Hi @Sebastian-Roth ,

Thanks for the quick reply! I was unfortunately not able to upgrade and try this until today.

I’m currently on version 5590 and now when i PXE boot the surface it boots fine to the FOG Menu but when i try to capture an image (or try to quick image) I get the error “No network interfaces found.”

I booted into debug mode, ran ifconfig and it only returned the lo or the loopback adapter.

I ran lsusb with and without the network adapter and it appears that it is detected, but this is about the extent that I can troubleshoot in linux without assistance/guidance…

Thank you

Hello everyone,

I’ve been trying to get a Surface 3 (not a pro) to image using Fog for a few days now and have run into problems after problems after problems trying to just capture the image…

Currently I’ve done the following:
0) Installed SVN version of Fog (the logo on the webpage shows 5473) on Ubuntu 14.04 following the steps at https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_14.04 using steps for SVN here https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/SVN (i only installed the SVN version
a) Side note this version seems a bit buggy, i can’t list all hosts (i get a server 500 error), multi-casting didn’t seem to work (All of the computers would load partclone and imaging would never start) and I can’t easily add members to a group (server 500 error) - It could be because i imported hosts/database…

1. Disabled secure boot on the Surface
2. Changed DHCP boot option to snp.efi (per this forum post: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4982/unable-to-successfully-pxe-boot-to-a-fog-menu-on-a-microsoft-surface-pro-3/10 )
3. Create an image (I’ve tried both “Single Disk - Resizable” and “Mulitple Partition - Single Disk (not resizable)”
4. Created a new host with the network adapter MAC address
   a) I’ve tried setting the Host Primary Disk to /dev/mmcblk0 - Per this forum: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/3662/surface-pro-3-pxe/65?page=1 ( I get the error message “cannot find HDD on system” otherwise)
5. Boot the surface with microsoft network adapter (with a USB hub and keyboard)
   a) I have to enter the tftp boot server manually

When the image is set to “Single Disk - Resizable” i get the following error: No resizable partitions found.
When the image is set to "Multiple Partition - Single Disk (Not resizable) - I get the following saying that the task is complete:

Not sure if this is helpful but here is the dmesg run from the surface ( I ran this without the Host Primary Disk set 0_1448392632297_dmesg.txt

Any help or links to forum posts i may have over looked would be greatly appreciated!
