[quote=“Junkhacker, post: 30068, member: 21583”]so far, every other version of Ubuntu seems to be better then 14.04 with FOG
I recommend a new install, not an upgrade.

Thanks for the quick reply and pointing me to the right resource!
Hi all! now that its summer break I’m going to be updating to the new version of FOG. I have a few questions i cant seem to find clear answer for.
Currently i am running fog .32 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
should i upgrade Ubuntu 10.04 to 14.04 LTS then update FOG to version 1.1
Or should I update FOG to 1.1 then upgrade Ubuntu OS to 14.04LTS?
Is there a version of Ubuntu other then 14.04LTS that works best with FOG 1.1?
Lastly i wanted to ask if i should upgrade my Ubuntu installation all the way from 10.04 to 14.04 ( using the update application) or if i will need to do a clean Ubuntu 14.04 install
Thanks every one!
Hi,
I am just trying to find out if the new version of FOG will work with other installs of linux like Fedora.
Or does it currently only support ubuntu?
Im running FOG .32 on ubuntu 10.04 and plan to upgrade to version 1.01 do i first need to update my ubuntu install to 14.04 then install the new version of fog?
Thanks!

[SIZE=4]I also wanted to ask if the [FONT=arial]500GB (5.400Rpm) Solid State Hybrid Drive with 8GB Flash (400-ABCY) that we have ordered in our E5440 Laptops could be the cause of why its not working for us but is for others?[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][FONT=arial]For [/FONT][FONT=arial]anyone[/FONT][FONT=arial] who has this kernel working with your Dell E5440 laptops what kind of hard drives have you been using with them?[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=4][FONT=arial]Thanks for the feedback.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[quote=“kelly.bettendorf, post: 24949, member: 5100”]Tom,
All my settings are as you listed above, is it possible that a chainloader im useing could be causing the panic? I have some dell systems that boot loop when they hit fog so i use the chainloader to append HD 0 during host startup.
Im thinking my next steps will be to test PXE booting with a different E5440 to eliminate any possible issues with the new laptop.
Don’t think it will make a difference but this morning i restarted the server.
Thanks again for helping out with this but it might be a few days until i get a chance to work with the E5440 laptops as soon as i can i will let you know if its working or not.
Let me know if you have any more brilliant ideas.[/quote]

There are a few things.
First, try removing the kernel parameter that was set on the host within the GUI.
Second, make sure the GUI is pointing to the right file:
Other Information->FOG Settings->
FOG_TFTP_PXE_CONFIG_DIR should be set as: /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL_DIR should be set as: /tftpboot/fog/kernel/
FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL should be set as: fog/kernel/bzImage
My guess is your FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL lines are pointing at another kernel. I think this because it seems, to me, that Sivasubramaniam.T has tested this kernel and it worked on the E5440. Why it wouldn’t on yours doesn’t seem to make sense unless something is misconfigured.[/quote]

Im also running ubuntu version 11.04
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24923, member: 7271”]Right![/quote]
Yes i still get Kernel Panic
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24920, member: 7271”]Have you tried booting with this?[/quote]
Im not sure i understand your question. Booting up the E5440 laptop?
[quote=“kelly.bettendorf, post: 24916, member: 5100”]Thanks for all your hard work on this Tom I will give it a go.[/quote]
Okay so i followed your instructions line for line
[FONT=Consolas]cd /tftpboot/fog/kernel[/FONT]
[FONT=Consolas]mv bzImage bzImage.orig.2014APR01
wget -O bzImage --no-check-certificate [url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage32[/url][/FONT]
[FONT=Consolas] [/FONT]
[FONT=Consolas]But i think i might have an idea why this is not working. When i navigate to the Kernel in GUI under properties of the kernel it shows
Type: Dos/Windows Executable
Im not sure why since im downloading the file right from Terminal [/FONT]
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24915, member: 7271”]kelly,
As I just added the reading ability of the “kernel” argument on the host level in 0.33b, I’m not sure this actually worked on 0.32.
I’d try doing the methods I recommended above, just create a backup of your bzImage first.[/quote]
Thanks for all your hard work on this Tom I will give it a go.
[quote=“kelly.bettendorf, post: 24905, member: 5100”]O gosh… your right let me go try that again and i will let you know, I can’t believe i did that! Thanks again.[/quote]
Now when i try to run an upload i get
Kernel panic - not syncing
Kernel Offset: 0X0 From 0xc1000000
The Kernel Offset part is new.
[quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 24894, member: 7271”]You have two different names.
The First, you saved the file as E5440bzImage32 according to this post. Then you placed the file in /tftpboot/fog/kernel/E5440bzImage32?
If so, the Host Kernel line is set incorrectly:
You said you set the Host kernel line to look at:
fog/kernel/E5440bzImage
There isn’t a 32 at the end of it so this could be your problem, does this file even exist? My guess is it’s defaulting to the bzImage file which is currently set, if my understanding is sound, as a 64 bit kernel, which should be panicking.[/quote]
O gosh… your right let me go try that again and i will let you know, I can’t believe i did that! Thanks again.
Hi Jaymes and Tom, I have tried running the above command and still get Kernel Panic when trying to uploading an image.
Thanks Tom,
I will give it a try and let you know i appreciate your help on this.
I actually used my Mac to navigate to h[I][FONT=Consolas]ttps://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/kernel/bzImage32
Then I just put in on a flash drive renamed the file to E5440bzImage32 and moved the file to [/FONT][/I]/tftpboot/fog/kernel/
[SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][I]Under the GUI on the [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Consolas][I]registered[/I][/FONT][SIZE=2][FONT=Consolas][I] host i set the [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#333333]Host Kernel: to [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#333333]fog/kernel/E5440bzImage[/COLOR][/FONT]
Im still getting a Kernel panic using bzimage32 file you provided. Any idea what could be the cause?
I did update the bios to the newest version still no change.
This model of laptop has a hybrid drive could that be the cause of this?
Thanks.
Thanks i will give it a try and let you know how it goes.
Hi,
Im looking for a kernel that will work with the E5440 laptop, when trying to upload an image i get a kernel panic error.
Thanks
some more information,
Im trying to see if i can get print management working since our admin who handles GPO’s is out of town and the GPO’s are currently broken.
Thanks.
