HP 405 G6 deploy error
-
@Zaqen Just ignore those messages you see with the tftp server. The “does no accept options” thing is not an issue and known (search the forums).
08:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semicondutor co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ehternet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 29)
Ok I was wrong with my PCI ID guess. The NIC in this system isn’t that new really. I guess we’re just missing some firmware.
I suppose you got the
lspcioutput in a FOG debug session. Please boot up into it again and run the following command:dmesg | grep -i -e eth -e firmware(take a picture of the screen and post here) -
Restart fog server and typing command :
[root@POMPELUP ~]# dmesg | grep -i -e eth -e firmware
[Firmware Bug]: No valid trip found
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
[root@POMPELUP ~]# -
Firmware must be in /lib/firmware ? (same directory of all firmware product support ?)

No, we don’t need that information from the FOG server but from the HP 405 G6!

Update: Looks like there is a NIC that is only supported in Linux kernel version 5.15 and newer so far: 10ec:8162 (see https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/R8169.html)
Last kernel available in web fog interface is 5.10.71

Ok but how i do this on HP 405 G6 ?
No system available because i can deploy it ! LOL !
I don’t understand -
As near as I can guess that system was released in Sept 2020. So its been out over a year. I would think the linux kernel would have the driver for this nic. I might think maybe missing firmware. If you go the linux route, once you get the hardware ID stay in the debug mode because we may have you look in syslog for the word firmware.
Sorry don’t understand how to start debug mode on client .
- i start client (after configure it on fog server to deploy it)
- client start on pxe
- and next black screen says :
r8169 0000:08:00.1 : unknown chip XID 54b
and 5 or 6 lines bellow error message is :
No netwok interfaces found, your kernel is most probally missing the correct drivers !
I ask you, what must i do ?

Just before you click the “Create Task” button in the FOG web UI there is a checkbox for debug. Use that and start the machine up as usual. Eventually that should bring you to a command shell on the machine despite the error.
If you can’t get to a Linux command shell this way you can use a Live Linux boot CD/DVD/ISO, e.g. Clonezilla and bootup the machine with that to get to a command shell.
Run both commands there and post information here (picture):
lspci -nn | grep -i net dmesg | grep -i -e eth -e firmware -
Ok but i ever do this.
Boot on Gparted usb key, open terminal and i put result on this post.
I try checkbox for debug today PM.

Sorry it’s ok to dmesg | grep -i -e eth -e firmware command.
result is :

Well done! Unfortunately there is not much news to this.
Doing a little more research I found this: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/linux-support-drivers-for-hp-prodesk-405-g6-amd-pro-565-chipset-renoir-ryzen-4750ge-realtek-rtl8111fph-cg/54260/4
So I just compiled a 5.15.x kernel for you to see if that makes a difference: https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage-5.15.5 (64 bit kernel)
-
yes not very lot of solution.
Thank you very much to the kernel (but i prefered do it
i just copy it in /tftpboot/fog/kernel/ ?
Thank’s a lot

@zaqen said in HP 405 G6 deploy error:

No that directory doesn’t exist as far as I know. Kernels on FOG servers go into
/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/. I suggest you leave the filename including the version number so not ot overwrite the existing kernel. Then edit the host entry for one of your HP 405 G6 test machines and set Host Kernel tobzImage-5.15.5. Schedule a deploy task for this host and PXE boot into it. -
Sebastian, I copied the kernel to the server and start testing this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
I keep you informed.

@sebastian-roth
Hello Sebastian
I just did the test everything works fine with kernel 5-15.5.
Is it possible to give the kernel name at group level?
Thank you very much Sebastian -
@zaqen said in HP 405 G6 deploy error:

Sure, FOG web UI -> FOG COnfiguration -> FOG Settings -> expand all -> search for Kernel.
Or simply rename the
bzImage-5.15.5tobzImage(and rename the originalbzImageinstead of overwriting it just to be sure to have a backup copy). -
@sebastian-roth
yes thank’you. i found where i can create group and i put version of kernel, it’s perfect.
George give to me howto compiling kernel to fog, but I would like to have your method please
Cheers
