SOLVED!

Just for reference for other peeps:

The devs have made updating (or downgrading) the kernel super easy. Instructions on how to is found on the wiki [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_FOG#FOG_Client_Kernel’]here[/URL].

Thanks again to the awesome devs and community!

AHA! Thank you for the clarification on that, eveything makes a lot more sense now! :rolleyes:

[FONT=Tahoma]You mentioned you changed the kernel to an older version and got the imaging to work. What version was the kernel and can you give a link on how to change the kernel? Anyone else ever find a kernel to work with the Dells and the AMD Video Cards? [/FONT]

I would also really appreciate a response to this! Thanks

Even more reading, shows that 12.04 does not play ball with FOG. Some people are reporting that Ubuntu Server 10.04 seems to contain a compatible kernel and also some packages that make FOG happy.

Before I go and wype my new server ( ) and install 10.04, would someone please confirm I’m going in the right direction?

Thanks again.

First post, yay!

Hello folks, this week I installed a new server running FOG. I already have a FOG server which I have been using for years running .27, but I bought new drives to upgrade to a better server.

This time, as soon as I boot from FOG on the same machines I have been imaging for the last two years with FOG, I get:

[CODE]failed to execute the /sbin/v86d
make sure that the v86d helper is installed and executable
getting VBE info block failed
vbe_init() failed with -22[/CODE]

After doing a lot of reading and googlin’, it seems like the newest kernel running on Ubuntu (3.2.0) is not supported by FOG?

My old FOG server is running kernel 2.26.6. So, my question is, is the only way to fix this really to install an older kernel?

I want to make sure of this, because if it’s true, no one knows what I will break rolling the kernel so far back, and I have never done it before… so I will have to do A LOT of reading to do so.

Thanks
