Issues with deployment to Dell Precision 3450
-
Hello all,
My production fog server doesn’t work, obviously. The issue that I’m getting is, when I try to do a host registration (quick or full), it always fails at the hard drive test. It says that the hard drive can’t be found. Obviously, I have a hard drive in the client computer. I run a compatibility test in the FOG pxe interface, and it passes the network test, but doesn’t pass the disk test. Furthermore, the interface states that this information may be useful:
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller [0200]: intel corporation device [8086:15f9] (rev 11)
Don’t know why, as this isn’t an NIC issue, but maybe it is, I can’t tell. I’ve been having this issue for a WHILE. I’ve already switch kernels countless times to custom kernels, and official releases. I’ve updated FOG itself, everything. I’d imagine that I would need to create a custom kernel with the drivers for this particular motherboard/hard drive, but I wouldn’t even know where to start, to be honest. ANY Input and guidance would be GREATLY appreciated, since I need for this fog server to be fully operational in a couple of weeks, and these Dells are a large majority of the environment this server is being built for. I’m willing to do any reading and learning, just send the links. Thank you.

Dell usually sets the drives to RAID in the BIOS.
Fog doesn’t recognize RAID drives, you have to set it to AHCI. -
@ToneZ82 Why the double post?
