Intel NUC iPXE stuck
-
Hi,
all new Intel NUC Kits don’t get past “iPXE initialising devices…”. I tested all files in /tftpboot without success so far.
Is anyone else working with these devices and has a solution ? -
Okay, I’ve come a little further now. It seems that there is a difference between booting the lan devices and doing a network boot via F12, weird but hey its working.
But now I can’t image the PC, it just skips the partclone part and say’s “Done…Updating Database”.

Is this an upload or a download job?

Download. There are a bunch of errors before the Task starts, probably due to missing USB3 port drivers. I’ve attached some pictures.[ATTACH]1276[/ATTACH][ATTACH]1277[/ATTACH][ATTACH]1278[/ATTACH]

I don’t think it’s due to missing USB3.0 drivers as I’ve been including USB3 for quite some time. I have seen funny errors with USB3 ports though and I have yet to be able to fix them. Does the Box have an Non SSB ports that you could put the keyboard or mouse into?
Also,
Is it possible that you get a snapshot of the Client Compatibility?

Only the front USB Port is marked SSB. The two on the back are 2.0 Ports, thats where I’ve plugged in keyboard and mouse.
I’ll make a snapshot of the compatibillity screen when I’m back at the office on monday. -
Cool,
Thank you.
-
Here’s the promised snapshot.

BUMP.
Still no progress on this. I’ve tried a few kernel’s but most of them end up in a “kernel panic”.

The screen shots you’ve provided for the Compatibility modes and even the modes where it’s “imaging” just to writing anything to the hard drive seem to show otherwise from a “kernel panic” stand point. What’s the exact message you’re getting with the kernel panics? Also, can you try the latest tftp files (undionly,ipxe) as there was some updates to deal with the intel ICH8 chipset networking drivers.

iPXE seems to work fine now. The “Published Kernels” work till 3.6.9. The Unofficial Kernel [FONT=Ubuntu][COLOR=#555555]3.15.4 dose this:[/COLOR][/FONT]
P.S. All working kernels skip partimage.

Hi, I am attempting to use Intel NUC’s on our network as well.
Does anyone know of a working setup that I can test out, I currently have ~30 of the new style Intel i5 NUC and a working method for FOG would be very beneficial. Would be great if someone could enlighten me so I can image these.
Thanks in advance

Have you simply tried using the latest fog stuff? From my reading I could recommend, possibly, SVN trunk of fog rather than one of the “stable” builds.

Hi,
Currently we are using FOG 0.32 with the latest kernel 3.14.2 depending on the architecture of the kernel we are getting two different errors…
The NUC that we are using are the i5 model with a 120GB SSD. I am trying to upload the image from the device so that it can then be deployed to the rest of them.
I am getting this error with 3.14.2 x64
[ATTACH]1342[/ATTACH]
And this one for x86 - it is as if there is no communication between the drive in the device.
[ATTACH]1344[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1345[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1343[/ATTACH]
I have tried this with Fog v1.1.2 on a separate physical box and had the same result (With the addition that I couldn’t add machines to the domain, probably a setup issue my end though) so reverted to our old already set-up 0.32 version.
Thanks for your help and very speedy reply earlier

Try a different kernel, 3.8.8 or something like that worked. You still won’t be able to image correctly though.
-
I tried kernel version 3.8.8 and still get “no partitions found” after being presented with a screen displaying at a higher resolution with text.

Thanks for your response, but the original issue remains. I’m sure more people will start using these NUC’s as they are very cost effective and are perfect for educational establishments and will probably encounter our issues if using FOG… It’s a great solution for everything else we have but these NUC’s are troublemakers!

Can you try a later version of fog? Possibly get into Debug mode as well?
-
Hi,
I have now upgraded to version 1.2.0 and the Intel NUC hangs on this screen… on the older version it continued past this but displayed an error. This is with kernel version 3.14.2 x86 - I can see it says i8042 no controller found on a previous screen and maybe that has something to do with it?
The NUC is using a 120GB Crucial SSD in the mSATA slot.

We are also having issues with this version joining our domain. The error in the log i’ve checked is ‘Unknown Error: Code 87’ on a different machine that previously worked.Thanks for your time, I hope the information provided helps…

At this screen.
Can you attempt to put the system into upload - debug. At the command prompt that comes up, type fixparts and confirm the changes.
Then run the command fog.
-
Hi,
I’ve ran fixparts and it complained that partitions were dodgy on dev/sda1 - it didn’t fix this.
Partitions #1 #2 #3 #4 were apparently too large which the tool then said it had deleted three times but the same warning cropped up. I ignored this in the end and tried to re-upload the image after doing fixparts and I am now getting a completely different error which i’m still at a loss on how to solve.
If i push return it then says task complete but I don’t think it actually does complete it as the web interface says no data still. These NUC’s are little troublemakers!

Again, thanks for your time with this issue.
