        Do this:

        [SIZE=13px][INDENT]Go here:

        [URL=‘https://rom-o-matic.eu/’]https://rom-o-matic.eu[/URL]

        Advanced - EFI PXE Bootstrap 32-bit

        Check these boxes:

        [URL=‘http://www.ipxe.org/buildcfg/PARAM_CMD’][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]PARAM_CMD[/COLOR][/FONT][/URL][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000], Form parameter commands [/COLOR][/FONT]

        And paste this script in the script box (Replace x.x.x.x with your FOG server’s IP or hostname):

        #!ipxe

        dhcp
        cpuid --ext 29 && set arch i386 ||

        :bootme
        chain [url]http://x.x.x.x/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params[/url]

        Click Proceed, and voila! Copy the new EFI bootfile to your /tftpboot folder and give it a whirl![/INDENT][/SIZE]

          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

              Matt

                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

                  Matt

                    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).

                    Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                    Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

                      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

                          Ok, I just re-read this thread and I missed your earlier message:

                          “I then tried the snp.efi which booted to a very basic looking menu”

                          The snp.efi is what you’ll want to use for these.

                          Now, we just need to find a good kernel for these to boot with and you should be all set.

                            Ok. I just re-read it again and Tom is correct, you’ll need to upgrade to the latest SVN for these to work.

                            [CODE]apt-get install subversion
                            svn co https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/ /opt/trunk
                            cd /opt/trunk/bin
                            ./installfog.sh[/CODE]

                            Once upgraded use the snp.efi bootfile and see if you’re able to register the Surface with FOG.

                              I am experiencing a similar issue.

                              I was able to get a Surface Pro 3 to PXE boot and recognize my FOG server, but when I attempted to either Quick Host Register or Full Host Register, I received the following error:

                              “Error ident-mapping new memmap (ox13ac72000)!
                              i8042: No controller found”

                              Then, at the usual FOG registration screen, it says:
                              “An error has been detected!
                              Cannot find HDD on system”

                              I tested using a USB keyboard instead of the Surface keyboard, and made sure that the server could still register and deploy images to other computers.

                              I also tried snp.efi and ipxe.efi with no luck. FOG 1.2 and my trunk is up-to-date as of yesterday (9/22/15) and the FOG server has been restarted.

                              Any ideas out there?

                                There are several other threads about Surface Pro 3 in the forums (https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=site:fogproject.org+surface) but non of them is talking about HDD problems I wonder.

                                AFAIK there is a SSD drive in the Surface Pro 3, right? Please add the device as a new host with it’s MAC address by hand in the webinterface. Then boot it up in a debug session (Host -> Basic Tasks -> Debug) and issue the following command:

                                dmesg | grep sd

                                What do you see?

                                Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                                  Thanks Uncle Frank . Please see the attached image of what I saw after entering the debug command.IMG_0482.JPG

                                    What about this:

                                    dmesg | grep ATA

                                    Sorry, this is just guessing in the dark so far. Probably best if you could upload the whole output so we can have a look. Again, boot into debug mode and then:

                                    mkdir -p /mnt
mount -o nolock <your-fog-server-ip>:/images/dev /mnt
dmesg > /mnt/dmesg.txt
umount /mnt

                                    Edit: Just for the records, here is what dmesg on a Surface Pro 3 might look like: https://gist.github.com/altercation/30776be1078eac2b0cc6

                                        This obviously didn’t get posted at full length. Please try to add dmesg.txt to your post as an attached file using the upload button just obove the text entering box (right of the smily :-))

                                        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                                        Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

                                          Separate question, but do you have any tips on exporting a file in Windows or Mac machine from a Linux box? Haven’t had to do this yet.

                                            You can either use WinSCP, or copy the file to /tftpboot and get it via tftp from windows.

                                             tftp –i x.x.x.x get dmesg.txt

                                            Where x.x.x.x is the IP of your FOG server.
