@george1421 I used TCPDUMP without telling which ports to listen (tcpdump -i enp12s0 -w output3-BIOS-hp.pcap), in 3 computers:

UEFI Computer #1 - file is “output1-UEFI-insys.pcap” - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lBxNv2bhjTtMhPEC2gd66tpzV3egZK5i/view?usp=sharing UEFI Computer #2 - file is “output1-UEFI-b560m.pcap” - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TgiQS15RrESjc3Q92euB7UWOMLPOxXFu/view?usp=sharing BIOS Computer #3 - file is “output1-BIOS-hp.pcap” - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gkz71TMr8XzJovDSOZqyvkcvtsjCz2I0/view?usp=sharing

I think in these files, you can see at DHCP information and finally can figure out how to help me. I really need this to be working. School starts next tuesday and I have a lot of computers to deploy images to.

@lobomarinho said in Dell Optiplex 5490, boot but o network interfaces found:

My Dell Optiplex 5490 detect server but then give me a error

BIOS file name is “undionly.kpxe”

Just reading between the lines here. What you have said are in conflict. I would think the optiplex 5490 is a uefi only system. The undionly.kpxe program is a bios only boot loader. You can’t boot undionly.kpxe on a uefi based computer.

Second part and more on point is. Do you get to the FOG iPXE menu? If no then you need to update iPXE. If yes, then update the FOG Linux kernel (FOG WebUi -> FOG Configuration -> Kernel update. Update to the 5.15.(latest) to get the newest hardware support. as @LLamaPie mentioned.

@djgalloway Thank you. Actually this thread helps advance the project too. The devs won’t add this driver to the main kernel but if they need to create a one off kernel the instructions are here.

@george1421 worked like a charm when switching to REFIND.

Change your Boot Exit settings in the fog web GUI to GRUB. If that is your current setting change to SANBOOT.

@sebastian-roth said in Image capture: reading partition tables failed:

@david-burgess You might want to point to a specific Primary Disk within the host settings, e.g. /dev/sda

Thank you. This was the fix.

@jalilg said in Fujitsu Lifebook E5511 / Intel 11th Gen Boot Failure:

What do you mean with the firewall only supports static dhcp options

This is specific to how the value of dhcp option 67 is managed. It is static in the sense of you have to manually configure it to send out undionly.kpxe for bios computers and ipxe.efi if you want to boot uefi computers. That is a static text field.

When I refer to dynamic options, that means based on the pxe booting computer, if the computer is bios based then the dhcp server will send out undionly.kpxe name. If the computer is uefi based then it will send out ipxe.efi. Its dynamic from the perspective of the pxe booting computer.

If you had a windows 2012 or later or linux dhcp server you can enable policies to make dhcp option 67 specific to the pxe booting computer. If you are not using one of those dhcp servers and your dhcp server doesn’t support dynamic dhcp options then we can deploy dnsmasq to provide that dynamic info only. We find most dhcp servers running on routers or switches don’t support dynamic pxe booting, pfsense is one exception that does support it.

@abde No problem. I am happy to answer your questions, we just need to follow the guidance of the developers to keep one problem one thread policy.

@aheerds Glad you have it working. Just for clarity ipxe.efi/snp.efi/undionly.kpxe will get you to the FOG iPXE menu. Once you select a menu selection that’s when FOS Linux (a.k.a “the kernel”) takes over. Both (ipxe and FOS) will throw the “No configuration method succeeded”.

@sebastian-roth Issue hase been fixed by using the 5.15.19 kernel. Many thanks @george1421 and @Sebastian-Roth for the quick support.

We found the solution. For anyone having the same problem with a emmc G1J39E, use the kernel arguments

sdhci.debug_quirks=0x65168080

we found the answer right here

@lsathya I really think there is something up/wrong with this hardware that causes iPXE to hang.

We do have a fall back method to get these computers to image without pxe booting. You will lose some capabilities, but you will be able to image them. Read through this article. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7727/building-usb-booting-fos-image Because of the way the forum works the first part is at the top of the thread and the subsequent parts are at the end of the thread. Read through the tutorial and understand what you need to do and the caveats by creating a USB Boot image for FOS Linux.

Also look in the FOG Forum chat bubble at the top for a few more hints.

@andy-morris said in Lenovo 14w Gen2:

I just got it going by using the Kernel bzImage-5.15.5 from the fogproject.org/kernels/ list. I will make it the default for bzImage.

Nice! You might even use the newer kernel from github I just compiled a week ago: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases/tag/20220203

By the way, the pictures you posted show that you were using 4.19.x kernel earlier… 😉

@kweldon said in Issue with loading Fog image to HP AMD systems with Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller.:

5.15.x development kernel fixed my issue

Nice. We’ll need to get 5.15.x into the main stream kernels now. It is very strange for the latest linux kernel to fix a very old network adapter running on new hardware.

Just be aware that if you update FOG it will replace bzImage with what ever is being currently distributing with FOG at the time.

When FOG 1.5.10 is released it will probably ship with 5.10.x series kernels unless we can get more fog admins to test 5.15.x series before FOG 1.5.10 is released later this spring.

@sebastian-roth Thank you very much for your help. Now it works 100%

@sebastian-roth I had to hand over the U7511 and i did test on another laptop [E5511] ; i’m going to test on another U7511 when i’ll receive a new one next week. I’ll get you in touch.

Thank you again for the good work you do !

@george1421 Thanks a lot. It was the router that has dhcp and i just turned off the dhcp it work well thanks a lot

@george1421

Le problème s’est résolu avec le bon pack de pilotes.
Reconnaissance du disque dur et pas de soucis avec le partionnement.
En gardant la même version de fog, c’est à dire en 1.5.5.

Merci pour les réponse.
Nous allons mettre notre serveur à jour pour les prochaines stations.

Thanks.

@franck said in ACER VERITON N4670GT:

that mean i have to put everyone of them in AHCI mode too before doing it

The short answer is yes. Now just be aware that switching from raid mode to ahci might cause the system to not boot if the previous mode was selected.

This issue is related to the intel rst adapter, uefi and linux kernel. Intel won’t release the intel raid driver to the linux community so there are no linux drivers to reach the disk. This is not specifically a FOG issue, but a linux/intel issue.
