@sebastian-roth You correct, I just used the file of that new kernel and it worked.

@sebastian-roth I didn’t want to overwrite the kernel that we are using by default for all computers. So i downloaded the newer Kernel, 5.10.19 and just specified that kernel in the host machine.

@sebastian-roth I just tried both the 32 and 64 versions of that newer Kernel, 5.10.19 here is the error i get with both

@sebastian-roth Sure. I will give that a try and report back

@sebastian-roth @Sebastian-Roth Hi i had to pivot away from this for a bit but now I can pick this up again. Please the log you requested

@george1421 okay that worked but i didn’t see any error that said “failed to find”

This section has some network information, does this help?

@george1421
I followed those instructions but i just see a blank screen with a box that says standard input

@george1421 I tried those kernels and they did not work.

Is this what you are looking for?

FOG version 1.5.9

I’m trying to image a set of dell all in one 5480’s and i can’t see to find a kernel that is compatible with the NIC.

I’m getting an No network interfaces found, your kernel is most probably missing the correct driver!

Which kernel should i be using to image these?

@george1421 I found that part# 470-abnd
Dell Adapter - USB 3.0 to Ethernet PXE Boot worked to get these 7410’s going with the imaging process.

@george1421 Okay i have it, what’s a secure way to get it to you?

@george1421 Do you need a single pcap or one that captures every port that’s called out that tcpdump command?

@george1421 Okay i must have missed that link the first time. I’ll give that a try and post the results

@The-Dealman Again, lets get a pcap to see what its being told.

Also secure boot is off?

Yes secure boot is off.

For the pcap, are these instructions accurate? https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=TCPDump

@george1421 Yes i changed the boot file ipxe.efi if you want i can post a video of what i saw.

On the computer that bios boots using undionly.kpxe can you switch that computer over to uefi mode and pxe boot with ipxe.efi?

On the optiplex 3010 when i try the uefi network boot it just goes to black screen the kicks back to the One-Time Boot Menu.

I’ll try that now. It’s a optiplex 3010

@george1421 I have tested the pxe booting process on a desktop system using the undionly.kpxe and it works without issue. So something is not right the uefi pxe process and these 7410 laptops with the WD19 docking stations.

@george1421 said in Dell 7000 series laptops pxe booting:

@The-Dealman on a 7400 using a wd19 it pxe boots right into the FOG ipxe menu. So what’s unique about your installation?

Is this a new FOG installation where you have never pxe booted into the iPXE menu before? OR is this the first uefi system you are tying to image?

Yes to both questions here.

@george1421 Yes your settings match what i have
