    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)

                  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 :-))

                        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.

                                Didn’t know that there are Surface Pro 3 devices with eMMC HDD…

                                ...
                                [    2.163894] mmc0: MAN_BKOPS_EN bit is not set
                                [    2.187891] mmc0: new HS200 MMC card at address 0001
                                [    2.188108] mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 HCG8e 58.2 GiB 
                                [    2.188172] mmcblk0boot0: mmc0:0001 HCG8e partition 1 4.00 MiB

                                To make this work you have to set 'Host Primary Disk tp ‘/dev/mmcblk0’ (without the quotes!) in the host settings of this particular devices/host. Please report back.

                                  The ‘Host Primary Disk’ change did the trick! Thanks Uncle Frank! I’m working on testing a Windows 10 deployment.

                                      We are requesting that all community members who have Surface Pros to please do a packet capture, to capture the DHCP conversation the client sends out at boot time via the ethernet dock, and upload the capture here. The intent is to gather more information about the Surface Pro, so fog can better support network booting it.

                                      Thanks,
                                      Wayne
