Dell Vostro 1400 laptop will not boot Zen imaging

Got a new Dell Vostro 1400 laptop today to find it has problems with
ZENworks imaging.
I can pxe boot the laptop and it will attempt to install the imaging
software from
the server but fail and present me with the Linuxrc screen.
Navigating through the options results in a DHCP configuration failed
error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Is there a hotfix available?
thanks.

I have loaded this driver and added the newid=0x14e4 0x1713 but still
no luck. Still can not ping the Zenworks server or do anything. The
Network lights stay lit when it tries to obtain an IP address for eth0.
I read on another site that you need to update the initrd with the new
tg3.ko driver. I will try this later tonight and see what happens.

    Do you have a compatible OSX installed on this 'storage' HDD?  If not, it will not boot your MBP.

  • Laptop will not boot, no display and flashing caps key

    Hi,
    I am attemping to repair a laptop for a family member, their baby threw up on the keyboard, although after they cleared it up they said it was still working (booting into windows, mouse working etc). They took the old keyboard out themselves but it looks like they were a bit heavy handed with it; there are quite a few scratches on the metal plate underneath the keyboard and the plastic surround. I have not yet been able to confirm if the laptop was still booting after the keboard was removed.
    Anyway - I went to their house to do what I thought was going to be a relatively easy job, simply connecting the new keyboard. Now the laptop will not boot, there is no display on the screen and we get a flashing CAPS/F12 key. I have looked at the table for LED codes, but I am not sure if it is one flash lots of times, or six flashes. The warranty has also run out so sending to HP not really an option.
    There are six short flashes, with quite a long pause between each one. After this the laptop powers off and after another pause turns itself back on and starts over. If it is one flash (CPU) then I guess they must have shafted something on the board by shoving the screwdriver in underneath the keyboard to prise it away from the laptop. There is however not an awful lot of stuff exposed - there is a fairly substancial metal plate under where the keyboard would sit to protect the laptop.
    I am hoping at the moment that it is showing six flashes - which is BIOS authentication error. I am not that familiar with HP products, but could this be caused by installing a non-genuine keyboard? The keyboard looks the same from the top, but was bought for less than a tenner on ebay.
    If anybody has any ideas that would be great.

  • Hp pavilion laptop will not boot up.

     I get this error The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum. I'm not able to do anything with it after this screen, it will not boot to safe. What can I do?
    I've removed the battery, which is dead anyway; laptop is plugged in.  Have tried different power source and that doesn't help.
    There  is no blinking cursor, etc. I have tried F2 & ran that memory & hard disk diagnosis & nothing seems to be amiss. On the error log I really didn't see any errors.
    I don't have recovery disc either but laptop won't boot to cd rom drive so even if I had recovery disc am not sure that would work.
    Help please I'm at a loss now of what to do.  Thanks.

    Does F11 at power on work to boot into Recovery?

  • Toshiba Satellite Laptop - Will Not Boot, Safe Mode Not Accessible

    Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your help.
    I am trying to help my mother-in-law (I know, who does that!?) with her laptop. Because of the boot problems, I can only offer you limited info on the specs, but here is what I do know.
    Toshiba Satellite
    Model Number PSAE6C-TJ908C
    2 Gig RAM (assuming DDR2)
    HDD is a Toshiba MK2035GSS 200Gig
    OS Windows Vista
    Bios Version 2.60
    Problem:
    First it would boot ok in one user account, but when booted in secondary account it would act odd, ie caps lock stayed on when not pressed, etc. Deleted secondary account, ran Windows repair function, now I cannot access the primary account, will not boot in safe mode, can not change boot sequence in setup to boot from cd or run restore disc. I have to use an external keyboard as the laptop keyboards enter key and "a" keys do not work. (New keyboard which was replaced in December, warranty has since run out, thank you Staples.)
    Any and all help greatly appreciated. I'll answer any other questions you have as they come up, I realize I may have left out some key details.
    I forgot to add a couple of details. When booting, it hangs at the Toshiba screen prompting for either F2 for setup or F12 for boot device selection, when you reach the log in screen it gives a number of odd sounding beeps (3 I believe), the Filter Keys box comes up, and when you try to enter the login password it will not recognize it.

    That's one sick laptop. If the thing beeps on startup and even the keyboard doesn't work, I'd figure on replacing it.
    Are there important files you need to rescue?

  • When i install a 2nd 1gb stick of memory in my pavilion dv6000t laptop, the laptop will not boot.

