Problem PCX Boot HP 17x104fg
-
Hi everyone,
i am currently running a FOG Server Version 1.5.10.1650 (Kernel 6.1.0.37). Normally we are installing Panasonic Toughbooks FZ-55 with our server and never had any Problems.
Now I have a single older HP Notebook 17x104fg and also wanted to install it via FOG. PXE Boot is working fine so far, I am getting the menu displayed, where I can choose to register or deploy. If I choose any of them, for example to to fully register the client, I got an error message
No network interfaces found, your kernel is most probably missing the correct driver!
As far as i investigated, the lapto has a NIC of the Realtek+RTL8102/8103/8136 Family.
Someone any idea, howto solve this? -

Just for clarification, when you see the FOG iPXE menu then the pxe booting is done and iPXE has taken over control of your PC. When you select a FOG iPXE menu item, iPXE transfer control over to FOS Linux (bzImage+init.xz). So your problem is within FOS Linux.
This is a pretty old 10/100 nic, so I would think FOS Linux would know about it. I’ve never hear that family of nic’s before so I can’t be for sure that linux supports it.
If this computer has windows on it go into the device manager, and select that nic. Get the hardware ID of that nic, it will be in the form of
vend_id=8086&device_id=1cfdthat was a totally made up number. I need the 2 groups of hex codes to match the linux driver ID.I can’t seem to find a HP 17-x104fg but I can find a 17-x104ng laptop with a 7th gen intel chip. I’m suspecting the realtek nic family you mentioned is not installed in this laptop. There is no reason to install a 10/100 nic along side a 7th gen intel processor. Lets get the nic hardware ID so we can properly ID that nic.

thank you for your great answer. You are completely right, it is a 17-x104ng, not a fg. It was an error of me
The needed hardware id is VEN_10EC&DEV_8136
Hope that helps
Thx,
