      My company has recently ordered 250 Elitepad 1000 tablets. I have created the base image on one of the tablets and was ready to push the image up to FOG (1.2.0 on Kubuntu 14.04) but I can’t get the tablets to boot PXE. I cannot enable legacy boot mode, because it’s not an option on these devices.

      When I boot the tablet to PXE, it grabs an IP address and then gives me the error [I]“Selected boot image did not Authenticate. Press <Enter> to Continue.”[/I]

      I disabled Secure Boot and tried again. Now I get the error[I] “The selected boot device failed. Press <Enter> to Continue.”[/I]

      My Linux knowledge is extremely limited, so be easy on me.

        I compiled three binaries with debugging enabled for you, find them atteched! I’d be very interested to see the debugging output… please take a picture of even video.

        Please try out snp.efi or snponly.efi instead of ipxe.efi as well! Do they all fail at the same point (I doubt it!)…

          The factory images these things somehow… they should offer imaging services before shipment IMO.

          It really sucks that we couldn’t get this going faster…

          But, seeing that this IS a windows tablet, your imaging needs for them are not likely to just go away. You’ll probably have to come back to this problem sooner or later. IMO, I think we should work towards a solution for these before then.

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

            Well, I’ve had to shelf this project as it was taking up entirely way too much of my time and I’ve been unable to complete other tasks. We hired an outside firm to clone the tablets, and they’re having just as much trouble as I did. Not looking good at all.

              Yeah I’ve gotten pretty far between tutorials and the almighty Google.

                You’ve made it pretty far with “NO” Linux knowledge. So you’ll be able to learn the rest too I reckon. Please make yourself familiar with GNU MAKE and play around with building your own ipxe binarys ([url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/build-ipxe-from-source.10152/[/url]).
                We try hard to answer all the questions properly but we can’t give a step by step solution for everything. No offense! 🙂

                  What’s the literal?

                  Again, keep in mind I have NO Linux knowledge. In the past 20 years all I’ve dealt with is DOS & Windows-based OS

                    Don’t add the literal …

                    It’s to include any of the other options you normally would.

                      [quote=“Uncle Frank, post: 44071, member: 28116”]Sorry if my last comment wasn’t clear. With “you’d still need to chainload iPXE” I meant that using SmscUsbNetUtility.efi doesn’t help at all as you need iPXE to use FOG (version 1.2.0 and newer)!

                      I didn’t have much time today so I had no chance to really find out where this “Boot Succeeded - Ethernet IPV4” is coming from. It’s definitely not iPXE. I guess it’s the manufacturer binary that’s burned into the NIC ROM. So it seams like iPXE hands back to the NIC at some point…?!?[/quote]

                      Very well could be, these Elitepad 1000 tablets are pretty new so it doesn’t surprise me that the issues I’m having are undocumented.

                      [quote=“Uncle Frank, post: 44071, member: 28116”]Maybe it’s time to get into compiling your own iPXE binary with debugging ON!

                      [CODE]make … DEBUG=efi_init,efi_snp[/CODE][/quote]

                      Hmmm, when I run this in the console, what should I expect for an output? Probably not what I got.

                          Yeah I’m waiting for his response, as when I hear chainloading, I think of putting chains in the back of my truck. :rolleyes:

                            You still have to setup the chainloading, as Uncle Frank said.

                            I’m new to it, Uncle Frank will have to confirm if [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Chainloading_PXE_to_iPXE_using_pxelinux.0’]THIS[/URL] will do it, or help at all.

                              Well, just got around to installing the file on the server and still no boot. Not it hangs at “Boot Succeeded - Ethernet IPV4” for about 20 seconds and brings me back to the choice of IPv4 or IPv6 boot.

                              Head > Desk > Repeat.

                                  Sure it will! I saw that on their website too. But what will it do?? To get FOG running you’d still need to chainload iPXE…

I cannot use the USB Ethernet adapters, only the dock’s Ethernet adapter which is really just a USB one. I have secure boot disabled, but there’s no legacy boot mode on these tablets.

                                    I did find a UNDI driver on the manufacturer’s website. They listed it as “LAN95xx and LAN7500 UEFI PXE (UNDI) Driver” I’m going to import that to the server and see if I can use that file “SmscUsbNetUtility.efi” tomorrow since it’s quitting time.

                                          Let me explain: Your network card requests an IP via DHCP and loads the boot image over the network, first step done. Now iPXE has to detect your network card to be able to talk on the network and request things via TFTP and HTTP. This is where things go wrong I suppose. iPXE can either use native drivers (someone has to write a driver for each and every piece of hardware) or UNDI (see here for more information about this: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/IPXE[/url]). As far as I could find out this piece of hardware should actually be able to talk UNDI. The only native driver I could find in iPXE source code is smc9000 which seems to only support LAN91xx devices and it’s kind of old anyway.

                                          And then there is another thing. BIOS vs. (U)EFI. As you already saw undionly.kpxe is not working for you. That’s only made for BIOS type PCs. You need to use .efi files OR you need to switch your elitepad to legacy BIOS mode (not 100% sure if this can be done, a quick search on the web mentioned something like this). iPXE support on BIOS is definitely a lot better than with EFI (see here: [url]http://ipxe.org/efi/vision[/url])! As you see there are a lot of combinations and it’s up to you to fiddle with those till you get it right. Although there is no garantee that it’ll work (see below) there is a high chance that you will learn a lot about all those things and hopefully will get it working too!!

                                          With some of our EFI Macintoshs I had to compile my own patched version of iPXE to get it working. See here on how to build your own iPXE files: [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/build-ipxe-from-source.10152/[/url]

                                            Using the HSTNN-C75X dock with a TekRepublic TUN-300 dedicated to the FOG VM. I can use a TUN-300 attached to the Elitepad, but then it only runs on battery because there’s only a single port on the tablet.

                                            The dock’s ethernet adapter shows up as [B]LAN9512/LAN9514 USB 2.0 to Ethernet 10/100 Adapter[/B] with the hardware ID being [B]USB\VID_0424&PID_EC00$REV_0200[/B]

                                            I updated to the beta version of FOG (3121) but still nadda. Tried ipxe.efi snp.efi and default.kpxe
