Arghhh, Surface EFI partition. I got it copying over but that was a pain. Recovery partition next.

Testing capture and cloning now that I have most of the kinks worked out. Will report back.

@Tom-Elliott No clue

Yep that worked, but what is that?

I am assuming it is just finding the boot partition on the hardware EFI

Excuse me I changed it to REFIND_EFI

@Tom-Elliott I changed it to SANBOOT and it worked. Testing again to verify

@Tom-Elliott network stuff?

@Tom-Elliott Back to Chainloading failed

@Tom-Elliott Trying it now.

No dice there either

@Tom-Elliott OK that is causing it to loop on the menu over and over.

I am trying GRUB_FirstHDD

OK next snag, I was able to upload the image to the FOG server, no probems there, did all four partitions on a out of the box Surface 4.

Once it reboots and goes to teh FOG menu and I let it sit through the 3 second screen I get the following error:

Chainloading failed, hit ‘s’ for the iPXE shell

Any ideas?

OK little update here. This is the steps as I am taking them.

Hardware in use:
SP4 docking station
SP4 set to boot form network then USB then internal storage
Scope option for DHCP using ipxe.efi

Once the SP4 boot and downloads NBP file it goes to FOG menu without issue (Thank you Tom for seeing my stingy server habits)
Clicking Full Register Host
I am not able ot hit ? on image selection but if I know the number and enter it, it works jsut fine. I am not able ot use default options on some of the menus I have to enter Y/N or wit will just loop.
After entering all information I am able to see it registered in FOG

So DISCO. Now I need to figure out how to clean up the partitioning. But one thing at a time.

Server running very slow after upgrade top results below:

OK first test after upgrading is the following:

It doesn’t register the device but does dump some data and then drops me to a prompt.

OK this morning I am updating the FOG server to latest trunk off of SVN and replacing the .pxe files with the old ones. Lets see how this goes.

@Tom-Elliott OK test two run, same result. I am seeing the USB nic but only after it gets into the Registration part. Now need ot find a way for FOG to see the HDD.

OK running the test again. I am gonna setup a live feed so I dont have to keep uploading LOL. Twitch FOG setup Screening

When I take that option out and boot from network to the docking station I am getting this:

So I am getting somewhere. I am thinking the ipxe.efi file is good with the the docking station and it gets through to the menu but maybe its the kernel that cant see the drive?
