that a shot. If it doesn’t work I’ll report back with needed specs.

Hello!

I’m brand new to these forums but I’ve been lurking for some time to figure out issues every once in a while and I’ve found this forum to be a valuable resource.

My issue is that I have a few Toshiba Satellite C855-S5346 laptops that boot to FOG but hang before the kernel finishes loading. These are fairly new Windows 8 laptops but they clearly aren’t optimized for an enterprise environment. I’ve tried multiple kernels with no luck still and Administration over here is getting a bit impatient…

Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as a Kernel that may work? I’m not very good with Linux so I wouldn’t even know where to begin to create a custom Kernel but if there are any resources available as far as How-To’s I wouldn’t be against trying.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.
