      @meatloaf4dayz I won’t have my allocation of 3530s (yes I really meant 3530 the core chips should be very similar) until towards the end of Q12019 so we are going to have to try to debug this issue remotely.

      I’m speculating that there is a bit of hardware sitting between the OS and the usb interface that is blocking communications. Do you have an older usb2 to ethernet adapter? The older the better. If you do, lets plug this in as a secondary network adapter with a second network cable into your switch. Schedule a debug capture. It may still complain about not having a network cable attached, but eventually it should drop you to a linux command prompt on the target computer. At the FOS linux prompt key in ip addr show It would be interesting to see the results.

      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!

        @meatloaf4dayz Firmware (UEFI) is upgraded to the very latest version?

        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)

              Update on this:

              Plugged in both types of adapters and they each pull different addresses but when waiting for interfaces come back up, Fog gets confused and displays the same error. I was able to find n Amazon-branded (Cable matters) usb3 to ethernet adapter and tried with that. Success.

              I’ve ordered USB-C to Ethernet from the same vendor, I’ll update this as soon as I get that one tested.

              With all of this said, I did build a custom kernel with the original USB-C adapter from Dell and that still didn’t want to work.

                    @UWPVIOLATOR Sorry, but I don’t have one of these myself. Just tried to help!

                      @Sebastian-Roth Is there anything I can do to test for you guys? Maybe setup a remote session for you guys to do your thing?

                        @UWPVIOLATOR Do you have the WD15 port replicators you can test with?

                            @UWPVIOLATOR Fair enough. The WD15 is Dell’s usb-c port replicator hub.

                            https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-business-dock-wd15-with-180w-adapter/apd/452-bddu

                            It has a built in network adapter that is uefi/pxe boot compliant.

                              @george1421 No but to be clear I have the 3530 which you mentioned in a post here. Do you want me to create a new post for it?

                                @UWPVIOLATOR Ok since you have a 3530 (I still don’t have my allocations yet) does it have a built in ethernet adapter, or do you have a usb-c/usb-a adapter that is uefi pxe boot compliant?

                                Are you running the latest release of FOG and its kernels?

                                  @george1421 It has a NIC but it does not allow Legacy Boot to internal HD. FOG images it but it wont boot to HD. We have not done anything to FOG to get it to be able to image UEFI.

                                    Can you check in the firmware to see if you need to change the boot order to the hard drive first??

                                      @george1421 For anyone following this post for Precision 3530.

                                      • It does have a internal NIC.
                                      • It does have Legacy Boot BUT NOT for Internal HD. Thus you must deploy a UEFI image to this model.
                                      • In my case I have only been using BIOS and I now need to create a new Golden Image for UEFI.

                                      Thank you all for the help

                                        One additional comment on this point. It is possible with FOG to PXE boot in bios mode and with FOG deploy a UEFI image with a computer running in BIOS mode (I do this on systems where pxe booting in UEFI mode is broken, but pxe booting in BIOS mode works OK). Just be aware that you can not boot a UEFI image on a computer running in BIOS mode.
