Success!! Thank you kindly. We ended up using the ThinkPad OneLink+ to RJ45 Adapters for the deployment but they let me keep a laptop to test the FOSL usb. I have learned a valuable lesson for the next time. Thank you for incredible help and assistance. One question, can the FOSL usb safely be removed after the task has started ?

Thank you all and Cheers!

Thanks for the replies! Thank you for the clarification on the file locations. Secure boot and security chip are both disabled. Updated to 1.3.0-rc2 and have the same symptoms. I actually have a firmware newer than what is posted on lenovo’s site (1.43) but I downgraded one to the latest posted on lenovo.com (1.42) and tested with the same results. Pinging the laptop results in “host unreachable” as soon as I make my selection or deploy image.

New development, we received the (FRU) service Part Number: 03X7014, NIC/VGA adapter today and that works out of the box. At this point we will likely purchase new dongles as we are in a crunch to get these laptops out. I am willing to try any suggestions as long as we have the laptops in the shop.

Do I set my log level in the “Host Kernel Arguments?”

Hi Folks,

First of all thank you all for your fog excellency! I am having a similar issue as:

Re: Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 260 w/Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter FRU:03x6903

I am using ubuntu 14.04 and SVN Revision: 5937. Same symptom when legacy booting but sudburr seems to have had success with UEFI. However, I cannot seem to get these Yoga 260’s to load past the fog menu. I have used fog with these dongles on the Thinkpad Yoga S1 last year (700+). Using UEFI boot and no kernel parameters, I can get to fog menu, I make a selection and it hangs after (blank sreen with a backlight if there is no task or what “init.xz…ok” and freeze if I have a task scheduled. If I enter ipxe.efi or snp.efi or snponly.efi I receive “ipxe.efi…No such file or directory” and if I navigate to IPaddress/fog/service/ipxe/ I do not see the referenced files.

All I see is

Should I see my ipxe.efi listed here ? I am hoping for some guidance on the next steps to troubleshoot …thank you!
