@jconway1006 We have reports with Lenovo T14 Gen2 being slow as well: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/15433/lenovo-t14-gen-2 - see @saad-naeem’s post in this topic for a possible solution.

Yeah I ended up reading that post after I posted mine. Same exact issues. Tried some of the suggestions in there (upgrade BIOS) and all that stuff with no success. I’m making due right now with a little work around. Its just a pain when ya have more than a few laptops to setup.

[EDIT: sorry didn’t see this marked as “solved”]

@jconway1006, not sure if you were able to get your web service back up.

After testing on CentOS, I found that 1.5.7 would not work, and I had to move to dev-branch (1.5.7.2)… not sure why, but it worked. Maybe a clean install on the VM server is best.

I’ve also noticed with VMware it frequently takes more than one try to get the iPXE connection. To get around it

boot to EFI bios and try PXE network boot

at each failed attempt, choose the shutdown option in blue screen

rinse and repeat

@jconway1006 What do you mean by doesn’t halt?? Just take a picture with a camera the moment you see the message on screen.

I’ll get that info for you tomorrow morning when I am back in my office. I’ve actually yet to open the laptop up. All other stuff isn’t going to be a problem.

Thanks…

@george1421 You’re absolutely right, thanks a lot. I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 / fog 1.3.4 and can boot and run the inventory on Lenovo T560 with Kernel 4.4.0 and 4.9.11
