@breit I guess the next step here is for you to download fedora and “burn” to a flash drive. Boot it live (no install needed) then open a command window and do the
lsblk
bit. You should see the usb flash drive, but hopefully also the nvme drive.One other thought, I know you just purchased them, but is the firmware up to date.
Also if you put the device in legacy(bios) mode do we have any better luck with seeing the nvme disk.
Sorry about all of these random thoughts, but the issue has to be somewhere. So we need to find out where it isn’t to narrow it down to where it might be.

@george1421 i appreciate the help the firmware is upto date. I will try fedora and get back to you. even with legacy mode same error message.
-
I can confirm that Fedora does see the drive
-
@breit Well on the plus side, we now know its possible to image that computer. The down side is understanding why is going to take a bit more time to decipher.
On your fog server, from a linux console change to /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe directory. Then key in
file bzImage
this will tell us the version of the linux kernel you are sending to that target computer.Also under fedora if you could run the lspci command with this syntax
lspci -knn
This will list all pci devices with the linux kernel driver that talks to the hardware. Lastly if you could upload the file /var/log/messages to a google drive so I could review it, that would be handy.I would also like to see the /var/log/messages (or /var/log/syslog) from FOS booted in debug mode from this hardware too. This will allow us to compare what fedora is doing vs what FOS is doing during boot time regarding that hardware.
I’m pretty sure we can get this working for you, we just need to understand why is there a difference between fedora (with an older linux kernel) and FOS.

Subsystem: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd Device [144d:a801]
Kernel driver in use: nvme
Kernel modules: nvmeI haven’t done a full comparison of the two lspci files yet but just a quick look the last line above is missing from the FOG lspci data. Maybe its not loading that controller and Fedora is?
-
Any ideas on how to get this working?
-
The times that I’ve hard of this the sata operation mode was setup as raid. From what I’m gathering, your sata operation mode is setup for AHCI? So I am really at a loss.
-
After even more digging. There is something hardware related that FOG doesn’t like or isn’t seeing. I put the SED drive into a MMF Dell 7050 and it started imaging without any issues. Maybe its the new quick swap device on it?
I will add due to hardware differences the image crashed upon loading into windows 7 (Yeah I know windows 7)
-
@BREIT Well then I’d expect the controller being the issue here - not the disk itself. Can you please try setting
nvme_load=YES
as kernel option in the client’s host settings and try again? -
@sebastian-roth said in Hard Drive, SSD, & M.2:
nvme_load=YES
Sorry I need a little clarification, I go to the host on the web interface and type in nvme_load=YES in the Host Kernel Arguments?
-
@breit said in Hard Drive, SSD, & M.2:
I go to the host on the web interface and type in nvme_load=YES in the Host Kernel Arguments?
Yeah, exactly. Then try booting the client again and see if it can find the drive.
-
That did not work. Same error message comes up.
I did notice this line when booting kernel
populating /dev using udev: udevd[[3096]: error creating epoll fd: Function not implemented
-
Hey guys. So I’ve attempted to register a computer this morning with a m.2 hard drive and got the same error message. Just wanted to pass that information along.
I overlooked switching to ACHI on this computer. DOH!
-
@breit What model of hardware is in question?
Also fog is at 1.5.2 with the kernels at 4.16.6. I’m not suggesting that either will fix your issues. Just letting you know there is newer stuff out there. I might hold off on updating FOG until 1.5.3 is released since there are a few annoyances in 1.5.2, but see if the newer kernel finds this nvme drive.
-
Just throwing this out there, might absolutely not be related and me just missunderstanding whats actually happening here.
I had problems Imaging a computer at point when switching from a hdd machine as image-source to an ssd.
I had to change the host primary disk to the correct one - I think from sda to sda2 or something along those lines - for this to work.
Rereading again I suppose this is in another direction, but just in case.