    HP Pavilion dv6000t running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit version.  My system currently is running on a single 1GB stick of memory.  I have a 2nd matching 1GB stick of memory.  When I install the 2nd stick of memory the system will not boot.  All the lights come on, the hard drive spins up, but you can not even get into the BIOS setup screen, it just sits there with a blank screen.  What could be causing this.  Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

    Hi:
    When I encounter issues like that, I switch the memory modules to see if one of the chips is bad.
    So, I recommend you remove the one memory chip that is working, and put the other one in its place.
    If the PC boots up, now install the second chip and see what happens.
    If it doesn't boot up, then there is some undefined hardware issue.
    If the PC doesn't boot up when you initially switch the memory with the one stick, then you know that the one memory module is bad.

  • G3 will not boot flashing image

    hi i have an imac 400 mhz g3 dv edition, just put a new hard drive in, turned on imac and
    got a small envelope and face flashing in the centre of the screen will not boot up from disc help anyone know why?

    So you say you installed a fresh new hard drive and turned on the iMac.
    Does it have an OS installed on it?
    Seriously, assuming you +did remember+ to install an OS, which one? Which iMac G3 do you have (slot loader or tray loader CDROM drive)? How big is the hard drive?
    If you are saying you are trying to boot from an installation disc, hold down the C key when you start it up and it should boot from the optical drive.

  • G580 Laptop will not boot due to the harddrive some how disconnecting

    Hello,
    My problem with my G580 is that when I start up there is a sounds coming from the laptop and in the booting device list, the HDD with windows 7 on it which is the main HDD won't show. Pretty sure it is because the HDD somehow disconnected but how much will it cost if I send it in to lenovo to fix it?
    Video of when I start it up... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzb6bwEsdb02cS1RV05aTkVSbUU/edit?usp=sharing

    Hi Brandon,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    I’m sorry to hear that your G580 Laptop is not detecting the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and not booting to Windows. I would suggest you to perform the BIOS reset once and check if the HDD is detected in BIOS, below are the steps for the same:
    To access BIOS menu press F2 when the Lenovo logo appears on the screen while the computer is starting up.
    Then to reset the BIOS to its defaults click on “F9” Key and select YES.
    Now click on “F10” Key to save the changes that are done in BIOS, the computer should automatically restart. Please check if the issue persists.
    If the issue persists even after performing BIOS reset, I would suggest you to contact our Technical Support for further Assistance to get the details of the nearest Authorized Service Center to get the issue analyzed and for information about repair cost.
    Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
    Do post us back for further queries.
    Best Regards

  • Laptop will not boot, stops at Toshiba screen then an error message. Can't access BIOS

    I receive the following error message:
    For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.2.7(11/02/10)
    Check cable connection!
    PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
    Before it first shut down, there was some blue screen with a message I was unable to read in time. I turned it back on and got the above message. I have done some research and it sounds like some kind of hard drive problem. I've checked the hard drive connection and it's fine, the same message appears. I also saw that you can access BIOS(not sure what this is exactly, I've never used it) and then somehow recover, reset or change a boot setting that may have changed by itself. I can't access it though. I have tried F8, I have tried pressing escape as soon as the red Toshiba screen comes on, and also tried holding it and releasing when the tone sounds, then pressing F1 but all I get is a tone and no screen.
    It's about to be finals week and I really need some help getting this fixed...preferrebly without having to by a new hard drive because all kinds of homework, papers and study info is on this computer. I haven't even had it for two years yet. I can attach a picture of the screen if needed but it's just a black screen with the above message.
    Thanks for any help!
    EDIT: Satellite L655-S5150 and Windows 7
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It does sound like a hard drive related issue, be it a virus, or physical failure.  If you have fast boot enabled, you will need to hold down F8 while you power up, as just tapping F8 at the BIOS splash screen will not work.  If you are unable to recover that way, hopefully you created recovery media when you first got the laptop(it would have prompted you in the action center).
    If that was not done, you could always swap in a new hdd to get the system up and running, and get a eSATA to USB cable to get all of your info off your old drive.

  • Envy DV7 laptop will not boot without the power cord being connected

    My laptop won't boot on its own even when the battery indicator reads "fully charged (97%). If I have the power cord plugged into the computer (and the wall), it boots right away. Without the power cord, the "power indicator light" flashes once, the screen brightens to a lighter shade of gray, then it just shuts down.
    I'm thinking I need to replace the battery but I thought it best to check with the experts first...................☺
    Thanks!!
    ETA..........I just saw the post about power cord failure. My power cord is one of those affected and I will be filling out the request for a replacement. Unfortunately my serial number is apparently located inside the battery compartment. I'm wondering if my cord has overheated and caused this boot problem with my computer.

