@chevengur there is not enough information to help you in that picture. If we could see more of the error message that partclone threw (i.e. just above the top of your picture) we would know what happened. At the point in the script all we know is that partclone wasn’t happy.

@JasonNaughton This is a strange one. The linux kernel just doesn’t just invent mac addresses. It would be interesting to look up the first 6 characters of the mac address to see if you could identify the manufacturer.

So are you saying there are 4 physical nics in this computer. LOM, PCie 1, PCie 2? Does that mac address belong to the LOM?

I can say that we are dealing with 2 kernels here. The iPXE boot loader, and FOS Linux. Its technically possible to get to the fog ipxe menu and then when you start up FOS it doesn’t get an IP address because either the nic order has changed or there is missing firmware that is needed to init certain nics.

@Tom-Elliott thx👍

@jacaman Does this happen with every HP computer or just one in specific? Does this happen with any other brand/model of computer? Have you tried deploying that same image to another computer? Have you tried replacing any component of the HP computer: HDD/SSD/NVMe, RAM, network adapter (dongle instead of embedded port)?

Please see if this helps? Specifically the task related items. Sometimes stale (old/bad items suddenly show up from long ago.) admittedly I’d love to know what caused (or causes?) this but it has so far eluded me this far.

@Tom-Elliott Thank you. Logging out with 1.5.10.1730 works properly.

@DanCan Hi This is currently a known issue on some motherboards. Honestly not sure what is causing this to happen. I am working on a fix to this issue just haven’t had too much time lately.

@george1421 No, they were in proper failover config and the options replicated between the scopes. But it’s all good now and that’s the important thing ❤

@Tom-Elliott to note, this has been happening on all our Lenovo L14s laptops (with no LAN ports), tested with 3 different Lenovo USB-C LAN Adaptors

When booting back up, it brings the Blue screen error:

‘Recovery
Your PC couldn’t start properly
After multiple tries, the operating system on your PC failed to start, so it needs to be repaired.
Error code: 0xc0000001
You’ll need to use recovery tools. If you don’t have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.
Press Enter to try again
Press F1 to enter Recovery Environment
Press F8 for Startup Settings
Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings’

As John mentioned, we used the same LAN adaptor previously and managed to image via FOG successfully before.

i even tried changing the mac address to the default internal laptop mac address after the initial fog image completed (when it shutdowns the laptop) and booted the laptop back up to see if it helps but no luck

@AngryITGuy First let me say I don’t use FOG for image deployment any more since I’ve moved to a different IT group, but if this situation hit my desk I would go through a similar process as below

I have more questions than answers for you. But the good thing here is FOG is imaging these systems and can deploy windows 10 to the hardware without issue. Right away we can rule out fog’s foundational support system being broken because it can deploy win10 and win11 to other hardware and win10 to this stone hardware.

When I debug something new or strange I try to build a truth table in my head of different experiments to see what works and what not works. Something like:

Deploy and boot win10 Dell laptop: Yes
Deploy and boot win11 Dell laptop: Yes
Deploy and boot win10 Stone laptop: Yes
Deploy and boot win11 Stone laptop: No (kind of)

So now to the unknown questions (and I assume these stone laptops are in uefi mode, you mentioned ‘bios’, but your boot loader is ipxe.efi.

On this stone laptops do you have pxe setup as the default boot source or is it the hard drive? This question is to see if the boot is failing if you are booting through ipxe.efi or if the firmware is having a problem finding the boot partition. If you are booting through iPXE see if changing the boot order to the hard drive solves the issue (for this test).

You will need to turn off secure boot for this next step. If you swap the hard drives between the dell and stone computer, does the stone computer boot normally repeated times? Does the dell computer reboot repeated times OK? This check is to see if the problem moves with the hard drive. The question is around if fog combined with the disk controller hardware on the stone doing something to damage the boot sector for win11 when it deploys. The dells works, can you get the stone computers working by deploying to a dell and then transplanting the hard drive to the stone?

If you deploy win10 and then upgrade to win11 on a stone laptop (verify its working 100%) and then capture and deploy to a same make and model computer. Does it boot correctly on the second computer? Can you deploy it to the same computer it was captured from and does it work? This will test if there is something wrong with your win11 image you are trying to deploy to the stone computer.

Lets see how the above goes before we plot the next test.

Just to recap

Test booting through iPXE vs firmware booting directly to hard drive Swap the hard drives between the dells and stone computers see if the problem moves Try to capture and deploy using the same hardware. First to like computer if no work, try to deploy to same computer image was captured from.
