      We just got in some HP EliteBook 840 G2 computers, and I was going to test them to see if I needed to make any changes to the image for deployment on them. When I initially tried to Perform Full Host Registration and Inventory, I received a failure to inventory message, referencing an improper ioctl for device.

      The server was updated to the latest kernel, and now when I try to choose the Full Registration option, the creen just blinks.

      Any ideas what might be the cause?

        Have you tried a different bootfile? undionly.kkpxe perhaps?

          It boots from NIC just fine, and the above settings are already enabled. It is just when it gets to the FOG Computer Cloning Solution Menu that the problems start. When I scroll down to the Perform Full Host Registration and Inventory, the screen blinks, and nothing happens.

          I have been using this on HP EliteBook 840 G1s for months now. These G2s are the new ones, and have SSD instead of hard drives, so I am wondering if that is the problem.

            Did you set the firmware to BIOS mode?

            Advanced > Boot Options > Legacy Boot Order > Legacy Boot Mode
