@george1421 Update.

So we did some more testing and it turns out that the Intel Volume Management Device setting in our system BIOS is whats causing the issue with our NVMe drive. We found this because even after getting FOG to successfully push an image to the drive, Windows was unable to boot from it. We disabled the VMD setting and the PCI device is no longer addressed on an extended root hub and Windows booted normally, so we tested this with the orignal bzImage as well and it all still works as expected.

@george1421 Alright, just as a note I did some further testing by mixing different refind binaries and conf files. It seems something from the conf file in the dev branch is whats causing the issue because I was able to boot properly by using the master branch conf regardless of the refind binary being used.

@george1421 I did, one of the first issues I had (and this was before I even started having a problem with Windows booting) was in the new conf the ‘scanfor internal’ option was changed to ‘scanfor internal,hdbios’ which caused refind to look for BIOS boot loaders as well. That caused an immediate interrupt on my systems because they are all EFI with CSM disabled. I manually changed that line to get rEFInd to work properly, and it was at that point that I ran into the issues with Windows.

So I did more testing with the conf files now, and it seems that the scan delay is whats causing the issue. I downloaded a fresh copy of the refind binary and conf from the FOG dev-branch and made the scanfor line change as well as commented out the ‘scan_delay 5’ line. As of now, the configuration is working.

I used the conf file at https://svn.code.sf.net/p/freeghost/code/trunk/kernel/TomElliott.config.64 as a base

@george1421 It’s a dell precision 5820 Desktop with a Hynix PC401 drive. Also this is done on FOG 1.5.0-RC13 with the latest kernel.

@george1421 sure, how can I send the .config file, the forum keeps telling me it only accepts image formats.

Alright so I went ahead and regenerated the kernel with ‘make menuconfig’ pretty much with any options for PCI set to yes and any options involving NVMe also set to yes and it now recognizes the drive and passes FOG compatabillity.

So we just got a new Dell Precision system with a Hynix PC401 NVMe drive. It seems that FOG isn’t recognizing that the drive is there. We did all the basic checks (secure boot, UEFI configuration, etc.) and can confirm that it is likely not an issue with the system itself. We did some testing with Clonezilla using the same Linux kernel version that FOG is currently using (4.15) and Clonezilla is able to detect and hook the drive. This led me to believe that there is something in the kernel configuration between clonezilla and fog that is causing FOG to not have the correct drivers for the device. I haven’t had a chance to look over the config used to make Clonezilla’s Kernel, but I did look through the suggested conf for generating the TomElliot kernel and it seems it may be missing some options for loading a SCSI NVMe drive (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME_SCSI is not set). Problem is that when I tried generating my own kernel for FOG with the option set, the option gets eliminated in the make process. Does anybody have any idea if there may be a different option which could have replaced this one in recent kernel updates, or if this is even potentially the cause of the problem I’m having?

@george1421 I did, one of the first issues I had (and this was before I even started having a problem with Windows booting) was in the new conf the ‘scanfor internal’ option was changed to ‘scanfor internal,hdbios’ which caused refind to look for BIOS boot loaders as well. That caused an immediate interrupt on my systems because they are all EFI with CSM disabled. I manually changed that line to get rEFInd to work properly, and it was at that point that I ran into the issues with Windows.

So I did more testing with the conf files now, and it seems that the scan delay is whats causing the issue. I downloaded a fresh copy of the refind binary and conf from the FOG dev-branch and made the scanfor line change as well as commented out the ‘scan_delay 5’ line. As of now, the configuration is working.

@george1421 Alright, just as a note I did some further testing by mixing different refind binaries and conf files. It seems something from the conf file in the dev branch is whats causing the issue because I was able to boot properly by using the master branch conf regardless of the refind binary being used.

@george1421 Alright so I did the test with 0.11.2, same issue…BUT you gave me the idea of using the refind binary and conf file from the master FOG branch rather than the latest dev…works perfectly.

@george1421 correct this is happening when simply booting through the ipxe menu with refind. The default exit setting (refind) is being used since all other exit options were causing a loop at the ipxe menu. Also the warm restart resulted in windows booting correctly as well.
