    @george1421 Where is FOS’s supported hardware list?

    I also tried building this: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=USB_Bootable_Media

    It loads iPXE, but then doesn’t receive an IP Address and just fails. Network Cable via USB Adapter is plugged in, but I assume it’s because I don’t have a certified adapter?

      FOS uses linux as its core OS. So any hardware supported by linux is supported by FOS. I personally haven’t seen a line by line listing of supported hardware. If you are using a mainstream network adapter then it should work.

      Lets start with this tutorial: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6350/usb-boot-uefi-client-into-fog-menu-easy-way

      Its simple all you need is a flash drive (128MB or larger, yes MB). Format it as a dos disk and create the uefi boot structure. Take ipxe.efi from your FOG server, copy it to the flash drive and rename it as the tutorial shows. Be sure to disable secure boot then boot from the usb stick.

      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

        Is following https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6350/usb-boot-uefi-client-into-fog-menu-easy-way the same as following: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=USB_Bootable_Media ?

          @jcabuco Yes exactly the same except I don’t get the cred points for directing folks to the wiki 😉 The wiki page was based on that tutorial work.

          Uefi is easy to create boot loader disk. The iPXE route is better with less caveats than booting right into FOS.

            @george1421 was able to create the USB Bootable no problem, but it fails saying no configuration methods succeeded:(

            Guess I have to hunt down a different ethernet adapter? I’m just confused as to why it gets detected when Secure Boot is enabled.

              This is iPXE’s way of saying it doesn’t have a driver for it. There is one other iPXE boot kernel you can try, the universal one snponly.efi. Grab that from your fog server and use the same process of copy and renaming as ipxe.efi. Also if your device has usb 2 and usb 3 slots place the network adapter in the usb 2 (black inside) slots. If you only have the blue ones then that may cause issues too.

                @george1421 thanks, giving that a shot.

                  @jcabuco flash drive didn’t work for the 1040G3, but it did for the 1040G4.

                  What’s really confusing is that I pulled aside two 1040G3’s.

                  One of them is able to PXE boot and fully image with Secure Boot Off, UEFI On.

                  My guess is that there’s something within the BIOS of the 1040G3 that’s different from the other 1040G3. Ugh, at least I’m getting somewhere.

                    @jcabuco What about firmware versions if the hardware is exactly the same? If you have 2 matching systems something has to be different.

                    When you say it didn’t work, what does that mean? Can you take a clear picture of the error/not work with a mobile phone and post it here?

                      @george1421 I’ve got two videos for you. The BIOS Firmware on the problematic one is newer than the one where it works. I’ll try a rollback and see if that makes a difference. Anyways…

                      This is for the remaining problematic 1040G3
