      Hi There,

      Did you find a solution. We did buy several Dell optiplex 3010 systems and would like to image them as well. We can PXE boot but when we try to image the PC we recieve an error unknown (unsupported) BIOS version Dell Inc./OptiPlex 3010/A05 Aborting.

      I hope that someone did find a solution

      gr

      Henk

        Hey guys…I noticed that the 3010 has the same network card as the dell op 390. I was able to get the 390 to work, but only after enabling chainloading on the fog server. Here is a link to a fog wiki page that talks about this fix. I do not know if it fixes the 3010, but it did work on the 390.

          Hey,
          Tx for the reply. I have 18 Optiplex 390 as well and that works fine for me after making the changes.
          I had contact with my Dell account manager and at the end of Januari (I’m waiting until the construction of our new school building is finished) I will ask for a test system so then I will be able to confirm if it works.

          Greetings,
          Johan

            Johan. Yes, after the change the 390’s work. I am not sure about 3010, since I do not have any of the them to test out. However, since they look like they have the same network card, hopefully they will work.

              Hi,

              I just received a brand new Optiplex 3010 (Manufactured on 15/12/2012 with Bios A5 (bios date 18/09/2012)) of an other department and it looks like it works fine for me. I’m getting the “unsupported bios, please report” message but the imaging works.

              After a successful upload and download of the default dell image (Windows 7 Pro 64 bit) I did a hardware inventory.
              This works fine as well.

              I’m using a testing setup: live cd of pfsense 1.2 and newly installed fog 0.32 on ubuntu 12.04 (enabled the DHCP option) without changing the network card booting settings in Linux.

              So if it depends on me the Optiplex 3010 can be added to the list of working devices.

              Greetings,
              Johan

                Does anyone find a solution for this problem because we are about to purchase 120 PCs of optiplex 3010 and [I] need to know whether it works with fog or not [/I]

                    Hi,

                    try a newer kernel:
                    Start here: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/hard-disk-not-found-lenovo.4159/page-2#post-12491[/url]
                    don’t be confused of the thread title.

                    It’s based on linux kernel 3.9.4 instead of older 3.8.8

                        Does the the machine stop at this point? Every model of our Dell’s had that error message and never affected the imaging process. We run Dell Optiplex 745, 755, 760, 780, 790, 7010 and Latitudes E6400, E6410, E6420, and E6430’s. We run kernel 3.6.9 and have had no problems with imaging.
