This obviously didn’t get posted at full length. Please try to add dmesg.txt to your post as an attached file using the upload button just obove the text entering box (right of the smily :-))

Separate question, but do you have any tips on exporting a file in Windows or Mac machine from a Linux box? Haven’t had to do this yet.

You can either use WinSCP, or copy the file to /tftpboot and get it via tftp from windows.

 tftp –i x.x.x.x get dmesg.txt

Where x.x.x.x is the IP of your FOG server.

Please see the attached dmesg.txt file. Thanks again for any insight here

You can also output it to your /var/www/html directory

then just browse to it in a web browser and download it. x.x.x.x/dmesg.txt

Didn’t know that there are Surface Pro 3 devices with eMMC HDD…

...
[    2.163894] mmc0: MAN_BKOPS_EN bit is not set
[    2.187891] mmc0: new HS200 MMC card at address 0001
[    2.188108] mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 HCG8e 58.2 GiB 
[    2.188172] mmcblk0boot0: mmc0:0001 HCG8e partition 1 4.00 MiB
[    2.188245] mmcblk0boot1: mmc0:0001 HCG8e partition 2 4.00 MiB
[    2.217676]  mmcblk0: p1 p2 p3 p4 p5

To make this work you have to set 'Host Primary Disk tp ‘/dev/mmcblk0’ (without the quotes!) in the host settings of this particular devices/host. Please report back.

The ‘Host Primary Disk’ change did the trick! Thanks Uncle Frank! I’m working on testing a Windows 10 deployment.

[Wayne Workman]

Yet another victory with the recent changes to the kernel and the inits to support eMMC !!! BRAVO!

@nicked

We are requesting that all community members who have Surface Pros to please do a packet capture, to capture the DHCP conversation the client sends out at boot time via the ethernet dock, and upload the capture here. The intent is to gather more information about the Surface Pro, so fog can better support network booting it.

Thanks,
Wayne
