HP Stream 11 pro

@drc0nc Any new on this? I’d really love to see this working!

[drc0nc]

@Sebastian-Roth Sorry, I haven’t tried booting iPXE via USB yet. But I have tried all the other pxe binaries through the network. It all comes to the same result. It just likes to turn the nic off and hang right after init.xz

[Sebastian Roth]

@drc0nc We were just able to get some UEFI enabled devices up and running. See here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6092/cannot-boot-into-fog-menu-in-uefi-mode

You might try updating to the latest trunk and see if this works for you as well. Enable UEFI and use ipxe.efi…

[drc0nc]

@Sebastian-Roth awesome, will try today and will let you know!

[drc0nc]

@Sebastian-Roth Holy cow! that let me boot past init.xz!!! Now I’m getting the error Cannot find HDD on system when running host reg

i followed this also https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence

[Tom Elliott]

@drc0nc oh damn it.

Let me guess, it isn’t working at all and you’re running kernel 4.3.0?

[drc0nc]

@Tom-Elliott lol yea, latest svn and kernel 4.3.0 I’m not sure as to why it’s not seeing a HDD
btw thanks for all the help so far and have a good veterans day Tom, I’m also a vet

[Tom Elliott]

Can you change the Kernel out to the 4.2.3 variant?

I’ll recompile the 4.3.0 kernel so the RPMBD issue is fixed for the mmc devices.

[drc0nc]

@Tom-Elliott will do, same problem… (why is the image upside down lol?)

[drc0nc]

update, this is what it shows if I ignore

[Sebastian Roth]

Looks pretty good to me. To make this work you need to set “Host Primary Disk” to ‘/dev/mmcblk0’ (without the quotes!) in the host settings of this particular host. Please give it a try and see if you can upload an image…

[drc0nc]

@Sebastian-Roth YES! It’s currently pulling an image, I had to set it to do a multiple partition disk non re-sizable… I’ll update you guys if I can deploy it after it completes the pull

Thanks again to all that helped!

[drc0nc]

I got an image to successfully deploy! Now about 60 more to go!

@drc0nc Can you please let us know exactly what boot file you’re using, what kernel version, what kernel arguments, and what you put in the host disk fields? Basically anything specific to this device.

We need to put this information into the WiKi under the working hardware lists for others to benefit from.

[drc0nc]

@Wayne-Workman Alright, here’s the specs and I hope it will help people with their HP’s
Fog version: svn 5293
Boot file:ipxe.efi
Kernel: 4.2.3 (4.3.0 wasn’t working at the time for this specific problem)
Kernel arg: has_usb_nic=1
Host disk: /dev/mmcblk0 (this was important, fog wasn’t recognizing the HDD unless this was valid.)
Using an Ethernet to usb adapter that has an ASIX AX88772B in it.

[Wayne Workman]

hash tagging this so I can find it later for addition to the wiki.
EDIT: Added

@Tom-Elliott @Wayne-Workman @Sebastian-Roth

Hey guys. Sorry to bug but as I continue to tackle these HP streams I ran into another problem that popped up. The specs are the same, I’m still running svn 5293 (had to reinstall fog because i had a HHD totally fail)
same boot ipxe.efi
same kernel 4.2.3
same kernel arg and host disk.
I can pull images just fine using undionly.kkpxe on my lenovos

yet the streams just wont pull an image (sorry for potato quality)
