I can now get FOG to boot to the unit without the video going crazy, I was even able to (as far as I know) pull an image from it. However, it does not want to push the image, freezing up about a third of the way through. I noticed that using this custom image, the other Acer’s (Veriton N281G/N282G) did the same thing while trying to have an image deployed to them.

I seem to recall a similiar problem regarding the network pull/push with the N281G/N282G when initially trying FOG, however updating the kernel to 3.3.3 fixed this. So obviously there’s a trigger in the 3.3.3 kernel that may fix the problem with the Veriton 2620.

This is a bit urgent as the people above me are basically looking to me to get this work, and the previous machines we used (Veriton N281G) are going End-of-Life…

EDIT:

Essentially what I am asking for is this:

[CODE]Kernel - 3.3.3 Core
FOG ID: 1049
Date: April 27, 2012
Version: 3.3.3
FOG Type: Core[/CODE]

with this trigger mentioned below:

Thank you for all of your help!

Sorry, no. Ended up abandoning the thin client in favor of tablets and Linux-based nettops.

Well, one problem appears out of the way.

I’ve successfully pulled an image from the device – Acer’s default Linux OS, “Linpus”.

I’m trying to deploy an image, Peppermint 3 with an 8GB partition. This image has deployed before on a different machine as well as VM’s. When I try to deploy it to the Acer VN2620G, I get to 28% before it freezes.

OK, mess up on my part. I reread Art’s post. It appears to be working now.

Thank You.

When I do:
[CODE]lsmod[/CODE]
under the video result is:
[CODE]video 9463 1 i915[/CODE]
I’m guessing that in the kernel config this would be included in the intel 8xx/9xx line.
One interesting notion, when I tried to compile the kernel the first time (using the kitchensink.config), the resulting bzimage was about 6MB less than the “official” 3.6.9 Core.

So far, trying what Art Mendoza suggested hasn’t helped. But maybe I didn’t do it right… Back to the drawing board.

What are the G++ tools I need?

This is the kernel “bzimage” from the update kernel page, yes? Or is that something else?

Can I grab the kernel from the fog machine itself? Where do I get it from?

To be honest, I don’t quite understand it. Do I mod the FOG kernel to do that?
