First time started using DeskPro 600 G2 P5U70UT#ABA and NIC compatibility fails; latest kernel

First time started using DeskPro 600 G2 P5U70UT#ABA and registration hangs on “attemping to register host”
I’ve used the 600 G1 series for a year and it seems that the difference here is the G2 – they must have made some kind of hardware change or something to the bare metal which has caused the issue. Any help will be appreciated from the community!
I am on For 1.2.0 using the init_32.xz stock bzImage32 that came with 1.2.0 and undionly.kkpxe PXE boot file
The new PC is the latest HP Desk Pro:
HP ProDesk 600 G2 - Core i5 6500 3.2 GHz - 8 GB - 500 GB *
CDW Part #: 3845120 | Mfg Part #: P5U70UT#ABAThank you

@Boyan-Biandov You can try updating the kernel (web gui -> FOG configuration -> kernel update) and see if that helps.

@Sebastian-Roth Thanks for the quick reply.
Actually this turned out to be a NIC problem. I am using the latest kernel:
Kernel - 3.19.3 TomElliottUSB
Date : July 22, 2015
Version : 3.19.3
And I get an incompatibility error:

@Boyan-Biandov We are seeing this model being trouble quite a bit lately.
You need kernels 4.1 or newer to activate that nic. If you have some linux skills I can tell you where to get the latest kernels for FOG.

https://fogproject.org/kernels/bzImage32You will need to download these and then do the following
- Rename the original files in /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe to something else
- move these files into the /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe directory.
- PXE boot that target computer again. Go into compatibility check to confirm both the nic and hard drive are seen.

YEP 4.1 worked. Thanks very much George!

@Boyan-Biandov FWIF if you used the kernels from my link they are 4.6.2. But either way I’m glad you got past this issue. Happy FOGing…
