Thank you for the response, I appreciate it. I’ll give that a try.

I see that option, but I have been unable to find any documentation on the correct syntax to use to indicate which drive should be used.

The Dell Precision 3541 is set up so that the boot drive is actually the second drive in the BIOS, so that when I attempt to image it with FOG it images the second, data drive and not the actual boot drive. Is there a setting I can change to correct this?

Sebastian, thank you. That was it exactly.

When attempting to update the kernel I get the following error:
Type: 2, File: /var/www/html/fog/lib/fog/fogftp.class.php, Line: 464, Message: ftp_login(): Login incorrect., Host: 192.168.7.46, Username: xxxxxxx

I’ve tried changing the username password in the tftp settings to no avail. I’ve never had this problem before. Any ideas?

I didn’t see the option for a hardware compatibility test on the iPXE menu, so I tried the option for “client system information (compatibility)”.

It was unable to find the NIC as well.

First, thank you for your assistance.

So I tried this, but it only listed the wireless NIC. So I tried again just using “lspci -nn” and the only thing it lists for a “Realtek” device is the PCI express card reader, it doesn’t seem to list the NIC at all.
So I went into Windows to check on the device manager. Device manager lists it as “ThinkPad OneLink Plus Dock Ethernet” and it shows up as a USB Ethernet adapter.

Hardware ID in dev mgr: USB\VID_17EF&PID_3504&REV_3001 and USB\VID_17EF&PID_3504

It does not list a Vendor ID.
Manufacturer is Realtek.

Model: ThinkPad OneLink+
Model number: DU9047S1

Interesting. Now, this morning, after downloading the 4.16.6 kernel again it is no longer causing a kernel panic, but it also indicates that it can’t find a network interface.

Sorry, when I try kernel 4.15.2 I get to the Fog menu, but when it loads the kernel to start host registration it can’t find a network adapter. If I update to the latest available, 4.16.6, I get a kernel panic.

Attempting to capture an image. I was finally able to get the system to initiate a PXE boot, but it initially said that it couldn’t find an ethernet adapter once the kernel loads. This was an indication that the kernel didn’t have the proper driver for the ethernet adapter on the OneLink+. After I updated to a newer kernel, I now get a kernel panic using 4.16.6 indicating it was unable to process the init file.

I’m not really a well versed Linux admin (mostly a Windows user) but I was able to get several other systems imaged with no problems. Any help would be appreciated.
