@Sebastian-Roth
Thank you

@fagner-patricio How is this network card attached to the computer? Is it built in or via some kind of usb adapter?

The lspci -nn command lists all of the pci attached hardware. Since nothing was returned I’m suspecting the network adapter is not being detected by the kernel or for some reason the network card doesn’t have net in the name.

I’m also suspicious since the searching messages for “firm” did not turn up any kernel messages saying the network adapter needed special “firmware drivers” loaded to configure the network adapter.

The above commands usually gives us a clue to what is wrong 99.9% of the time. So now I have to ask how is this network adapter attached, is it built in or via the usb interface?

@jeremyvdv The vendor classes bit in dhcp is only required when you need some hosts to boot with bios and others to boot with uefi. If everything uses uefi then you can just set option 66/67 on the server or scope options. Server options will apply to all dhcp scopes in one spot, but you can also apply it more modularing in dhcp scope options.

I would suggest trying ipxe.efi instead of snponly.efi and see if that makes a difference.

Hello, guys!

Today i captured my pc. My resuilts of speed: 240gb SSD WD GREEN was done for 5-10 minutes with speed ~12-13gb/min. For me it’s good resuilt, with acronis i’m clonning ~10-15 minutes.

But 2TB hdd tottaly made me wait… Used space of the disk like ~50% and writing image was 8 hours. Аverage speed 2.5gb/min. Who can say, it’s normal or i cant check for some hardware/software?

For my server specs: i3-9100f, 16gb ram, 240ssd for main sysstem + 2tb for store images. Main OS is win10, fog deployed in wm virtualbox + 2nd virtual disk was stored on 2tb hdd (likes container in container).

@mlcloud Have you made sure the filesystem is clean and in proper state before capturing? I have to admit that I would expect for partclone to bail out on capturing an unclean filesystem but you never know.

@DARUN974 said in FUJITSU ESPRIMO G6012 : no network interfaces found , your kernel is most proba:

Downloaded bzImage files from https://fogproject.org/kernels/ then copy to /var/www/fog/servçice/ipxe/

This used to be the kernel download URL but we switched over to Github more than a year ago: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases

While the old one still exists it is not updated anymore. See the readme.

@polar-bear said in Laptops without ethernet port:

I’ve taken simple approach of using USB NIC (Realtek 8152) with ipxe added to flash drive as EFI boot module.

That’s another solution to go. Though you are left with the issue of MAC addresses I suppose.

@madnm You are welcome.

@sonic136 All I can say is that we’ve seen early versions of uefi bios have poor snp uefi drivers. But if this mobo was created in the last 5-6 years it shouldn’t have an issue with snp because uefi firmware has matured quite a bit. Strange, but we’ve seen it happen on certain models.

@tbasura You mention multicasting. I have never used clonezilla in a multicast scenario and don’t know how it works. With FOG we use “udp-cast” for this. When you send out a multicast deploy and something goes wrong with the underlaying udp-cast then you’d see a hanging blue partclone screen (though still different as it would not get as far to show the numbers yet but hang with a very plain screen). So my first assumption on multicast playing a role here is probably wrong.

Drivers can’t be an issue either because that’s handled by the Linux kernel.

Will be interesting to see what FOG makes of it. I highly recommend you install the latest dev-branch version instead of the dated last release (1.5.9).

@piotr86pl
WoL works reliably here with r8169. To enable WoL on boot basically every network manager (systemd-integrated, netctl, etc.) offers a config option.
For systemd see here

The mentioned 13GB/min would be more than 200MB/s, exceeding the rate of a 1Gbps link. So this number may refer to a compressed image. More relevant would be iperf results for assessing network performance. r8168 and r8169 both can go at full link speed.

To check for issues specific to the Realtek network chip version on your system (r8169 supports ~ 50 chip versions) a full dmesg log would be helpful.

@TheDark5776 There seems to be a question missing. Posting this in the hardware compatibility section I would expect some hardware specs to discuss your issue.

@george1421 Fabulous, thanks so much, George.

@george1421 yes when i boot with usb 20.04 it work. Because Kernel is 5.15.X.

@george1421

Thanks George!

I had seen people talking about updating the kernel on here but I presumed they meant the FOG server kernel but now I realise that the FOG kernel is distinct from the kernel used by the FOG server. After updating the FOG kernel via the web UI FOG seems to be working on our new machines.

@george1421 I used TCPDUMP without telling which ports to listen (tcpdump -i enp12s0 -w output3-BIOS-hp.pcap), in 3 computers:

UEFI Computer #1 - file is “output1-UEFI-insys.pcap” - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lBxNv2bhjTtMhPEC2gd66tpzV3egZK5i/view?usp=sharing UEFI Computer #2 - file is “output1-UEFI-b560m.pcap” - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TgiQS15RrESjc3Q92euB7UWOMLPOxXFu/view?usp=sharing BIOS Computer #3 - file is “output1-BIOS-hp.pcap” - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gkz71TMr8XzJovDSOZqyvkcvtsjCz2I0/view?usp=sharing

I think in these files, you can see at DHCP information and finally can figure out how to help me. I really need this to be working. School starts next tuesday and I have a lot of computers to deploy images to.

@lobomarinho said in Dell Optiplex 5490, boot but o network interfaces found:

My Dell Optiplex 5490 detect server but then give me a error

BIOS file name is “undionly.kpxe”

Just reading between the lines here. What you have said are in conflict. I would think the optiplex 5490 is a uefi only system. The undionly.kpxe program is a bios only boot loader. You can’t boot undionly.kpxe on a uefi based computer.

Second part and more on point is. Do you get to the FOG iPXE menu? If no then you need to update iPXE. If yes, then update the FOG Linux kernel (FOG WebUi -> FOG Configuration -> Kernel update. Update to the 5.15.(latest) to get the newest hardware support. as @LLamaPie mentioned.

@djgalloway Thank you. Actually this thread helps advance the project too. The devs won’t add this driver to the main kernel but if they need to create a one off kernel the instructions are here.

@george1421 worked like a charm when switching to REFIND.
