Hi everyone, we have exactly the same issue on the same computer (latitude 5510).

Please take a picture if the error on screen and post here.

@lachagnasse Ok this one is new/strange.

I want you to schedule a new capture/deploy (doesn’t matter) but before you hit the schedule task button, tick the debug checkbox then schedule the task.

PXE boot the target computer. You will still get the error but after a few screens of text you need to clear with the enter key, you should be dropped to the FOS Linux command prompt.

At the fos linux command prompt key in the following ip a s see if it lists more than the loopback network adapter. Hopefully there is more than just the loop back.

If it only shows the loop back then key in the following. lspci -nn | grep -i net. I know you have already done that because you have posted the results. I’m putting this here for others that might find this post.

Using the output you already provided.

00:14.3 Network Controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:02f0]
00:1f.6 Ethernet Controller [0200]: Interl Corporation Ethernet Connection (10) I219-V [8086:0d4f}

Beyond the device ID that says its an i219-v network adapter the hardware location is important for this next bit {00:1f.6}
Key in the following command (similar to before but with different details) lspci -k -nn | more

With that command look through the output for the hardware location 00:1f.6. With a mobile phone take a clear shot of that line. I need to see the line with the 00:1f.6 on it plus the following 2-3 lines. I need to see the kernel driver that is being used.

And finally key in uname -r that should return the kernel version 5.6.18.

thank you for the help again

@asbenavides we have imaged the Latitude 5510’s. I am trying to remember if we just used the USB-C to ethernet adapters or if we used the onboard ethernet. It was a while ago.

Guys, I have some Dell Latitude 5510 with the same problem, I tested it with a USB-C adapter, and it really works, I don’t know what the explanation is but it works !!

@george1421 we had the same issue with an HP ProBook 650. We updated the kernel initially with the latest update from Sept 7, v. 4.19.143, and no go. Scrolling further down we see the higher version of 5.6.18 and it works. Any reason why the newest version is back to 4.xx? Thanks.

Yes there is a reason. The developers are sticking to a release strategy that stays in line with the linux kernel developers and the latest Long Term Support kernel. The latest linux kernel LTS release is 4.19.x. Realizing that new drivers are added to the “current” linux kernel releases the developers have released 5.6.18 where there was many new drivers added to linux 5.5.x series. The FOG developers were told that the next LTS kernel would be 5.10.x. When LTS has been set on 5.10.x the FOG Developers will release a new “current” release.

@george1421 Perfect, thanks for the quick reply.
