Several problems with Surface Pro 4

@Quazz Will do it tomorrow, right now the Surface is getting imaged, and it takes a bit long (old USB HUB)

@jhuesser said:

Should i execute dmesg on a ubuntu bootet on the SP4 or in the FOS Engine?

Both will give us some good information although I think that running those on the FOG system would give us a better idea what works and what not.

@Tom-Elliott
Not sure if you got the keyboard issue figured out or what drivers / patches you added, but I have successfully used this in the past for SP4

@jdd49 I’ve saved this on my bookmarks list and updated the kernels to have the reflected patch changes within the current 4.7.1 kernels.

Thanks for posting.

This is the output of the dmesgcommand, once in Ubuntu on the SP4 and once in FOS.

(I wanted to upload it here, Got an error “You have not enough privileges”)

Just a small update:

In my solution post i wrote, that I’ve used intel7156.efi as bootfile. Just tried to image again and iPXE couldn’t get a DHCP address. So now I used ipxe7156.efi and it seems to work fine.

[Sebastian Roth]

@jhuesser Just note that the xxx7156.* binaries will be gone in the next release as iPXE project has fixed the issue and we decided to remove those binaries. So you need to change your DHCP server to serve ipxe.efi when the next FOG version is released and you want to upgrade.

[Quazz]

@sebastian-roth Probably a good idea to include that in the announcement when it comes.

[jhuesser]

@sebastian-roth Thank you, will keep that in mind.

@sebastian-roth rc12? the fun fact, i spoke today with a collegue because he asked me why i serve 7156.*

@x23piracy Missing since RC10 - see here: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/tree/1.5.0-RC-10/packages/tftp

@Tom-Elliott We should definitely put up a big note for the final 1.5 release.
