I have looked at the wiki article you suggested about building a kernel but, since this is my first experience with linux, it is a little daunting. I am researching how to start building it though.

@Sebastian-Roth

My FOG Server is handling DHCP. I have a direct connection from the FOG server machine to the tablet I am trying to image.

@Sebastian-Roth said in Lenovo X1 Tablet (Gen 3) Stuck at "init.xz...ok":

edit your DHCP server config and point to snp.efi or snponly.efi

There was a UEFI update from 3/10/19 that I installed, unfortunately it didn’t fix the issue. I’ve tried to search how to switch the DHCP server config to point to snp.efi or snponly.efi, but I’m not having much luck finding instructions. I’m also willing to try to debug the kernel boot process as you mentioned earlier.

yes I did use the correct “has_usb_nic=1” argument and it did not affect the outcome.

Let me preface this by saying that this is my first experience with a FOG server setup.

I am trying to image a Lenovo X1 Tablet (Gen 3) and it will show “init.xz…ok” then go to a black screen. I have to use a usb C network adapter as the tablet doesn’t have a built in network port. Below is a list of actions I have taken to try to fix the issue.

I turned off safe boot and enabled the thunderbolt connection in PXE
I manually registered the client in FOG and made sure the kernel argument was set to “has usb nic” and had the same results
ive tried 3 different lenovo branded usb NIC adapters, they all pxe boot to FOG but will not register
I have been able to register, image and deploy to another laptop with a built in NIC

I will be happy to provide any other info needed to solve this issue. Thanks in advance!
