Also I am using uefi BIOS settings on this. I am able to register other machines fine.

@imagingmaster21 Welcome to the harsh jungle of buggy UEFI firmwares (or should I better call it “firm wars”?!)…

Please read my post here and feel free to go ahead and challenge this the debugging with me. But only if you’re sure you can keep it up. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10978/uefi-lenovo-miix-320-and-usb-ethernet

So I see that you suggest changing the pxe binary to one of these:
snp.efi, snponly.efi, intel.efi, realtek.efi

Which one should I use for mine, I have all of these available to use. I guess I would just change it in my dhcpd file and run the FOG Installer again?

I have multiple machines that are requiring the usb-ethernet adapter (have this issue) and ones that have an ethernet port (currently no issue).

@imagingmaster21 No need to rerun the installer. Just change in dhcpd.conf and restart the service. Just try one after the other…

So I know I have to change the #option 67 option bootfile-name to the ones we are trying, but in my dhcp file screenshot I attached do I also have to change it in the class’s file names as well. I am guessing yes, but I want to check with you.

@imagingmaster21 If I were you, I would rewrite that configuration to look more like this: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Example_2

Then, for Arch:00007 just play with that filename.

Worked on this in a chat session. Turns out that using snponly.efi does work for this model. This saves us a lot of debugging work. Great!

@Wayne-Workman Mind adding that to the working hardware list?

@imagingmaster21 See Waynes suggestion on following the configuration we have in the wiki. Definitely worth looking at even though you have it up and running now.

@imagingmaster21 Is this a thinkpad or a yoga? If you can, I’d like to have the full model number. Also, I need to know the model of the USB adapter you’re using - who makes it, and preferably a link to where it’s sold.

I had to change it to the snponly.efi file for this to work. Seems to work fine with machines that support uefi bios.

@imagingmaster21 I need model numbers.
