Dell Optiplex 7080

[Chris Whiteley]

I am having an issue with the Dell Optiplex 7080 I just got booting into the registration screen. It will pull up the FOG menu and then will get to a certain point and not pull a DHCP address after that.

It is the Intel PCI-E Ethernet Adapter: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=ppr2c

I am currently running Fog 1.5.9.34

Thanks!

What is the version of the FOS Linux kernel that you are using FOG Configuration -> Update kernel (I think). You need to have at least 5.6.18 installed to support the latest hardware. The 7080 is really new. If you have 5.6.18 installed then we need to do a deep dive on the hardware.

@george1421 It looks like I was on a different version. The new version worked! Thanks for jogging my memory.

@Chris-Whiteley The default for a current install of FOG is still 4.19.x series because that is the last / latest LTS version of the linux kernel. When the kernel developers release the next LTS version of the linux kernel (supposedly to be 5.10.x) then the FOG Developers will make that standard.
