Fast TSC Calibration Error, unable to register and inventory

[UCJared]

I am having the same issue as the OP above. The Perform Full Registration option never prompts me to enter the Host name but says “attempting to send inventory” and scrolls endlessly.

If I boot to the Fog PXE menu and select Client System Information (Compatibility), and then option 4) Check Fog Compatibility, the Disk passes and the Network fails.

Is this a driver issue? We’re imaging a new batch of HP ProDesk 600 G2 and ProBook 645 G1 and G2 PCs and the problem is the same across these machines.

@UCJared please try updating the kernels. There’s a thread here somewhere showing what commands should be run.

@UCJared Did you ever find an solution to this issue? I am having the same problem with the ProDesk.

@swhite @UCJared Please try to find out which NIC/ethernet card (vendor, model, possibly PCI-IDs) you have in your ProDesk/ProBook machines. As well it would be helpful to know the version of FOG (see in the blue cloud on the web GUI) and kernel (command file /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/bzImage on your FOG server) you are running!

A quick search for “HP ProDesk 600” brought up the Intel I217LM onboard NIC. Is that correct? Support for this NIC was added with kernel 3.5.x…

@Sebastian-Roth Hi Sebastian,
The NIC on my ProDesk is listed as Intel I219-LM and the hardware ID is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_15B7&SUBSYS_805D103C&REV_31

I am running Fog 1.2.0 with kernel version 3.15.6

Support for the Intel I219-LM (PCI 8086:15b7) was added even later - linux kernel 4.1and after. See here: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/E1000E.html

@UCJared @Sebastian-Roth
I was able to get my ProDesk 600 G2 to upload using the Kernel - 4.1.2 TomElliott.

Marking this solved for now. Please open another post if you see a similar issue and let us know about your exact client specs (NIC, …).

@mattyb Run this command to just download the latest kernels in place.
