@george1421 Resolved: A 3rd party package in my router was intercepting my outbound FTP connections.

So all good here.

Did FOS Linux have the driver enabled for that 10GbE card (i.e. were you able to image with FOG once you got past the iPXE menu)?

FWIW: For uefi mode snp.efi or snponly.efi should work if undionly.kpxe worked in bios mode. I’m saying it should because ConnectX3 is a somewhat older card (circa 2017/2018).

@Small0145 No, it’s not.

@Almeida BitLocker is enabled in your master ? If yes, you should disable it. Enable it only on the final computer.

We do have the BCD issue when enabling BitLocker on 24h2 image, we are running the same commands, but you are missing one.

You need to set device partition=C: for the recover from hibernate entry too. The annoying part is that its ID is dynamic.

@punch07 to view the /tftpboot use the command line terminal window. Now I do have to say that different distros have the directory in different locations like /var/lib/tftpboot.

@vincent33 Hello, thanks for the response! I was able to change my HW so this was no longer an issue.

@george1421 Thanks for the insight!

I’ve tried adding Dell’s WinPE driver package to the driver store but it doesn’t seem to have helped either. Whether it’s just the wrong drivers for the specific machine, i’m not sure yet.

I’ll give it another go once we get some more Dell stock in - but thank you for the help in the meantime 🙂

If undionly.kpxe worked in bios mode then snp.efi should work in uefi mode

Hi George, the BIOS claims its in UEFI mode but when booting it looks suspiciously like legacy (larger text etc). Its an old Viglin with a second generation i3 which is being retired this October so its not too much of a deal now I have a workaround.

@Jias94 Hey no worries, I’ve created that error a few times myself so I had a good idea where to look. I’m glad you have it sorted out and can get back to imaging.

@hariskar It looks like your root partition ‘/’ has 1.8T or 1800GB of space. The command I would have run is df -h to give you usage. but assuming that debian is less that 50GB you should have plenty of space to capture a modern computer with 50GB of data. Use single disk resizable to use zstd to compress that 50GB of data down even smaller.

What error message are you getting? A screen shot of the error might help set the context of the error.

@george1421 This worked! Thank you so much for your help!

@Eazis I created an experimental kernel that includes the drivers to fix this issue. Would you be willing to test it and let us know how it goes?
