UEFI-PXE-Boot (Asus t100 Tablet)

@K.Hays said in UEFI-PXE-Boot (Asus t100 Tablet):

all other computers work just fine to image.

@K.Hays Well, the problem you’re describing isn’t a fog problem. It’s a firmware or adapter or network issue. You’re not even getting to the point of communicating with the fog server at all.

[Junkhacker]

and you’ve been able to use fog with non-uefi systems prior to these tests with uefi, right?

[K.Hays]

@Wayne-Workman I can attempt to update the firmware, but I feel like that probably isn’t the issue. We have an HP laptop that we put into UEFI mode to help us troubleshoot and it is doing the same thing as the tablets, and it’s not using a USB adapter.

[Wayne Workman]

@K.Hays Firmware update.

[K.Hays]

@Wayne-Workman the two adapters do that, and the other one isn’t recognized as a boot option. It’s only capable of uefi also.

[Wayne Workman]

@K.Hays Can you try to change the firmware mode? If it’s in BIOS, put it in UEFI, if it’s in UEFI, try BIOS. Also can you check for firmware updates?

What do the other adapters do?

[K.Hays]

@Wayne-Workman no

[Wayne Workman]

@K.Hays Anything happening before that?

[K.Hays]

@Wayne-Workman

[K.Hays]

@Scott-Adams same thing happened.

[Wayne Workman]

@K.Hays Can we have a photo of what you’re seeing?

[Scott Adams]

@K.Hays Ok. Let’s try this. Remove the “has_usb_nic=1” from FOG_KERNEL_ARGS.

Next, manually create a host from the Web UI with the MAC address of the USB nic you are using (the one that you found should work).

On that host, change your Host Kernel to bzImage32 (as I believe the T100 is a 32bit device). Then, enter “has_usb_nic=1” (minus the quotes) for Host Kernel Arguments.

[K.Hays]

@Scott-Adams yessir

[Scott Adams]

@K.Hays Nope. Just on the DHCP server. Just so we’re not overlooking the obvious, you are setting the boot file (option 67) on the IP scope that your plugged into right?

[K.Hays]

@Scott-Adams I just have to switch bootfiles on the dhcp correct? I dont have to do it anywhere else?

[K.Hays]

@Scott-Adams Just sits at that screen

[Scott Adams]

@K.Hays Do you get to a different point or does it still sit at the “Start pxe over ipv4”?

There are several .efi files to choose from (ipxe.efi, snp.efi, snponly.efi, realtek.efi, intel.efi)

[K.Hays]

@Scott-Adams Didn’t work. Were also testing it with a Uefi laptop with a built in port and it’s also not working.

[K.Hays]

@K.Hays Secure boot is off, we are just about to test out the rest of what you stated Scott.
Wayne, all other computers work just fine to image. The main adapter we are using is
Asus 90-XB3900CA00040- USB 2.0 to Ethernet Adapter
