      @Psycholiquid Thanks again for testing and sorry for my late reply. Somehow this doesn’t really add up but it seems like tiny changes in the (EFI) timer code break iPXE for the surfaces.

      There are another couple of binaries to test (same download link). Though I am a bit in a hurry and those were compiled on a different machine that I usually do this. So hope I still got it all right. Please test and report back again in the same manner.

      @Tom-Elliott Seems like after a long fight we can finally get rid of those 7156 binaries. Turns out the issue was fixed in iPXE without us even properly reporting it. If you’re fine with removing those binaries just let me know or go for it yourself. Sure some people are used to having those and need to change their DHCP config again but I think it’s worth getting rid of this old crap altogether now!

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

        I will test those after lunch, no rush on the replies. Been here for years not going anywhere.

          @sebastian-roth I’m fine with it, I don’t have access to my servers until much later though, so if you don’t mind removing them I’m okay with it too. Thanks.

          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! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

              So the newer ipxe commits are working again?

              I’ve been having issues with the official Surface 4 docking stations on 7156. They boot to the FOG menu just fine, but I can’t inventory or deploy with them. They get stuck at the stage where I normally unplug the USB NIC, but it doesn’t fix it for the docks.

                This is all testing I will not comment on whether they are “working” or not. We are only testing up to the init.xz to make sure it gets past it

                  @avaryan I can say my 7156 is still working just fine with my Startec USB nic. and I am fully firmware updated on my surface.

                    @Developers @Moderators Ok, I just opened a pull request to remove the 7156 binaries. Please all keep that in mind. Might cause some minor confusion in the next weeks. But it’s good to get rid of it.

                    As you all can see the tests of the most recent iPXE version shows that things are back to normal again. I reported back to Michael Brown on the iPXE devel mailing list. So he’s got that in mind as well.

                    @Avaryan To me this sounds like a different issue. Would you mind opening a new thread on this and posting more details (FOG version, USB ID of the NIC used as shown with lsusb, …).

                    I’ll mark this solved/closed now. @Psycholiquid Thanks heaps for the great work on testing all the binaries and such!
