Your kernel is most likely missing the correct driver

[Lanius]

Hi, Thanks for your response. I have installed the 5.10.50 x32 x64 and arm64 , rebooted client machine and presented with the same error. I have tried with the Ethernet Extension Adapter Gen2 as well as the Thinkpad Ultra docking station. Is there something else I can do? Thanks!

@lanius OK then, from a windows computer, go into the device manager and get the hardware ID of that network adapter we will need both the vendor and device ID. I’ll look up to see if linux has a driver for it.

[Lanius]

@george1421 It appears its the same hardware Id for both.

Intel Ethernet Connection (10) l219-V

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0D4F&SUBSYS_22AF17AA&REV_00
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0D4F&SUBSYS_22AF17AA
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0D4F&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0D4F&CC_0200

Thanks again.

@lanius Ok what I want you to do (since you said you downloaded 5.10.x) is to prove that its booting that kernel. The nic card you mentioned should have been in linux 5.5, if I remember correctly. Its possible that the kernel update didn’t do what was expected.

Schedule another capture/deploy task to this target computer. On the schedule task tick the debug checkbox before you press the schedule task button. Now pxe boot the target computer. On the target computer you will have to clear several screens of text with the enter key. Then you will be dropped to the FOS Linux command prompt.

key in uname -a. It will tell you the version of the kernel. If it doesn’t say 5.10.x then the kernel update didn’t work as expected. This is what I think is wrong right now.

@Lanius As well please run the following commands on your FOG server command shell (not the client this time) and post output here:

ls -al /var/www
ls -al /var/www/html
file /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage*
file /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage*

@Lanius Ok, seems like you have an issue with a duplicated web directory. Please run the following commands and post output here:

grep DocumentRoot /etc/apache2/sites-available/001-fog.conf
grep docroot /opt/fog/.fogsettings

[Lanius]

@sebastian-roth

grep DocumentRoot /etc/apache2/sites-available/001-fog.conf

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/

grep docroot /opt/fog/.fogsettings

docroot=‘/var/www/html/’

@george1421 I’ll be going in tomorrow so I will be able to run tests from client. Sorry for the wait

[Sebastian Roth]

@Lanius Unfortunately you seem to have a duplicated web root on your server. This does happen in certain cases but can be fixed manually, no problem.

sudo -i
cp /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage* /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/
mv /var/www/fog /root/old_fog_www_dir_can_be_deleted_soon
ln -s /var/www/html/fog /var/www/fog

Now when you PXE boot client machines you should have them use the newer kernel version.
