After all it was my basically my fault.

The IPXE UEFI USB Boot did not work…

So, following the instructions provided by George, i decided to use the FOS image.

I built one, using these instructions: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7727/building-usb-booting-fos-image/4

One caveat: The PC that I used to build the image is a Fedora 27, so I used the CentOS 7 script and i added the following line to create the 32 bits setting for grub2:

grub2-install --removable --no-nvram --efi-directory=/mnt --boot-directory=/mnt/boot --target=i386-efi

After that, I got the error reported here, but it was because I did not have started a task on the server. After I scheduled a capture task on the FOG Server, everything worked smootly.

Yes, I also think that this stick is faulty. I posted this question here hoping that it was not the case.

Anyway, thank you very much for the answers guys.

I’ll just use this PC for some other project. Thank you all again.

Bye

Has FOG 1.4.4 ever worked with a Lenovo 300 for you?

Yes. Sorry, I forgot to be more detailed in my post. It works with dozens of Lenovo Strick 300 PCs. Only one (so far) is failing with this error

Does your FOG server work with other models as expected?

Perfectly, it works with every single other PC we have

Have you tried to re-capture the golden machine to a new image yet?

I recreate the image using several different options: Single Disk Resizable, Multiple Partition - Single disk - Not Resizable… And different source Lenovo 300 also…It not worked in this particular problematic PC

It’s is important to say that this PC works perfectly if I install a fresh Windows, or Linux… Just the imaging isn’t working.

Thank you.

Hi

I am using FOG (server version 1.4.4) to deploy a image to a Lenovo 300 and i’m getting the following error:

Error trying to restore GPT partition tables (...)
Args Passed: /dev/mmcblk1 1 /images/(...)
CMD Tried: sgdisk -gl /images(...)/d1.mbr /dev/mmcblk1
Exit returned code: 4

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I tried both ways, the hard and the easy way.
As oriented, I was able to boot using the FOS Image. But faced problems with networking. Like you correctly said, it was related with STP, by disabling it, it was possible to get an IP on the first try, but another problem happened (attached images).

This my grub.cfg configuration:
set myfogip=192.168.11.171

My Fog server has selinux in Permissive mode and the firewall is disabled.
I’m able to ping the server and the compatibility test passed.
And I was able to make a Full Registration and Inventory the host. When I try to create a image the problem appears.

Thank you for your help, George.

Hello

In my company I have several Lenovo IdeaCentre Stick 300 and I need to create and deploy images on them.

To connect the USB stick, the USB ethernet adapter and a keyboard I’m using a simple USB Hub.

I’m able to start the boot process via USB, following the instructions available here but the boot process crashes after listing the Features (DNS, HTTP etc) - the very beginning of the proccess.

How can I debug that? Or most importantly, there is any problem with this hardware and/or hardware setup?

Thanks
