    • RE: Surface Pro 3 PXE:

      I’ve tried doing this…

      I first tried with the 32 bit and it flashed up saying downloading NBP File very quickly then moved onto IPv6 before continuing to load up Windows…

      I then tried using the 64 bit version, again it came up with Downloading NBP file and appeared to be doing a little more then the 32 bit version, but then it continued to load up Windows!!

      What else can I try??!?!?

      Thanks

    • RE: Surface Pro 3 PXE:

      Thanks - will try this tomorrow when I’m back in work.

      If I manage to get it working, will this then boot up the fog menu or will I need to enter some command in the iPXE shell to load fog? If so, what will I need to enter?

      Thanks

    • RE: Surface Pro 3 PXE:

      Morning,

      I’ve tried again using the modified ipxe.efi file created from the website - When I set that as the bootfile and boot up the Surface Pro 3 I get…

      Checking Media Presence…
      Media Present…
      Start PXE over IPv4

      It flicks then to saying

      Downloading NBP file… (this appears for a second or two)

      Then moves onto

      Checking Media Presence…
      Media Present…
      Start PXE over IPv6

      Before continuing to boot up the Surface Pro 3.

      I don’t get any Fog Menu

      Thanks

      Matt

      Thanks - I’ll give this another shot - but I tried this a few days back after reading your earlier post and couldn’t get it to work!

      I’m really sorry Tom, are you able to guide me to what I should be doing exactly to achieve what you say. I’m not too familiar with the background workings of Linux.

      Thanks

    • RE: Surface Pro 3 PXE:

      OK,

      I originally tried using the ipxe.efi which failed to boot the surface to the fog menu,

      I then tried the snp.efi which booted to a very basic looking menu, I tried to register the host and I get the message:-

      i8042: Can’t read CTR while initializing i8042
      usb usb2-port1: couldn’t allocate usb_device
      Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)
      Kernel Offset: 0x0 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range: 0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffff9fffffff)
      —[ end of Kernal panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount fs on unknown-block(1,0)

      I’ve also tried changing the bootfile to snponly.efi and get the same error as above.

      Thanks

      Matt

    • RE: Surface Pro 3 PXE:

      Just tried with the file supplied in the link and it still won’t boot to the Fog menu - I get downloading NBP? File…

      Then blips saying successful and then continues to load up Windows.

    • RE: Surface Pro 3 PXE:

      Did you manage to get the surface’s to boot into FOG using the official Microsoft USB LAN Adaptor or only the docking station?

      I’ve created a modified EFI Bootfile as mentioned above and added it into the tftpboot folder on the fog server, and changed the boot file to use in DHCP, but I can’t get it to boot up into Fog.

      It loads up the PXE boot very quickly and a message about downloading an image but then it goes and continues to load up the surface into Windows.

      Thanks

      Matt
