      @bedcruncher said in Registration Issues with Dell Precision 7720 and M.2 Sata:

      RAID bus controller [0104]: Intel Corporation SATA Controller [RAID mode] [8086:2822] (rev 31)

      Well this is a good sign the rest are bad news. But lets work with this.

      Is this a uefi system? I see that raid is enabled on this sata controller. If uefi = yes take the system out of raid mode and hopefully the lsblk command will show us the block devices. When you switch out of raid mode the line I commented above will change from [raid mode] to something else.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

        Can you confirm of this has a kaby lake chipset or sky lake?

        @Developers it looks like the release date on the 7720 was in May 2017.

          I am thinking it has the skylake chipset at least from the line

            @bedcruncher Sweet. lsblk now sees the nvme disk.

            The skylake kabylake was an after thought as I was looking up the specs on the 7720.

            Now that lsblk can see the disk give it a shot again with imaging.

              It’s now uploading an image, but to make this more straightforward without having to make the bios changes every time. I will have to probably rebuild the base image without the Intel Raid mode turned on just to prevent it messing with the OS.

                @bedcruncher It should image ok without raid mode enabled.

                We use a boot usb flash drive to install a consistent bios in a winpe environment. During image we use cctk in the winpe environment to adjust the bios settings. This way we have a consistent configuration when the device leaves our buildup area.

                let me check on something…

                  Can you provide me a link explaining a bit more about that?
                  Both the boot usb, and cctk?

                    There is… (said with a zest of a 5 year old girl)

                    http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/7532.dell-command-configure

                    cctk for linux. So in theory we could use a FOG custom task to configure the bios. But then we would need to reboot after the configuration for the firmware to reconfigure for the new settings… that may add more complications then fix. But it IS interesting for post imaging ensuring that the bios settings are right.

                      Sorry I had to go to a meeting.

                      If you are using the dell cctk kit with windows or in a winpe boot drive you can issue a command like this cctk.exe bootorder --enabledevice=hdd,embnic,usbdev --disabledevice=floppy,cdrom to modify the boot order or change other things in the bios. I think we can do the same thing in fog using the linux version and a post install script. It won’t address your issue (that has to be done before FOS boots) but it could provide some interesting options.

                        Yeah… I understand the whole meeting thing. Sucks to start working on something and constantly get pulled away on other less interesting things.

                        I’ll look at that article and see what I can do to integrate it into my processes.

                        Will report back when I have more information to share.
