  @robertkwild i have refind issues (causes a kernel panic, and my automation requires refind to work) with 1.5.10 that i haven’t been able to work around - i’m still sadly on 1.5.9 until i can get it figured out. That’s probably going to be my next forum post after hopefully getting this issue sorted.

  i’m glad to see that i’m not the only one having this problem though…

  @Nyeine I’ve got an Orin Nano at home and an AGX at work. I’m not sure you can image them with FOG. TBH I have never tried, so it would be interesting to find out.

  One comment before I get too deep into this, if you use for your dhcp server either WIndows 2016 or later or linux as your dhcp server, you can setup profiles with your dhcp server to automatically send the right ipxe boot loader based on the pxe booting computer. You won’t need to mess with the ipxe.efi files like you have. You can surely continue to do it that way, I just wanted to let you know there might be an easier way to go about it.

  So you are able to pxe boot into the iPXE boot loader, as soon as you pick a menu option that is where the wheels come off, so to say. Looking at the screen shot the process is failing at the handoff between ipxe and FOS Linux (arm_Image+arm_init). Its hard to tell if its ipxe or fos linux at fault.

  I have a process to create a debug usb image for x64, but I haven’t tried to create one for arm. In theory if you have a working Jetson Orin running ubuntu you should be able to follow this to create a FOS linux usb boot image: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7727/building-usb-booting-fos-image In your case you don’t want to use bzImage and init.xy but use the arm_Imag… (to replace bzImage) and arm_init (to replace init.xz). The idea here is to see if you can select register from the grub menu to get FOS Linux to boot on the jetson nx. If it can then the issue is with ipxe. If it doesn’t hopefully you can debug with the usb boot image.

  You may need to build a custom linux kernel for the Jetson. Just for reference https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r36.3/DeveloperGuide/SD/Kernel/KernelCustomization.html

  @ReinierG said in W10 Error when capturing image (ACPI Bios Error):

  Hey,

  I’m trying to capture an image on a Surface Go 2. The process starts off well, but when it reaches 6.79%, the speed drops significantly, and I encounter the following error message:

  ACPI BIOS Error (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\Tz.TZ00], ZE_NOT_FOUND (20230628/psargs-332) ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PC10.LPCB.ECO._Q14 due to previous error (AE_NOT_FOUND) (20230628/psargs-529)

  What can I try to fix this issue? The machine hasn’t been sysprepped, but I also haven’t fully installed the OS yet, so that shouldn’t be necessary. The current installation is at the keyboard/language selection screen. Also stopping and resending the task did not fix this issue.

  Thanks in advance!

  I tried capturing the image on an HP ProBook G7, and it worked fine. Online, I found some information suggesting that this error might be related to a firmware issue. Could that be the case?

  I’ve been having issues with the client on my ubuntu vm’s. Once I image the VM and several minutes go by it will start wanting to reboot. The first time it does it changes the hostname succesfully. The log shows it’s looking for 2 locations to change the hostname (unsuccesfull)… So I created them to see if it would make a difference. The log shows it finds them now and succesfully completes the hostname change in those. It still reboots.
  If I am logged in I will receive a prompt in which I can delay if i choose, If I am logged out it will just reboot.
  I don’t have any snapins or plugins. I’m using minimal services… pretty much just changing the hostname.
  Anything I can do to make this stop?? Every time I image a new client machine. The original machine doesn’t have this issue.
  Here’s a copy of the log…

  @george1421 Hi,

  Thanks for your reply. Its strange. I am working with (almost exclusively) early 2012 hardware. My older Imacs 2009-2011 afaict pxe boot fine image with FOG w/o issue. The problem comes along when, I try to image our macbooks. They display different levels of progress before they flat out hang. I had one mbpx,y I’m almost sure it was a 3rd gen intel just can’t find it right now. I may be being processed to go out the door to our clients.

  Yes the 2019 verison of ipxe was executed from a boot of clonezill 3.1.x the version I would attempt to boot from ventory stick or from an imaged usb stick would display an error regarding not having efi capability and/or hang or return to the ventoy menu. If I just let them be long enough the MBP would just restart.

  So I did attempted to roll my own and ran into the same problem with the oobox downloadable iso/zip file. Hang… I am researching w/o much success with how clonezilla compiled their ipxe menu entry or how to just plain add efi capability to ipxe.iso/zip and burn it to a usb stick. I just am not knowledable enough to formulate a good question or find what I am looking for (cause I don’t know:))

  So thanks again for your reply. I have a large donations of older MBP’s coming just before the holidays and I would lik to be able to make it rain.

  Regards,

  Hello

  I’m new on the FOG Forum and hope someone had or has the same problem as me.

  I’m currently running a FOG Server on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.5 Virtual Machine.
  I successfully snapshot and stored a VM “baseOS” from Windows 11 and Linux Mint (the second for testing purposes).

  I want now to deploy one of these images on a physical computer to check if i did well.

  So i created a task from the FOG WebGUI and when booting after a while this error is displayed :
  Error_Upload.jpeg

  I tried several things like disabling (temporaly) the Linux firewall, checked NFS issue, the TFTP troubleshoot guide. I also tried to create empty VM and boot on PXE.
  Got everytime the same issue !

  I surely checked if there was something at /bin/fog.download but nothing and my /opt/fog/log/fogreplicator.log isn’t that very explicit.

  I remain available for additionals details if needed !
  Best Regards,
  Pingu
