Toshiba NB200 - ZenWorks 7 - Imaging

[dmantz]

Anthony,
I am in a small public school district in Central Kansas. We are purchasing the Toshiba NB205 series. It too has a Realtek PCI FE driver r8169 but when we PXE Boot and get to the Linux screen we get the following error: "Could not find the ZENworks Repository". We had already installed the ZENworks updates from May as well as restarted our ZENworks imaging server. Do you have any suggestions for since you are at least able to start the imaging process?

We have just purchased 90 of the Toshiba NB200.
With a "Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller"
Versions are (?): 8101E / 8102E (L) / 8103E (L) / 081016

We currently are using ZenWorks 7 and ZenWorks imaging. We have been able to use imaging on all our current computers and laptops.

When we try and PXE Boot or CD-ROM boot the Toshiba NB200, the imaging takes over a 12 hours, for a basic image.

We are wondering the following:
1. Does anyone have the same problem
2. Can we find out how to add new drivers and where from
3. Does anyone know of a fix or why this would take over 12 hours to put or pull an image.

All of our other PCs and Laptops work like a dream.

Does anyone have any of these NetBooks?

We may be forced to use Symantec Ghost again.

Any ideas on how to fix this, or even on how to add current drivers to the PXE and CD-ROM Boot?

Cheers and thanks in advance,
