      Did you manage to get the surface’s to boot into FOG using the official Microsoft USB LAN Adaptor or only the docking station?

      I’ve created a modified EFI Bootfile as mentioned above and added it into the tftpboot folder on the fog server, and changed the boot file to use in DHCP, but I can’t get it to boot up into Fog.

      It loads up the PXE boot very quickly and a message about downloading an image but then it goes and continues to load up the surface into Windows.

      Thanks

      Matt

              Just tried with the file supplied in the link and it still won’t boot to the Fog menu - I get downloading NBP? File…

              Then blips saying successful and then continues to load up Windows.

                OK,

                I originally tried using the ipxe.efi which failed to boot the surface to the fog menu,

                I then tried the snp.efi which booted to a very basic looking menu, I tried to register the host and I get the message:-

                i8042: Can’t read CTR while initializing i8042
                usb usb2-port1: couldn’t allocate usb_device
                Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)
                Kernel Offset: 0x0 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffff9fffffff)
                —[ end of Kernal panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount fs on unknown-block(1,0)

                I’ve also tried changing the bootfile to snponly.efi and get the same error as above.

                Thanks

                Matt

                      okay, Matt, can you attempt upgrading to SVN? The command line you’re missing (causing your boot problem) is initrd=init.xz. This is corrected for in SVN, though I am aware of some issues potentially with the init and am working hard to try correcting them.

                        I’m really sorry Tom, are you able to guide me to what I should be doing exactly to achieve what you say. I’m not too familiar with the background workings of Linux.

                        Thanks

                              Thanks - I’ll give this another shot - but I tried this a few days back after reading your earlier post and couldn’t get it to work!

                                I’m hoping that once you make a 32-bit bootfile that it’ll work. Unless you already have…

                                  Morning,

                                  I’ve tried again using the modified ipxe.efi file created from the website - When I set that as the bootfile and boot up the Surface Pro 3 I get…

                                  Checking Media Presence…
                                  Media Present…
                                  Start PXE over IPv4

                                  It flicks then to saying

                                  Downloading NBP file… (this appears for a second or two)

                                  Then moves onto

                                  Checking Media Presence…
                                  Media Present…
                                  Start PXE over IPv6

                                  Before continuing to boot up the Surface Pro 3.

                                  I don’t get any Fog Menu

                                  Thanks

                                    Try making a 32-bit EFI bootfile with a script that only has these contents:

                                    #!ipxe

                                    dhcp
                                    shell

                                    If that doesn’t work either, make a 64-bit one with the same script.

                                    One of those should bring you to an iPXE shell.

                                      Thanks - will try this tomorrow when I’m back in work.

                                      If I manage to get it working, will this then boot up the fog menu or will I need to enter some command in the iPXE shell to load fog? If so, what will I need to enter?

                                      Thanks

                                        You’ll end up in an iPXE shell…
                                        dhcp, ifstat, ipstat and ping will be helpful to debug you network connection. When it is up you can just chainload default.ipxe (chain tftp://<tftp-ip>/default.ipxe) OR run all the commands by hand (see d4rk3’s earlier post #45).

                                          Correct. Once we get you to a shell we can go from there.

                                          On that note, once you are able to boot to an iPXE shell make a note of the architecture of the EFI bootfile. Go back to [url]https://rom-o-matic.eu[/url] and re-compile an EFI bootfile with the correct architecture for your Surfaces.

                                          Keep us posted.

                                            I’ve tried doing this…

                                            I first tried with the 32 bit and it flashed up saying downloading NBP File very quickly then moved onto IPv6 before continuing to load up Windows…

                                            I then tried using the 64 bit version, again it came up with Downloading NBP file and appeared to be doing a little more then the 32 bit version, but then it continued to load up Windows!!

                                            What else can I try??!?!?

                                            Thanks

                                            Matt
