Cannot Inventory Lenovo T430
-
boot an Ubuntu LiveCD. If it loads a NIC driver that works, you can use some command lines to figure out the chipset information and the driver module name. We can probably help you get a kernel that works after we know that information.
-
I am now able to image the T430 w/nvidia after I updated the Kernel to the newest one.
-
I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for. I didn’t have Ubuntu laying around but I did have Mint.

What version of fog are you running? I’m running .32. Which Kernel are you using? What model T430 is it?
I’m trying to register and capture a T430s 2353 5UU
-
I have a Lenovo t430 that i am having this same issue with. Anyone found a solution? The only thing i saw was Chris Sodey’s answer but he didn’t explained what he did.

Bump,
My company is ordering these by the wheelbarrow. Any updates regarding this issue?
-
Have you tried the latest kernel added by Jian a few days ago?
-
The latest kernel fixed the issue. With the Nvidia chipset you can now inventory normally.
-
I just read the entire post and I will explain what the issue I was having was.
Prior to updating the Kernel I was able to inventory normally only when I forced the graphics to intel only. Fog was freezing when Nvidia optimus was chosen in the BIOS. New with the update I can inventory normally with the Optimus graphics or discrete chosen in the BIOS. FOG works perfectly for both the T430 and the T430s. To update the Kernel you will have to go to the web interface and in FOG settings there will be a Kernel update option. -
If it helps I am running FOG on top of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server with no GUI. Also, it helps to make sure your linux is fully updated. In ubuntu use the following commands.
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update
