      Preamble

      A while back @george1421 helped me create a bootable USB stick to allow IPXE bootinig my 2018 mini to FOG (I have all the T2 security features disabled in the mac BIOS no secure boot etc)

      It was able to capture images no problem. I ran into problems deploying the captured images (to the same mac they were captured from). I guess it had something to do with the T2 chip. The image would deploy fine but would not boot the OS.

      It started to get complicated for me and I decided to suck it up and just use Time Machine. I do not like Time Machine.

      IIRC, since then T2 support has been baked into the Linux kernel and…

      I just noticed this! Are there any plans to update it?

      Thanks

        @Fog_Newb Have you tried to take a current 6.x fos kernel with a current init and put them on the usb stick and boot? Maybe the current kernel work out of the box. To get the 4.19 version of the kernel to boot I had to patch it with the T2 patches they had at the time to make imaging work with the T2 chip enabled.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!
