@Tom-Elliott Ok. Once again, thanks for the help @Tom-Elliott.
What I have found we need to do now is do a Quick Inventory. This inputs the basics into FOG. We rename it using the Web UI and apply the image and active directory settings. Once this is done, I create a deploy task. When I boot the Surface at this point, it images no problem.
A little convoluted, but it works!
@Scott-Adams Thanks @Tom-Elliott for your help getting my FOG Settings saving again.
I have now tried to image/inventory another Surface Pro 4, and I get nothing. I get to the FOG Menu. When I do a Full Host Registration (or a quick inventory - it doesn’t matter) the screen just goes to a black screen and just sits there.
I have obviously made sure Secure Boot is off, DCHP scope options are configured for snponly.efi, and I changed FOG_KERNEL_ARGS to has_usb_nic=1.
@K.Hays Ok. Let’s try this. Remove the “has_usb_nic=1” from FOG_KERNEL_ARGS.
Next, manually create a host from the Web UI with the MAC address of the USB nic you are using (the one that you found should work).
On that host, change your Host Kernel to bzImage32 (as I believe the T100 is a 32bit device). Then, enter “has_usb_nic=1” (minus the quotes) for Host Kernel Arguments.
@K.Hays Nope. Just on the DHCP server. Just so we’re not overlooking the obvious, you are setting the boot file (option 67) on the IP scope that your plugged into right?
@K.Hays Do you get to a different point or does it still sit at the “Start pxe over ipv4”?
There are several .efi files to choose from (ipxe.efi, snp.efi, snponly.efi, realtek.efi, intel.efi)
Have you tried putting the value “has_usb_nic=1” (minus the quotes) under FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> General Settings -> FOG_KERNEL_ARGS?
Also, check your BIOS settings for Secure Boot. Secure Boot needs to be turned off/disabled in order to work.
You could try using a different boot file as well. I typically use snponly.efi for my UEFI devices.
@Wayne-Workman Correct. But, after he gets logged in (rather by info from Storage Management or by resetting password through recovery), the config.class.php might need to be checked. I thought this was the file used for installs/upgrades.
@nrg I think you need to check the settings in config.class.php as well. Make sure the username/password is right there.
Also, within the Lenovo BIOS, you may want to see if Secure Boot is enabled. If so, you want to disable it.
You could try a couple of different things here.
In your kernel parameters under FOG Configuration -> FOG Settings -> General Settings, enter a value of “has_usb_nic=1”
minus the quotes
On your DCHP server, change your boot file to an efi file, which is compatible with the UEFI bios of the Lenovo. I typically use snponly.efi, but have had success with ipxe.efi as well.
If everything is successful, you could then create a group for this model device and put in the kernel parameters in the group. Add these devices to the group, then they will always have the parameter applied.
You don’t want to leave the parameter set (from option 1). This will cause other devices to not be able to image.
@Tom-Elliott Updated to SVN 7609, no go on the FOG Settings. Get the following apache error:
[Fri May 13 08:28:52.033468 2016] [:error] [pid 25337] [client 10.10.101.4:51573] PHP Warning: Error while sending QUERY packet. PID=25337 in /var/www/html/fog/lib/db/mysql.class.php on line 50, referer: http://fog/fog/management/index.php?node=about&sub=settings
Line 50 is:

@Tom-Elliott Line 25 is:

@Tom-Elliott Updated to SVN 7603. Still unable to make changes in FOG Settings, and now Apache error logs show:

@Scott-Adams If I’m reading this right, line 47 is:

@Tom-Elliott Updated to SVN 7597. Did not ask to upgrade schema after install. Am now able to get Apache log errors.

@Tom-Elliott So, rerun the SVN to go up to the next version of FOG?
@Tom-Elliott What installer do I need to rerun? I just re-updated SVN yesterday.
@Tom-Elliott Yes sir! I can created hosts, create images (capture and deploy). From within FOG Configuration, I can change settings in the iPXE Menu Cusomtization. I can download new kernels.
The only restriction so far is for any changes I make to the FOG Settings under FOG Configuration. I know this is not the original topic of this thread, but the troubleshooting for this topic led us down this path.
@Tom-Elliott It says “unable to open file for reading”. It does this for all the apache logs under log viewer…
