@EAHarvey Several programs have found no issues with the drive.
@Wayne-Workman Cannot do this right now as I only have 1 netbook in my Office but will give it ago when I can.
Anyone else have an idea why I get this error when trying to deploy an image? https://forums.fogproject.org/uploads/files/1452520756237-error.jpg
Thanks again.
Just tried to deploy the image to the same netbook and got this <Error>. Anyone know what is causing it? See my post below for more info.
The ASIX AX88772B chipset adapter turned up today and after a bit of fiddling I managed to capture an image of a netbook ! Here are the host settings <Click me>, using bootfile called ipxe.efi and BIOS settings are Secure Boot <Disabled>, Legacy Support <Enabled>, Network Boot Protocol <IPv4 (Legacy)>. FOG version is trunk 5927.
Only issue now is how to deal with 100+ netbooks with the same mac address. Anyone know how I can get around this?
Thanks again for all your help, much appreciated!
@d4rk3 I tried that and that and it wouldn’t pxe boot.
@drc0nc Thanks for the info. I’ve ordered a few adapters which have the ASIX AX88772B chipset so hopefully they will work.
@Sebastian-Roth There are no PXE boot messages when the netbook is booting up. I pressed F12 (network boot) and after a few seconds the laptop boots to W10.
The adapter I have doesn’t seem to work so I’m goign to give up on it for now and will try the new adapters next week.
Thanks all.
@Tom-Elliott Yep the NIC is PXE bootable, it’s a StarTech USB21000S2 and this article here is why I bought it http://www.johnwillis.com/2014/03/pxe-booting-using-usb-to-ethernet-dongle.html.
@Wayne-Workman Will do.
@drc0nc I have network listed first in the bios and I’ve tried pressing F12 and no luck PXE booting. If I cannot get this adapter working then I will look into other adapters. Which ones did you get working? The Netbooks are HP Stream 11 11-R050SA.
Hi
I have been trying to image a HP Stream 11 using a SMSC LAN7500 USB to Ethernet adapter however I cannot get the Netbook to PXE boot and therefore image the device.
What happens is when I create a Capture task in FOG, the netbook reboots and the adapters lights start flashing. Unfortunately it doesn’t PXE boot and instead boots into Windows 10. FOG is working as we can image older Toshiba and Acer netbooks fine.
I’ve looked at this thread - https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/5431/ipxe-initialising-devices-sticking/19?page=2 and added has_usb_nic=1 to fog.reginput boot option as well as the netbooks Kernel Arguments and still no luck.
BIOS is set to
Secure Boot <Disabled>
Legacy Support <Enabled>
Network Boot Protocol <IPv4 (Legacy)>
I have tried changing the bootfile in DHCP (windows 2008r2 server) to undionly.kkpxe and ipxe.efi and still no pxe boot. Do I need to make any changes to FOG or the FOG Server when I change bootfile in DCHP?
Does anyone have any advice so I can get these devices imaging with FOG?
FOG OS is Ubuntu 14.04
FOG version is trunk 5852
It also seems that FOG only lets you add new devices which has a unique MAC address. This means that we cannot image multiple Netbooks with the same USB to Ethernet adapter as the Netbooks will share the same MAC address. Is this something that can be fixed?
My knowledge of linux / Ubuntu isn’t the best so go easy on my please.
Cheers!
Matt