    Hello, @jksweeney 
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that your having an issue with the power and your notebook. That you've applied to have the power cord replaced as it was part of the recall.
    Please let me know when that has been taken care of if the issue remains. I will remain subscribe to this thread, so that I will be notified if you post again.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • Toshiba laptop will not boot up

    Hello.
    A couple days ago my younger brother (in a fit of rage on a video game he was playing on the laptop) slammed the laptop shut and tossed it on his bed. I took the laptop and tried turning it on and got nothing. I have reached a screen where it asked to either "Start windows normally" or with Windows repair and choosing to Start windows normally will only give me a black screen for a few seconds and then start over again asking me which option to choose. I have tried choosing the other option and all I got was a black screen with my cursor and nothing more. I have tried many solutions online and so far none of them have worked. A friend of mine told me to "revert the system settings" but I couldn't figure out how to do that. The laptop screen was already cracked from previous encounters with my younger brother and we use an external moniter. I tried resetting my laptop to factory settings by reading somewhere to hold 0 (zero) when I turn the laptop on until it beeps but I got this message:
    Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 083)
    Copyright (C) Intel Corporation
    For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.2.7(11/02/10)
    Check cable connection!
    PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key.
    I have no idea what any of that means but I do not have a disk for my laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated guys!!

    It sounds like it doesn't see the hard drive. It's possible that the drive was disconnected. Many models have a small door on the bottom that you can remove to access the hard drive. You may want to check that it's connected securely. If you don't know what you're looking for, try doing a Google Image search of a laptop hard drive.

  • Laptop will not boot from usb

    Hi
    Im trying to install windows 7 on my levovo laptop because the win 8 os corrupted it gives me a blue screen saying that there has been an error. restarting please wait and it keeps on doing this everytime i launch.but i have a problem...I have a 8gb usb stick with the windows iso on it (done with windows 7 usb/dvd download tool) but it won't boot. i press the lenovo button with the needle to get onto bios and make sure my usb is first on the boot order but it wont boot from it. please help
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello and welcome,
    You didn't say which laptop.  I don't know if that will turn out to be important, but it might.
    If you used the Windows 7 USB prep tool, you probably have an NTFS-formatted flash drive intended for legacy (not UEFI) booting.  Go into BIOS and switch from UEFI to legacy booting and see if that helps.
    Since this was a Win 8 machine the drive is probably GPT formatted.  The Win 7 installer may complain that it can't install to a GPT drive when booted in legacy mode.  If that happens you can use SHIFT-F10 to bring up a command window and run Diskpart.  Diskpart can clean the drive so the legacy installer can format it MBR.
    It's also possible to install in UEFI mode but that would require prepping the flash drive differently.

  • Mountain Lion Update Doesn't Finish - Laptop will not boot

    Hi,
    Last night I saw that there was a Mountain Lion update available for my MacBook Pro.  I've always updated my software as the updates became available.  I had several other apps to update, so I chose "Update All". 
    I got a message at the end that the installation required a reboot, however, the MacBook Pro could not restart as it said that FireFox was canceling the restart.  I looked and the FireFox add-in XMarks was stuck in some type of failed sync mode, and couldn't be stopped.  I was also unable to force FireFox to quit.
    After an hour of this, I finally just had to press the off button and power down.  I assumed that the software update would still continue when I restarted my computer, but all that I have is just a grey screen with the Apple logo and a circular progress indicator that has been going in a circle for about 7 hours.
    I guess my first question would be, "How do I actually boot into my MacBook Pro and get past this grey screen".
    Is my laptop hosed?  If so, how would I go about reinstalling Mountain Lion?  I bought my MacBook Pro on June 21, 2012, so everything should be compatible.  I have previously updated to Mountain Lion without any problems.
    I'd like to find some way to be able to boot up my MacBook and skip this grey screen.  But, if I'm just in disaster recovery mode, how would I obtain a Mountain Lion install DVD?  I've already paid for the update.
    Thanks,
    William

    I found out how to get to the disk utilities.  I also did a verbose log of the boot-up process, and it hung right after it said that the handshake with my internet connection was complete.
    So, for others, Command-R at the boot tone got me to the Disk Utilities, and Command-V at the boot tone gave me verbose logging of the bootup process.
    I repaired my disk and permissions, and nothing changed, so I decided to reinstall Mountain Lion.
    Thanks,
    William
