Spencer,

Open terminal (assuming default installation)
type
[code]
cd /tftpboot/fog/kernel/
[/code]

Do a directory listing “ls” you should see “bzImage”

you want to rename that or make a folder called backup and put it in there
[code]
mv bzImage bzImage_backup
[/code]

May need to use sudo mv bzImage bzImage_backup

Now use wget and download the new kernel

[code]
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/Kernels/Kernel-3.2.4.core/Kernel-3.2.4.core/download
[/code]

Again you might need “sudo” in front of wget. If that doesn’t work you might have to download it manually from [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeghost/files/Kernels/Kernel-3.2.4.core/[/url]

if it did work using “ls” should now list Kernel-3.2.4.core in the folder we need to rename it bzImage

[code]
mv Kernel-3.2.4.core bzImage
[/code]

Again may need sudo.

Try booting a client device now.

If it fails you can undo what we did by doing this

[code]
mv bzImage bzImage_failed
mv bzImage_backup bzImage
[/code]

Well I downloaded Acronis Backup & Recovery Workstation 11, made Linux based boot media and that CD worked with the Acer 722…because I am facing a deadline looks like I will have to purchase that…

However, I notices its on a 2.6 kernel, but it was appened with -acronis so I am sure they heavily modded it, anyone know if I can extract that kernel and use it with FOG?

I think is had to do with the small partition windows 7 creates on the drive, thus it is not a single partition (I recall somewhere seeing it posted that it worked with that). However, I always use the multi-part myself with all my windows 7 images (I have 5 12Gb+ images) and don’t have an issue. I am still doing the cave man I image per hardware type though.

IDE didn’t change anything with the hard drive not being recognized.

During the loading of the image, there is an error for atl1c…
[code]
atl1c 0000:06:00.0: Unable to allocate MSI interrupt Error: -1
[/code]

The occurs as the first and last error, the others are all USB or HUB errors.

Just an update 3.3 had the same exact issue. I have seen numerous posts about the Alt1c drivers being patched into the kernel around 2009, so not sure why the NIC is not being recognized.

Should I try IDE instead of AHCI for the hard drive mode in the BIOS?

Hi,
I am having some issues with new netbooks I got. Acer Aspire One 722’s with the AMD C-60 APU and an Atheros AR8152/8158 NIC.

Running fog 0.32 has been great, and I downloaded the latest Kernel from the fog site to no luck. The most current Kernel will have a few errors when I pick anything that uses the bzImage (as normal) and then I get a “snowy” screen. That would make me guess VGA driver load issue.

So I followed [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Building_a_Custom_Kernel[/url] w/ Ubuntu steps and downloaded 3.2.12. I then tried booting, I was able to actually get to into the hardware compatibility test. So that resolved the “snowy” screen issue. However, when I run it, now the NIC (how the heck did it PXE! and bzImage) and Hard Drive aren’t recognized.

From windows I have the following driver details:
NIC: Atheros AR8152/8152 PCI-E FEC (NDIS 6.0) [I wrote NDIS 6.2, but that seems wrong]
Hard Drive: Western Digital
Controller: Standard AHCI 1.0 SATA

So, that hardware seems common, so now I am trying 3.3 and hope that works…but was wondering if anyone could offer some help or insight on how to get this working. It seems like I need to add drivers into the kernel. Or perhaps a difference of the two would shed light on what has changed. I don’t know if 3.2.4 > 3.2.12 vary that much and hopefully 3.3 resolves this…
