Unsolved Surface Pro 4 registration issues

@tom-elliott I am out of the office now I will try and get on the working tomorrow. What would be the best way to do that?

[Tom Elliott]

The working is the important part. Right now, from what I can tell, you’re on dev-branch.

Those were the exact steps I did about 2 hours ago to get to the version I am currently on.

[Tom Elliott]

Did you install using git?

Meaning, can you please do:

As root of course:
cd /path/to/fog/repo
git pull
git checkout working
git pull
cd bin
./installfog.sh

[jwalt]

That is currently how i have it setup. I attempted with out the mini switch and had the same results.

Looking at the light on the dongle it stops flashing as soon as this line…

ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed _SB.PCI0.UA02, AE_NOT_FOUND (20170531/psparse-550)

@jwalt Try connecting an unmanaged mini switch to connect between client and network. Does that change anything?

[jwalt]

I am still getting the same issues.

my current config is…

Running Version 1.5.0-RC-9
SVN Revision: 6080
ipxe.efi
KERNEL ARGS removed

Also, to my knowledge, you should not need the has_usb_nic=1 anymore.

[Tom Elliott]

@jwalt Are you working from the working branch of git, or the dev-branch?

I ask because the 7156 was removed in working. Which might help you if you install it instead.

[jwalt]

Thank you for the quick response!
I put the ipxe back and tested again with the results below.

[Sebastian Roth]

@jwalt Though this shouldn’t have an impact on your issue we don’t provide those ipxe7156 binaries anymore because the problem is now fixed in the official iPXE code and we got rid of the old binaries. So please configure your DHCP to point to the very latest ipxe.efi again.

So do you actually see the boot message telling you to un- and re-plug the USB NIC? This should come up when using the has_usb_nic=1 kernel parameter. Make sure it’s phrased correctly or it wouldn’t work.
