Dear Tom,

Thanks, and this is what I figured. At least I can pxe boot it and capture the image now, if I switch it to “AHCI/NVMe” mode, and switch back to “RAID” mode to boot the single NVMe drive.

I made this known so we can reach out to Dell and possibly have this changed as it actually doesn’t need this “RAID” mode.

Also we still have to disable secure boot on any computer either HP or Dell to get the pxe boot to work.

We did manage to use FOG to capture a RAID from an HPE DL380 Proliant Gen10 RAID controller and use that to load Windows Server 2022 now, so it does seem the kernel is the issue here on this intel motherboard RAID.

Regards,

Matt

Thanks Tom. Understood.

An Idea I had was programming this into the BIOS or requesting HP to make a BIOS/UFEI which has this feature of “channels”

Or using a boot file, such as with secure boot, but that would require HP or Dell or whichever PC manufacturer to make boot files for secure boot.

but this would be out of the scope of the project.

I do appreciate your input though.

Regards,

Matt

Thanks Tom.

I since went with 1.5.9 and was able to re-install the server with that, I did have to run the installer a few times to load all the missing packages.

I ended up putting the kernel, init files there manually. Then with the installer running and adding the --ignore fail switch installed the files that way.

Then I updated to the latest kernel in the FOG GUI so I have the latest kernel running as I need this for current HP Z2 G9 mini and small form factor computers.

This is running so I considered this solved.
