Jobos Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 I've got a 32 laptops to image using my trusty Fog server but the laptops don't like the kernel. I download the latest kernel which is 3.19.3 TomElliottUSB and changed Fog under Other Information / Fog Settings / FOG_TFTP_PXE_KERNEL to point to the new kernel but on booting the laptop again it still shows it is loading bzImage. Is there other setting I need to change? I haven't got the laptops listed yet so I can't see it under host management. Thanks.
3s-gtech Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 I never found that I had to do anything other than click on the download button within FOG to change the kernel.
Jobos Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 I never found that I had to do anything other than click on the download button within FOG to change the kernel. Yes I expected to just download a new kernel then I found the options in fog setting but after changing those it still didn't work. This link helped https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/1951-change-the-kernel-that-fog-clients-use-for-pxe-boot and changing the 'default' file within pxelinux.cfg did the trick.
bladedanny Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 I either rename it BzImage or if only for certain devices change it in the host settings. It also has to be fog/kernel/KERNEL_NAME I think.
