@george1421 This seems positive, looks like we may have a working solution by the end of the year. Unfortunately as the laptops we are testing this on are the CEO’s and CTO’s new ones, I will not be able to keep hold of them much longer and so they will be unavailable for testing in 2 weeks time. I will keep following the progress of this forum but wont be able to lend a hand to testing.

@rodluz That is strangely reassuring that you are seeing the same result I was, I did worry that I was doing something wrong or was unlucky when my inputs were not registering. I guess there is still a bit of work to be done to get this working. Hopefully the 6.11 supported linux headers drop soon.

@rodluz @george1421 Have you had any progress with this project?

@george1421 I have had some small success on testing and with Oracular Desktop from 16th Sept I have managed to get it to the language selection on instal with the GUI, however it is not taking any inputs so it is definitely not a working image but it is closer than anything else so far. I have not been able to get any Linux to get any further than a small underscore on physical hardware but over VM I am able to reach the language. I can see that the system has not crashed, as the clock is updating although only if i close and reopen the VM.
This was accessed from here but I have not managed to get the 190924 version to work yet and cannot see the one I used listed: https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

I fixed my TFTP issues and upgraded the kernel but as expected it is still not going any further in FOG.

@george1421 is this the kernel that is downloaded and installed inside the fog web interface? I’m currently working through a tftp authentication issue to upgrade this.

@george1421 I have run the install for UBUNTU server 24.04.1 LTS ARM64 and that gives me the same error as MarkG,

I am going to continue to hunt for a live OS that will boot.

@george1421 I was not thinking when I asked that, but have not got the laptops to the FOG menu, I tried to register but immediately failed as expected. Interestingly when I tried from a VM on the ARM Laptop I got a blank FOG menu and an error “synchronous exception at 0x00000000DE6A82DC”.

We are on FOG 1.5.10 and we are currently updating our UBUNTU to 24.04 LTS and will then install Kernel 6.11. I will try this afternoon to get linux to build on hyperV and then attempt to instal it on the second laptop.

@rodluz I have 2 X-Elite’s one running Hyper-V which I am hoping to do the majority of testing in and one which is yet to be opened incase the business decides to return them.

edit: X Elite - X1E80100

@george1421 Thanks for such a fast and detailed response. Yes I fully understand that we are in uncharted waters and that few people have this hardware yet so I am happy to be usefull to the community with these devices for as long as I can keep them before they are provisioned.

I will attempt to do this after the weekend and report back my results.

How do I go about this step? “Get that file name and key it into the dhcp server/s option 67 value”

@george1421 We have purchased 2 ARM Dell Laptops and want to try and get fog to capture and deploy Windows 11 images on these. We are finding it unable to PXE boot and wanted to ask if there is specific files we would need to modify or replace in FOG and if you had any advice on how to go about attempting this? I am not very experienced with Linux but want to see if I can get this working.
