Trouble imaging HP x360's
-
This is an update to: (https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/17824/selecting-deploy-an-image-boots-to-text-menu). I couldn’t edit it so I’m referencing it here. Sorry for any confusion caused.
In the body below I have added some pictures for reference and some of my software running on this system.
Greetings,
FOG 1.5.10 running on (K)ubuntu server 24.04 VM, on top of Proxmox 8.3.3.
I am relatively inexperienced with troubleshooting software and I have a problem. We are trying to image 200 HP Elitebook x360 830 13 inch G10 2 in 1 NoteBook PC’s using kubuntu 24.04. I have managed to capture an image. But for every attempt to apply an image to clients I get:
Because the this model has no ethernet port, had to spoof the MAC of an USB 3.0 to ethernet dongle. to capture the image. To deploy the image, I ave tried checking off i.m.c. and i.m.i. I thought that somehow my issue was related to the host / images MAC.
Initially, configuring the client’s firmware to actually pxe boot and the image the unit from a host already on the system, I needed to register the client. However, after this I was unable to image another w/o deleting host on the server. Still it felt like the HP windows centric firmware was some how in the way. Now not so sure. So, I need some troubleshooting tips so my clients get to the images menu. Get that far and the rest is history. Let me know what kind of information needed to help with my issue.

@Mr_____T Well, I have discovered a work around. According to our consultant, the legacy wrapper message in the 1st or 2nd image was kinda the key. the X360 has no wired nic port and the usb nic adabter is recognized as a legacy booting device. But the unit only boots efi. I followed this link for starters:
Next I added the MAC addresses from each usb dongle I have available. Then, from the fog web interface:
list all hosts
Select the host
Basic Tasks tab
Deploy tab
Task (I first checked debug and followed the bread crumbs no issues)
Imaging commenced.This is quite a bit more work than I was hoping to do just to image one machine. I was hoping someone out there could come out of the fog (pun intended) and provide some feedback.
So this is not solved. But a work around that does. If you got this far Tx
