What do I rename the T2 bzimage file to for reliable mac OS capture and restores?

@Sebastian-Roth FWIW, I read (somewhere) the Mac T2 compatibility was going mainstream in the 6.x series of linux kernels, so this one-off patched version shouldn’t be necessary once we have the linux kernel 6.x version in FOS Linux. It looks like 6.1.x is in long term support now.

Nice!!! We were going to bring out a first 6.x kernel soon anyway. Will post here when it’s done.

@Fog_Newb Here you go: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases/tag/20230331

Be aware those kernels are untested so far. I dod not have the time to even do the simplest bootup test.

Thanks, I will replace the ones on the FOG server and the USB stick, with them.

links here so everyone can look up the context.

Thanks
Yes, I needed the USB stick to PXE boot the T2 mac. It worked great and could capture and deploy no problem but…

The MAC address thing is so weird and I’m kind of afraid to test anything in fear of No Administrator Account found

Are you sure this is because of the new 6.x FOS kernel???

[Fog_Newb]

@Sebastian-Roth No, I wasn’t using the 6x kernel. This was using the T2 kernel that was going around a while back.

@Sebastian-Roth

I can’t wait!

[Sebastian Roth]

@Fog_Newb Can we mark this solved then?

[Fog_Newb]

@Sebastian-Roth Yes. Thanks
