@JJ-Fullmer Yeah I started a new post with what I did, I had to piece together some stuff to get the whole shebang to work.

@psycholiquid I was able to resolve the refinduefi issue with the HP ProDesk 400s by pulling the old refind.conf file from the backup fog server and reverting refind.efi to version 0.11.0

Toss me in the group of people with HP ProDesk 400s All of mine are acting this way now.

Ok replaced the refind.efi with the latest 0.11.3 and made a change to the conf file and it is all owrking now.

Good job on fixing the dock issue with Surfaces, I can now image without using a seperate dongle.

So here is the steps I used to fix the issue:

1. upgraded to 1.5.4
2. Replaced bzimage and init.xz using kernel 4.15.2 and init.xz form my old version of FOG (@Sebastian-Roth custom)
3. Replaced refind.efi with verion 0.11.3 and edited out the scanfor line of the conf.

This seemed to get everything straight. So I think we are good.

@sebastian-roth But I am using kernel 15.12 and it seems to be working all but the refind UEFI

@Sebastian-Roth I recovered both, figured the init.xz is only the virtual HDD right and the bzimage is the actually loading OS.

@Sebastian-Roth yeah I got it working after updating the firmware to the latest version, it will boot and image but the refind-EFI is giving me troubles now. trying to find a way around it, GRUB doesn’t seem to work nor Does exit.

Ill post up the configuration and firmware versions once completed so everyone will know how to do it

I have tried updating the Surface firmware but so far no dice. Trying another update this morning

@sebastian-roth I was able to recover but it crashed on Fatal Error kernel to old

Resolved by dropping the kernel back down to 4.12.3.

This allows the Surface to make it past the init.xz… ok

Now stuck on Fatal kernel to old.

Will play with them more to see what I can get.

Adding version:

FOG Version: 1.5.4

bzImage Version: 4.17.0
bzImage32 Version: 4.16.6

Just update to latest SVN to get around the addition mac issue. After updating Surface Pro 4 tablets are getting stuck on init.xz. I worked with @Sebastian-Roth before on this and was using a beta efi file which of course I don’t have now that I updated. Any way to get around this or change the file to work with Surface Pro 4? I have snapshotted my fog server so I can roll back and get the file just wasn’t sure if there was a copy out there somewhere that works with the Surface Pro 4.

Organization Name: Sheakley Group Of Companies

Location (Optional) Cincinnati, Ohio

Approximate Number of systems: 500+

How long:3 years

Started on 0.32 in another company. It actually helped me get this job due the popularity of my imaging process.

I cant tell you the exact reason it has issue I just know that it does.

In my script I add the following:

<FirstLogonCommands>
<SynchronousCommand wcm:action=“add”>
<CommandLine>del /Q /F c:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml</CommandLine>
<Order>1</Order>
<Description>Deletes unattend.xml</Description>
<RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>
</SynchronousCommand>
<SynchronousCommand wcm:action=“add”>
<CommandLine>del /Q /F c:\windows\Panther\unattend.xml</CommandLine>
<Description>Deletes unattend.xml</Description>
<Order>2</Order>
<RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>
</SynchronousCommand>
<SynchronousCommand wcm:action=“add”>
<CommandLine>sc config FOGService start= auto</CommandLine>
<Description>Changes FOG server to Automatic</Description>
<Order>3</Order>
<RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>
</SynchronousCommand>
<SynchronousCommand wcm:action=“add”>
<CommandLine>net start FOGService</CommandLine>
<Description>Starts FOG service </Description>
<Order>4</Order>
<RequiresUserInput>false</RequiresUserInput>
</SynchronousCommand>
</FirstLogonCommands>

This turns the service back on after sysprep runs.

You will want to disable the fog client before sysprep and set in the unattend.xml to start it back up on first start

Guys I should also have some new HP tablets coming in soon probably using the same kind of hardware so I will update those as soon as I get my hands on them.

@sebastian-roth Keep in mind these are all NVMe disks. Not sure it that makes much of a difference on how it is read by the MB

@Sebastian-Roth yeah there are serial numbers on the disks using that software.

@george1421 said in Coexistence of UEFI and Legacy - Troubleshooting help:

@psycholiquid This is a bit off topic, but I see in your snapshot of “Here is a screenshot of my setup” you are using the ipxe7156.efi. I just saw a pull request on git hub that the “7156” flavor of kernels were being removed from the FOG distribution because the latest ipxe.efi version (in 1.5.0 branch) is now working with the surface pros.

1. Just be aware that this kernel is being removed from the package and you will need to update your dhcp setup.
2. You probabaly should confirm that the latest version of ipxe.efi (pulled from the working branch) does what YOU need it to because ipxe7156.efi was left in the distribution to address an issue with the surface pros and not VMWare.

I’m not saying its a problem. I’m only trying to raise awareness that there was a change and based on your configuration you may have issues.

I know I was part of the testing process for the whole thing.
