@michaeloberg said in HP Probook 430 G8 System MAC not passing through USB Type-C Dongle:
iPXE is showing the MAC of the System as indicated in the BIOS:
Ok, I think this picture is key here. Seems like the UEFI settings tell us the 6C-… MAC address is what it calls the “System Address”. Whatever that is.
@michaeloberg I just had a weird idea. Any chance there is another NIC in that probook? Maybe WLAN? Possibly the MAC we see in iPXE is from a totally different adapter.
To me it doesn’t make sense that Windows/Linux and all higher layer OSs see the USB dongle MAC but iPXE would see the pass-through MAC from the probook itself. Not impossible but I’d find it strange.
@jyost said in Unable to Image a Lenovo E14 Gen2 (Type 20TA/20TB):
I suspect that the Realtek NIC drivers for this particular model/variant are not included in the Kernel.
This is not where the (Linux) kernel is playing a role yet. It’s the iPXE boot loader that doesn’t wanna play nicely with the Lenovo E14 Gen2 NIC.
Which version of FOG and the iPXE loader do you use? Please take a picture of the screen and post that here or send us the iPXE version header string (starting with a g).
Is this machine booting in legacy BIOS of UEFI mode?
@Zaqen Will answer your question here in a bit but for now it’s easier for me to just compile this test kernel for you…
@zaqen said in HP 405 G6 deploy error:
i just copy it in /tftpboot/fog/kernel/
No that directory doesn’t exist as far as I know. Kernels on FOG servers go into /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/. I suggest you leave the filename including the version number so not ot overwrite the existing kernel. Then edit the host entry for one of your HP 405 G6 test machines and set Host Kernel to bzImage-5.15.5. Schedule a deploy task for this host and PXE boot into it.

Ok i do i take pictures :
Well done! Unfortunately there is not much news to this.
Doing a little more research I found this: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/linux-support-drivers-for-hp-prodesk-405-g6-amd-pro-565-chipset-renoir-ryzen-4750ge-realtek-rtl8111fph-cg/54260/4
So I just compiled a 5.15.x kernel for you to see if that makes a difference: https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage-5.15.5 (64 bit kernel)
@zaqen said in HP 405 G6 deploy error:
after configure it on fog server to deploy it
Just before you click the “Create Task” button in the FOG web UI there is a checkbox for debug. Use that and start the machine up as usual. Eventually that should bring you to a command shell on the machine despite the error.
If you can’t get to a Linux command shell this way you can use a Live Linux boot CD/DVD/ISO, e.g. Clonezilla and bootup the machine with that to get to a command shell.
Run both commands there and post information here (picture):
lspci -nn | grep -i net
dmesg | grep -i -e eth -e firmware
@zaqen said in HP 405 G6 deploy error:
Restart fog server
No, we don’t need that information from the FOG server but from the HP 405 G6!
@mechalas Please run ls -al /var/www /var/www/html and post output here. Mind the spaces in the command mentioned.
@Zaqen Just ignore those messages you see with the tftp server. The “does no accept options” thing is not an issue and known (search the forums).
08:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semicondutor co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ehternet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 29)
Ok I was wrong with my PCI ID guess. The NIC in this system isn’t that new really. I guess we’re just missing some firmware.
I suppose you got the lspci output in a FOG debug session. Please boot up into it again and run the following command: dmesg | grep -i -e eth -e firmware (take a picture of the screen and post here)
