@sgtrice If your 7080 firmware/bios disk controller is in raid-on mode, you need to switch to ahci mode. Intel has not (even after 6 years) release the raid controller driver to the linux community. If you have only one drive and not using raid you can leave the disk mode as ahci with no loss of performance.

@thanhpn7188 I think it’s good you posted this in a new topic because it sounds like you have an issue with this hardware and we might try to help you to make it work. The other topic you posted is about hardware that does work fine with FOG.

Hint: I also renamed this topic to reflect what this seems to be about.

Now to the issue: FOG doesn’t see the disk? Often this is caused by BIOS/UEFI setting for the disk controller is RAID instead of AHCI. Be aware that this change will influence the Windows OS if it’s installed already.

@novaholic Hi,
I am facing with the same problem.
Have you managed to fix it?

Thanks

Hey I Just found a solution to this… when making the DHCP policy the snponly.efi file seemed to work (instead of ipxe.efi)… Hope this helps

@Eruthon Thanks for the quick feedback. Should be all fine now I think. No need to post partition files as long as it works for you now.

Another Lenovo device that seems to hang with that message as well: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15463/lenovo-81cy-stuck-on-efi-stub

@sebastian-roth we may have found a workaround since we have a uefi/bios co-existence setup, we are trying to legacy boot to capture/deploy the uefi image. It appears to have worked. I am not sure I want to pursue this issue further since it is a very old model and a one off case.

I appreciate your help on the matter regardless, thank you.

@adamhyla89 said in 11th Gen Intel Kernel:

it states cannot open ` /var/www/fog/service/bzImage’ (no such file or directory)

Better copy & paste the commands to not miss anything. So again: file /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage* /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage*

The install on the VM is only command line, no GUI for Ubuntu.

There is no GUI (for Ubuntu) needed as you can access the FOG web UI from another computer. I guess you have used it already because how would you manage FOG or even get past the schema update when you don’t access the FOG web UI.

@sebastian-roth Many thanks Sebastian, I will do that.

@totalimpact See if you can get a good image capture with 11. I’m not saying this is the problem, but the higher the compression with zstd the more memory it requires because it needs to hold larger chunks of the image in ram memory.

The other option it could be is that we need to increase the amount of virtual hard drive space for FOS linux. But first lets see if lowering the compression ratio will help.

@sebastian-roth You correct, I just used the file of that new kernel and it worked.

@george1421

For those wondering who came across this thread like me: If you are using the built in DHCP server in ubuntu fog you need to edit the dhcp.conf file by opening a terminal and typing: sudo nano /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and replacing “ipxe.efi” with “snponly.efi”. Worked fine with the M75s after making those changes.

@dmaret I have done some more reading on topics that show the same error messages (1, 2) and the more I read the more I can imagine the messages from the Realtek driver not to be the cause of the problem but maybe just one of the symptoms of a kernel issue (even a soft crash) just before that.

Do you have more than one of these Lenovo ThinkCentre M70a? Have you tried deploying to different ones? Do all show the same issue? Just trying to rule out this is not a hardware issue on one of the machines.

I am not too sure how to take this further. We don’t see other error messages on screen. Does the partclone screen seem to freeze completely after the error messages come up?

Maybe you can schedule a debug deploy task, boot up the machine, set a root password (command passwd), check the IP address (ip a s) and connect to it via SSH. Now you have two command shells to go ahead. Start the deployment (command fog) on the machine directly and step through it. Meanwhile also issue a command on the SSH shell just to see it’s still up and running. Especially when the blue partclone screen starts you want to stick around in the SSH shell to see if that freezes at some point - e.g. just type random characters to see if they appear on screen or stop at some point.

If partclone stops but your SSH shell still works, then run dmesg | tail -20, take a picture and post that here.

@george1421

Sorry for the late reply,1) and 2) are both correct recompiled ipxe.efi works fine

@greg-plamondon yes.

@detoss Looking back at your original post you mentioned it doesn’t compress the drive. If you watch the blue partclone screen its probably capturing in RAW mode. It will do that if you have bitlocker or any drive encryption system enabled. Since it can’t read the files it just does a RAW sector copy of the disk.

@george1421 here’s where I’m at now.
Laptop: Dell Latitude 7490
FOG: 1.5.8
I was able to change the settings in the BIOS on the client machine allowing the FOG to recognize the clients and registering. I was able to successfully re-image 1 machine. (yay!) Now I have had 3 machines give me an (same) error (unable to locate image store (/bin/fog.download)) in the deploying image process. Any thoughts on what’s causing this? I’ve read everything that looked remotely close to the same issue with no luck. FOG_unable to locate image store.jpg

@tom-elliott

This solution worked for us,

And juste for the information, we also had to disable bitlocker, but we saw that information in another thread , in a command prompt , as admin " manage-bde -off C : "

Thank you !

Thank you everyone. I tried again and I was able to successfully register that computer. I did re-try adding the 32bit and 64bit Kernels via the web gui and when I run the above commands on the server I get a return showing the 5.10.12 kernel.

root@fogsrvr:~# file /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage*
/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage: Linux kernel x86 boot ex ecutable bzImage, version 5.10.12 (buildkite-agent@Tollana)…

root@fogsrvr:~# file /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage*
/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 5.10.12 (buildkite-agent@Tollana) …

So again thank you for your help.

@sebastian-roth Well yes I see that now. It just felt like a familiar problem from whenever I change kernels. Should have just restarted and tried again before assuming something was broken though.
