No Network Interfaces Found - Dell 7090 Micro

[FunkyBlue]

I have a ton of Dell Micro FF desktops and they all worked with Fog over UEFI. I just got these 7090 models in and I have managed to get it to boot up to the Fog menu, but when I go to do a full registration to import the machine into the server, it stops at No Network Interfaces Found - No driver. I’ve updated the bzImage and bzImage32 to version 5.15.34, no luck. Set up DHCP for snponly.efi (which is what got me this far). Every other forum I’ve read through for the last 2 days have yielded no more progress.

Network card is listed as “Intel i219-LM”

Anyone have any suggestions?

@funkyblue Ok you’ve done the basics of debugging here.

So lets do some advanced stuff.

Get the mac address of this 7090 network adapter.

In fog, manually register that host (in host management) with the collected mac interface. Now schedule a deploy image to that computer, we are not going to deploy anything during the debugging process. Before you hit the schedule task button tick the debug check box then schedule the task.

PXE boot the target computer, it should go right into imaging where you will not see the fog ipxe menu. After a few screens of text that you will need to clear with the enter key you will be dropped at the fos linux command prompt on the target computer.

Now I want you to run these debugging commands to help identify that hardware. Take a screen shot of the output. I’m most interesting in the hex codes that appear between the squared brackets on the next command.
lspci -nn | grep -i net

This should list all of the network adapters installed in that computer. I need the hex code to know what kernel model is missing.

Also run this command to get the kernel version uname -a

The next command we need to search the syslog to see if there are any messages regarding missing firmware.

grep -i firm /var/log/messages That should return any lines where firmware is mentioned. For certain network adapters updated firmware (microcode) may be required. These need to be included in the custom kernel.

Post a clear picture of the output of these commands and I will check the kernel (bzImage) for the needed drivers.

I will try and do it today. I’m getting ready to leave for vacation over the weekend in a couple hours, so it may be on Monday.
