      @Sebastian-Roth I’m still not sure what you guys mean by that, were am I adding this?

      “Try adding ‘has_usb_nic=1’ as Tom suggested.”

        @Psycholiquid Edit the Full registration menu item. Look for fog.reginput, in the params field add has_usb_nic=1 to the params field and save the item.

        Then boot the system.

            @Scott-Adams This isn’t a built_in argument because most people running FOG are using it for desktops. USB Nic’s are becoming popular but not enough so that I think it would entail everybody having to press enter on their systems.

              @Tom-Elliott OK Params set this is the result.

              https://youtu.be/UmitRjIjm0Y

              I tried using just the USB NIC but it will just loop boot on it. I am having to use the SP4 docking station in order to get to the FOG menu. So basically the USB NIC is the secondary NIC.

              Why cant they ever make this a bit easier.

                This is the menu change I made:

                0_1456254230426_upload-fed87745-021f-4640-baef-09c00f2b3bf8

                  When I take that option out and boot from network to the docking station I am getting this:

                  0_1456254406049_IMG_0562.JPG

                  So I am getting somewhere. I am thinking the ipxe.efi file is good with the the docking station and it gets through to the menu but maybe its the kernel that cant see the drive?

                    When I said params, I was just saying for the boot arguments. I’m sorry. Can you please replace the parameters (I believe they’re blank). ANd add the has_usb_nic=1 to the boot options.

                    So your reginput boot options will become:

                    mode=manreg has_usb_nic=1

                                OK this morning I am updating the FOG server to latest trunk off of SVN and replacing the .pxe files with the old ones. Lets see how this goes.

                                  OK first test after upgrading is the following:

                                  0_1456317916549_IMG_0569.JPG

                                  It doesn’t register the device but does dump some data and then drops me to a prompt.

                                      Working with the OP found out the server had a Single CPU and 1GB of ram.

                                      Upping the CPU to 4, and 4GB of RAM has significantly improved the server’s capabilities including fixing, at least seemingly, the issues with tftp.

                                      My guess the server couldn’t get the tftp file fast enough so the dhcp server would fail to send out the proper information making the system request what IP to use.

                                        OP is now running trunk versions that have the proper errors and handling for nvme. The init’s we have do not contain “find HDD” anymore. So the messages @Psycholiquid was seeing were from an older init (probably when reverting to snapshot) where the HDD code was not handled as “neatly”.

                                          OK little update here. This is the steps as I am taking them.

                                          Hardware in use:
                                          SP4 docking station
                                          SP4 set to boot form network then USB then internal storage
                                          Scope option for DHCP using ipxe.efi

                                          Once the SP4 boot and downloads NBP file it goes to FOG menu without issue (Thank you Tom for seeing my stingy server habits)
                                          Clicking Full Register Host
                                          I am not able ot hit ? on image selection but if I know the number and enter it, it works jsut fine. I am not able ot use default options on some of the menus I have to enter Y/N or wit will just loop.
                                          After entering all information I am able to see it registered in FOG

                                          So DISCO. Now I need to figure out how to clean up the partitioning. But one thing at a time.

                                            OK next snag, I was able to upload the image to the FOG server, no probems there, did all four partitions on a out of the box Surface 4.

                                            Once it reboots and goes to teh FOG menu and I let it sit through the 3 second screen I get the following error:

                                            Chainloading failed, hit ‘s’ for the iPXE shell

                                            Any ideas?
