THank you for the quick response ! - I am collaborating across town so… wasn’t able to see, but our techs were telling me the machines just blinked a bunch and rebooted. ( attempting registration and inventory ) sounds similar to what I was getting when running the latest versions on ubuntu in my first efforts to get her up and running.

thank you for the helping me out > I’ll check on the boot/EFI and kitchen sync kernel. Hopefully they can send me some of these newer machines to test - I have a feeling its the boot\EFI > maybe need to play around with the BIOS -
