Supermicro AS -2024US, Intel x710 NIC No Network Interfaces found Kernel Missing the correct driver

@reggiep9000 This is a 10 GB ethernet chip. https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/I40E.html

We do have that driver compiled into the 5.10.71 FOS kernel: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/blob/75a42457bb6565c30687c5978f9773099d868994/configs/kernelx64.config#L1504

When in debug mode please run uname -a to verify you are actually running the 5.10.71 kernel! Post a picture of the output here.

@reggiep9000 Very good, that nic driver was added to the linux kernel in version 5.4.

So if you updated the FOS Linux kernel to 5.10.x, it “should be” working. Also there was no missing firmware that the linux kernel was complaining about.

As Sebastian mentioned lets run these debugging commands from FOS’ debug mode.

uname -a
ip a s

Post the output here like the last one.

@george1421
thanks both,

see below:

@reggiep9000 Ah, new interesting facts.

I see the issue in that you are using the 4.19.x series of FOS Linux kernels. That network adapter was added in linux kernel 5.5. So that is why its not working.

You can update the FOS Linux kernel in the Web UI -> FOG Confituration -> Kernel update. The uname -a will report 5.10.x when you are running the updated kernel.

@george1421 @reggiep9000 I can imagine this is a duplicated web root issue. Please run the following commands on your FOG server 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*

yes that sounds about right;

@reggiep9000 A quick fix is to just copy the files:

cp /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe
cp /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage32 /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe

Then we can figure out why the link is broken.

You must have debian variant because /var/www is the debian doc root and /var/www/html is the rhel doc root. There “should be” a soft link that maps /var/www/html/fog back to /var/www/fog That links must be broken or non-existent for some reason.

Thanks so much @george1421 @Sebastian-Roth that’s done the trick!!

Nice. Then we might also try to fix the other issue quickly.

Run these two commands and post output here:

grep FOG_VERSION /var/www/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php
grep FOG_VERSION /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/system.class.php
ls -al /var/www/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php
ls -al /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/config.class.php

@reggiep9000 Ok, this should get rid of the duplicate web dir:

mv /var/www/fog /home/fog_web_1.5.9_old
ln -s /var/www/html/fog /var/www/

[reggiep9000]

@sebastian-roth perfect thanks, do i need to restart any services?

No restart needed.
