I have tested as well, and these PCs only image when connected to a gigabit port, No all I have to do is persuade the network manager to let me have gigabit ports for imaging rarther than the standard 100Mb he restricts everyone to.

@george1421
That is correct, It is looking like a Kernel bug, so FOG will have to await a fix in a future kernel. I’m not sure who in teh Kernel devs would be best to talk to about getting the tg3 driver fixed however.

@Tom-Elliott
I have tried 3 of the 50Pcs we have and 2 have registered and not imaged, 1 has failed to register.

I have updated one to the latest BIOS using the built-in updater

It all appears to work fine under Windows and our image will work with it, and install the drivers once the PC has it on the disk.

I found this bug report on kernel.org
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12877

It looks like the bug fixed in 2009 has kicked in again.
I shall register there and see what I can do to get it fixed.

@george1421
I can image using other models without a problem (and my colleague has been to make sure that the various images work with the new model by using a spare PC to write the image to disk to put in a 705 DM) I can pint the FOG server from the command line before the “tg3_stop_block” errors.
I have tried mounting the NFS share, which sometimes completes but I am then unable to list any of the contents.
after the “tg3_stop_block” errors the IP is shown as still associated, but the NIC is down and unresponsive.
I think it is a kernel bug and will try and find out who to send any error messages to there. But until a fix or less awkward workaround is found I think these PCs are not compatible with FOG.

@Andrew-ASPH
running the fog deploy debug mode on the one PC I managed to get to register, it always crashes out attempting to mount or use the NFS images share

I have install Kubuntu on it from a USB stick, the Intel WiFI works fine, the Broadcom NIC is recognized and has the same error
