@Sebastian-Roth Well, crap. I already am letting it upload the image as raw. I switched to Multiple partitions single disk and let it upload the 254 GB image. That’s almost done. I can create a second image definition and upload that once I’m done with this one here which should be done in about 4 minutes. I’ll try and get a solid video of the process but that may not be until tomorrow.

@Sebastian-Roth UPDATE:

So, I successfully pxe booted off the surface dock. Then it prompted for a USB adatper, so I unplugged the ethernet cable from the surface dock and plugged in the USB>ethernet adapter and it started to capture the image. However, I have the image set to single disk - Resizable and it started to do a whole RAW image copy. of 254G. Is there anyway to make the image smaller? I am going to try multiple partition single disk now. However, on the raw transfer, it appeared to hang after about 3.1G of transfer. Let me know your thoughts.

@Sebastian-Roth Yes of course. I didn’t know there was such a parameter. I’ll test now. Thanks FOG Team!

@Wayne-Workman Thanks Wayne. We just ordered an Amazon Basics Ethernet 2.0 USB adapter, the one found here:

It works in the OS, just not when trying to PXE boot. The interesting thing is, the Surface dock, when connected via that, I do get it to PXE boot.

@george1421 This is the Surface USB dock I’m using right now as I am waiting for some usb ethernet adapters from amazon. My old one broke… The eth0 is the usb one, that is the one that I’ve registered in the webGUI. I’ll have to see if its any different once those usb adapters get in.

@Tom-Elliott Okay, I’m in debug mode. What information will help? I’m using the USB dock. I did an ip addr show and on eth0 I’m not seeing inet address.

@Tom-Elliott So, we had to order some USB -ethernet adapters. We’re waiting on those. On the USB dock, I get this when trying to do debug push:

Is this something with the inits? Let me know, thanks!

@Tom-Elliott Hey Tom, good morning! I tried to do the debug push to the surface and it is not able to grab that. I’ll try today on the USB-ethernet adapter. Thanks!

@Tom-Elliott Here is the output from the surface on trunk:

(sorry about the glare!)

Also, we’re testing this on a desktop too, and it seems to be working…eg its on the step of saving original partition table and its been there a few minutes.

@Tom-Elliott I’ll try updating the kernel and inits via wget today and see where that gets me. You are correct in your assumptions of where we are at.

@Tom-Elliott Yes, there is actually an error message. Well, at first we got the image to push to the FOG 1.2.0 server. Then, we tried to deploy the image. On boot, there is an error stating that winload.exe can’t be found. After that, trying to push the win10 image to the server won’t work at all. Though pushing deployments seem to work fine. Also, in conjunction with this, the surface starting pushing to the server but I killed that push as I didn’t have an extra 250G space. That is tomorrow’s project, getting the surface (whole 254G) to push to a storage node that has enough space.

@Tom-Elliott Ok. I have no idea why image uploads are failing for a colleague of mine. I’ll to have research and see what he’s doing. Thanks for all your help.

@Tom-Elliott I’m not sure as to that Tom. Should the win10 image be able to do any type of image upload, eg resizable or multiple paritions?

@Sebastian-Roth Update: I can get the image to upload now, but only with the option multiple partition image - not resizable options. This however wants to push the whole thing up to the server. Is that how it is supposed to work? I suppose the name implies that, however I thought it would be less than the 254G image. I haven’t let it just cruise through and upload yet, but I’ll do that soon when I can get some more space for images on one of the nodes I’m using. Another question. Does anything change in between the upload and deploy? Eg if I upload a spanking new win10 image to the server, will it deploy that exact same image to a machine? Just wondering what changes after the deploy or if that is all changes made to the image. Thanks @Sebastian-Roth !

@Sebastian-Roth A couple of questions good sir. When I set the parameters for the image, is it a single disk or multiple disk with partitions, there are 4 or 5 options there. Also, I am using bzImage_rb, should I be using that? It got to the point of NFS mounting and then failed with NFS mount. The NFS service is running, so I’m not sure why it’s failing.

@Sebastian-Roth Awesome, I’m trying now!

I also tried with the bzImage_rb as described here:

https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6525/pxe-boot-hp-x2-210-hybrid-tablet-windows-10-pro/114?page=1

and I am still getting a kernel panic. I noticed that Matthieu finally got it working and I’m wondering what is different, eg (bzImage, ipxe.efi maybe) @Sebastian-Roth if you could let me know I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Sorry for the delay all. Here is the latest output from the bzImage_epk argument:

@Sebastian-Roth Genius! Give me a few minutes here…

@Sebastian-Roth Yeah I have an iPhone 6 with the Slo Mo, think that might be of help ? The bigger problem is a fixed position. IF only we had a selfie stick in the office!
