@george1421 I will work on making the FOS usb boot drive. Will post when done.

@rodluz I got it working. I was able to boot into the debug kernel from the usb and was able to get it to boot into the deploy image.

I disabled Virtualization, VT-d, and X2APIC

I was missing the X2APIC setting once that was disabled it started working. thank you all for your help in getting this working.

Using the latest experimental fos kernel I am able to deploy via task without issues. https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/releases/tag/EXP_20240720

Thank you all for your help in getting this to work.

This can be marked as Solved

@rodluz After disabling VT and X2APIC Intel x2APIC Mode disabling these settings and the system properly deploying an image what setting in the kernel would need to change to allow for the system to deploy properly without having to modify the BIOS settings? I think this may be easier said then done but want to start looking at it.

@rodluz thank you for your current help on this. I have tried both the 2 new images you have provided and they are both failing back at the booting kernel that I see when I try to boot the original kernels off the USB drive. Would it be helpful for you to be able to remotely access the system and login to it?

@rodluz These both give me the same error after loading the kernel. Error: kernel doesn’t support EFI handover. This is the same error I was getting with dist 2 and 3. dist 1 did not give this error.

@rodluz Are you able to try enabling virtualization in the kernel to see if it fixes it for SaturTP maybe it will help me my issue as well.

@rodluz I have tried all 3 kernels the dist1 has the same issue. dist2 and 3 show the following message.

Then they go back to the main menu.

@SaturTP I have disabled Virtualization and VTd but unable to find VTx. So far with these two items it is still failing. Where did you find VTx. Just a generalized location will work hopefully.

@SaturTP I will try disabling virtualization however we do need that to be enabled on our servers. But if this works then at least it is pointing to the possible root of the issue.

@Tom-Elliott I have updated all systems to the latest firmware versions. I will go and check to make sure again that I am on the latest versions of firmware.
