[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 45274, member: 7271”]OH, and to further answer the post, Having an updated kernel should not hurt any of the other hosts you have either. It’s just a kernel, nothing more.[/quote]
Yes, on My summer list is to move both of my 0.32 servers up to the latest.
Thanks for the help everyone.
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 45267, member: 7271”]The location should be
[code]file /tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage[/code][/quote]
DOH! Now I understand.
Result:
/tftpboot/fog/kernel/bzImage: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 3.19.1 (root@debian64) #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 10 18:46:02 EDT 2, RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x6, Normal VGA
So, the Kernel Updates within the Fog server only go up to 3.14,… So What I have now is that latest? 3.19.1 ?
thanks

[quote=“Uncle Frank, post: 45263, member: 28116”]Run this command to see what kernel version a particular bzImage is:
[CODE]file /path/to/bzImage[/CODE][/quote]
Tried:
/tftpboot/fog/kernel$ file /path/to/bzImage
Returned:
/path/to/bzImage: ERROR: cannot open `/path/to/bzImage’ (No such file or directory)
Do I need to be in another directory? OR did I mis-interpret the command?

I’m trying to Register a Optiplex 3030 AIO which is not on the compatibility list yet. I get to the FOG Menu and I do a full registration. It quickly fails which appears to CHuck to be a KERNEL PANIC.
I’m using a 0.32 FOG on UBUNTU 12.04 LTS 32 bit.
Now, I’ve never over the years needed to change kernels, so I was treading lightly. I went to KERNEL UPDATES and picked ver 3.14.2- 32 bit. I figured the latest is the best choice?? I renamed it bzImage3030 and then I went to SERVER Settings/ TFTP Server / FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL and changed the path to fog/kernel/bzImage3030.
Doing this allowed that new kernel to be used, but it still failed. I then saw Tom Elliott’s tag line in an earlier thread.
I followed the suggestion:
[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000][SIZE=2][FONT=sans-serif][B]FOG 0.32 or earlier.[/B][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000][SIZE=1][FONT=sans-serif]Code:[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=1][FONT=monospace]THe last line (chown) did not work, BUT I am now able to register the Optiplex3030 and pushed an image out to it! YEAH[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][SIZE=1][FONT=monospace]My question is what kernel did I pick up?? I’m worry a bit on how it will affect my existing clients. CAn anyone shed some light on this?[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

Tom,
Changing the Boot Exit Type settings to GRUB worked Great!. Also, your new layout for Fog Settings is a great improvement, thanks to who ever worked on that part.

I am also getting a VERY similar Boot Loop. Brand new Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Box with Fog 1.1.1. I’ pulled a multi-part image of a Win7 Dell Latitude E6410 notebook. After pushing the image back to the notebook I get a similar loop, I get the DHCP successfully, I actually get to the Fog Menu (Mine went much quicker than the Youtube vid) Once the Fog Menu times out in 3 seconds it is suppose to boot from Hard Drive, but instead I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner, for tens seconds, then it reboots.
Temporary solution is to Go into BIOS and take NIC out of Boot sequence, then it boots to hard drive and WIN7 works fine. Maybe this second data point can help TOm converge on a solution. I’m thinking it is a BIOS setting that needs tweaked.
This is great news! It’s good to know FOG is still being developed. I just posted your news about the RC on Tech-Geeks.
I definitely want to get a new FOG server up in a sandbox. When it comes to fiddling with Linux commands, I consider myself a noob, but once I get the formula spelled out to me I can take it from there. I see Tom’s notes below (yes, I read the wiki!). I’ll will try them out soon. I plan to start with a clean Ubuntu 12.04 box. Thanks Chuck, and Team.
