If it was me I would surely test the 5.6.18 kernel because that is the Official FOG release. I would be curious to know if 5.6.18 worked or do you need to use bzImageRT to get the nic to work. Please test 5.6.18 first and let us know.
-
Yes it works with the 5.6.18 !

But I have this message:
-
@jps Interesting one. Do you use USB devices on that machine?
Seems like this is not specific to 5.x kernels but has been in 4.x as well: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=236536
-
No I don’t use an USB device.
-
@jps Does it hang on that screen or does it proceed to the end and finish the task?
-
It proceed to the end and finish the task.
-
@jps Ok, then you don’t need to worry about the message.
-
It is still necessary to update the file ?
-
@jps You mean the kernel? Not as long as imaging works.
-
It only works at 100 Mbits.
-
@jps said in Maj bzimage:
It only works at 100 Mbits.
This is the first time you mention this.
When you reboot the machine to it’s installed OS, does it run on gigabit then? Just want to make sure we are looking at a driver problem here.
-
When I test with the 5.6.18 it works at 1Gb.
-
@jps Then I’d say you better use the “unofficial” 5.6.18 kernel.
-
When I use the “unofficial” 5.6.18 kernel I can’t connect the machine Dell 5500/5300 in 100 MB or 1 GB.

“unofficial” 5.6.18
Just so I’m clear, what do we mean unofficial? Is this the one that is downloaded from the FOG servers using the built in FOG web ui or my one-off kernel?
For these Dell 5500’s can you provide the hardware IDs of this network adapter? It will be in device manager -> device -> details -> hardware IDs. The value we need looks like this
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15BB&CC_0200Also how are these network adapters connect to the computer? Are they built in, usb dongle, WD19 port replicator, how?Lastly what do you mean you can’t connect? Do you see the FOG iPXE menu, or you can see the menu but when you pick an option FOS Linux can’t see the network adapter?
-
I repeat what Sebastian says “unoffical”, I mean “Kernel.TomElliott.5.6.18.64” . The hardware IDs is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15BE&CC_0200 built in. When I pick an option FOS Linux can’t get an adresse IP from DHCP and don’t know if FOS see the network adapter.
-
@jps The network adapter 8086:15BE first appeared in the linux kernel 4.12 and exists in these kernels [ 4.12–4.20, 5.0–5.8 ]. With that said 5.6.18 should have the required driver installed. (it should just work).
To debug this issue schedule another deploy/capture task but before you hit the schedule task button tick the debug checkbox then schedule the task.
PXE boot the 5300 or 5500 computer. After a few screens of text you need to clear with the enter key you will be dropped to a linux command prompt on the target computer. This is the FOS Linux command prompt.
Please post the results of the following commands. (a clear screen shot of the text taken with a mobile phone will work here).
lspci -nn | grep -i netip a suname -aLets start with those. I have another command for you to key in but lets make sure we are getting an output of those first.
