Hey Guys,

So I’m now able to image my new machines, it works a treat!

In the end I decided to scrap attempting to build my own Kernel and went with a Trunk version of FOG. I am aware that it isn’t stable but after deploying the new bleeding edge version of FOG all my machines are supported and are imaging without any issue.

We’re about to do a bulk deploy of 21 Machines, will let everybody know how that went. Experiences thus far, although frustrating in the beginning, are good. Thanks again for all the help supplied.

Could also be a driver issue. The PXE boot off the mini dock seems to be a known problem:

The above forum is about a Lenovo Yoga and SCCM but the mini dock is the same. Same realtek driver. The Unix/Linux drivers availabled here:

@Tom-Elliott,

Tried both like I said Rookie

@Tom-Elliott ,

Tried with external keyboard no diffrence.

@Tom-Elliott ,

I tried to follow this article but am unable to create the bootdisk. Granted I could be doing something wrong, I am a noob when it comes to Linux.

@Tom-Elliott ,

keyboard doesn’t seem to work. Yeah tried that!

Perhaps I should try connecting an external keyboard. Will give that a try and will get back to you.

@x23piracy ,

Because if I just pxe boot from the NIC directly I get:

I’m using the snponly.efi bootfile.

@Tom-Elliott said in Imaging Surface Pro 4 using Fog USB bootdisk:

working-1.3.5

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. I was already running Version 1.3.5-RC-12.

Now I also seem to have corrupted my USB bootdisk You wouldn’t by any chance have an iso for me?

@Wayne-Workman ,

I assume these tutorials are out of date:

and

https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=USB_Bootable_Media

They’re not working for me. Granted I could be doing it wrong!

Thought as much. Now to try and figure out how to do this. Last time I was provided an iso. Anyway I’ll give that a try! Thanks

Hey Guys,

Imaging a Surface Pro 4 using a USB stick with FOG on it. I’m getting an error as can be seen in the attached image.

Any ideas why this could be? USB kernel outdated perhaps?

@george1421 ,

Hi, so after latest git update all is good. I can now capture my windows image without issue using the USB boot disk.

I must say I did experience the “Database Schema Installer / Updater Error” after the update. Found fix on the link below if any of you have this in the future:

Would be good to get those Onelink+ mini docks working though. Then again, I suppose beggars cant be choosers

Thanks again for all the help.
