Lenovo 14w Gen2

[Andy Morris]

We have been using Fog since it was Free Opensource Ghost and love it. We have it setup to image both Legacy and UEFI devices on certain subnets and all is working great. Except for this current batch of Lenovo Laptops. I can get them to boot from USB network adapters but it doesn’t see the hard drive. I have updated the Kernal and ipxe to the most current version. What else can I try to get it to recognize the hard drive? There is no longer legacy mode in the Bios.

Thoughts?

@Andy-Morris Please PXE boot into debug mode, run the following commands and post a picture of the output here:

grep -e sda -e nvme /var/log/messages
lspci -nn | grep -i storage
lsblk
uname -a

I just got it going by using the Kernel bzImage-5.15.5 from the fogproject.org/kernels/ list. I will make it the default for bzImage.

@Developers one more vote for the 5.15.x series kernels on current hardware

Nice! You might even use the newer kernel from github I just compiled a week ago: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases/tag/20220203

By the way, the pictures you posted show that you were using 4.19.x kernel earlier…
