      Tom,

      first of all thanks for all the efforts you put into FOG!

      Yes, I’m quite sure, that it is stuck, because the computer doesn’t react to anything except complete shutdown via power button. I think I waited at least 5 minutes every time before shutting the computer down. You might be right with your assumption. The x240 is a relatively new model, so probably the chipset or whatever driver is missing, causes the problem. The model I have here is the following:

      [url]http://www.campuspoint.de/lenovo-thinkpad-university-x240-20ams05e00.html[/url]

      The website is German, but you should be able to see the hardware components inside.

      Thanks again!

        I’ve built a kernel that I’d like you to try. I don’t know where the hold out is, so this kernel has bios info embedded as well as all possible (I could find) intel drivers as well. Hope it helps.

          Thanks, but unfortunately it gets stuck at the same point. Waited over 10 minutes this time, but nothing happened.

          Could the SSD be the trouble maker, what do you think? Usually I image computers with HDDs, so I’m thinking maybe the SSD is the problem in this case.

              I have the new Lenovo T440s that has the same issue. I will try Tom’s firmware and report back.

              As a side note my X1 Carbon has a SSD and works great with fog after updating to 3.8.8.

                After testing the kernel did not work with the Lenovo T440s.

                  Chris and madeyem,

                  Would you guys possibly try my latest kernel to see if this helps out at all? Chances are there will be little to no difference, but I removed a lot from the kernel that I think was munging up your system at load time. It, seemingly, boots much faster than previously and may actually get these systems working.

                  Thank you,

                    Tom,

                    I installed the laptop manually and already handed it over to an employee. I don’t have a second laptop of that kind (Thinkpad x240), so hopefully Chris can test it.

                      Tom,

                      Thank you very much for your help on this. As you suspected it did not work. I have attached an image of the output. I have now waited 15 min. with no movement.

                        the namespace failed error does not mean it’s not working, but the fact nothing else is working worries me a little.

                        When you’re trying to boot up, are you doing a Debug mode and it’s not moving further?

                          Tom,

                          I backed up the current kernel and copied the kernel I downloaded from your link to the server. After that I just booted to network and choose full registration.

                            can you try to just load debug mode? It should give more output that maybe I can narrow down where the problem is.

                              The system I am testing with is a Lenovo T440s with a mechanical 500GB HDD and a 16GB SSD to be used as a cache. I have attached the debug screen and it looks like it might be hanging up on the SSD. Tom what do you think.

                                Looking at it, it looks like it possibly is competing for the write cache. Since both are fine, it dukes it out. I’m also assuming any kernel you’ve tried, you’re getting the same problems, is this correct?

                                  The 3.8.8 kernel also freezes at the same point in debug mode.

                                    I just received in a Lenovo T440p and it is freezing at the same point as the T440s, however the T440p doesn’t have a SSD cache.

                                      Then I don’t know where the problem is. It must be something in the RAM is blocking it. Maybe UEFI is enabled? Maybe disable UEFI and go full legacy if you can?

                                        That is the first thing I did was go full legacy in the BIOS. Are there any models that have worked with FOG that have the 4th gen Intel mobile processor?

                                          Another question would be, does FOG depend on the OS at all? I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64. Would it be better to choose a more current OS?

                                            I don’t know. I’ve tried compiling any and all intel based information(s) that I could find, but so far nothing seems to be working. If I could narrow down the exact issue (as it isn’t spitting out any information to you) I might have better luck, but until then I haven’t got the foggiest (forgive the bad pun) idea of what to do.
