Current Clonezilla is amd64-only. The menu now checks the CPU with iPXE's
cpuid --ext 29 (long mode): 64-bit CPUs get the current release (through
Debian's shim under Secure Boot), 32-bit-only CPUs (Pentium 4 without
EM64T, Pentium M, early Atom) get Clonezilla 3.2.0-5 i686, the last
32-bit release, from clonezilla-i686/. Without a cpuid command the 32-bit
build is used, which also runs on 64-bit CPUs; UEFI always gets the
64-bit build. A 'Clonezilla Live 32-bit' item forces it.
prepare-boot-tools.sh downloads it, the playbook deploys it.
Clonezilla Live runs a Debian-signed kernel whose modules (usb-storage,
uas, exfat) are signed by the same build key, so the menu now starts it
through Debian's Microsoft-signed shim with the iPXE shim command, the
same way Blancco uses Ubuntu's. prepare-boot-tools.sh extracts that shim
from the Clonezilla release (EFI/boot/bootx64.efi -> clonezilla/
shimx64.efi) and warns when the shim is not Microsoft-signed or the
kernel not Debian-signed.
Memtest86+ is unsigned and needed Secure Boot off; memory tests now use
the Dell built-in diagnostics (F12 at power-on, Diagnostics), noted in
the menu. The playbook removes the old memtest web dir. Nothing on the
menu needs Secure Boot off any more; the 'disable Secure Boot' screen
remains only as the fallback when a signed path fails.
Clonezilla 3.2.1-6 is gone from the mirrors (the download failed and the
unzip aborted the script before Memtest). Memtest moved its downloads to
download/v<ver>/, and 8.x names the x86_64 UEFI binary mt86p_<ver>_x86_64
with no .efi suffix; the script now finds it.
playbook/blancco-preferences.xml is now the vendor 7.20 preferences
(schema 4.20, "Non_GEAE_Wired" profile) with only our site overrides:
SMB report share on 172.16.9.1 with auto_backup, WiFi INTERNETACCESS for
cloud licensing (wired stays up for SMB), manual as the fallback process,
bootable report, screensaver 86400. workflow default=true is kept: the
cloud workflow erases unattended, as live 7.15 already did. No custom
fields, matching both the vendor image and live 7.15.
prepare-boot-tools.sh:
- 7.20 initramfs is an uncompressed early cpio (NIC firmware, itself
.xz files) followed by the XZ archive. The old patch decompressed from
byte 0, failed, warned and carried on, so PXE boots would drop network
after copytoram. Walk the cpio to its trailer and patch the XZ part.
- Patch exactly one copytoram match or fail. The looser fallback pattern
matches five hooks in 7.20.
- config.img now carries playbook/blancco-preferences.xml, so the BIOS
(native kernel) and UEFI (HTTP) paths read the same settings. Refuses
to build if the playbook preferences are for another Blancco version.
- The old global replace() also set the 802.1x, WiFi and repeater
passwords to "blancco". Gone with the above.
- Keep preferences.xml size by refilling the NUL gap before the trailing
filler comment (7.20), or trimming the comment (7.15).
- OUT_DIR can be overridden to stage a build outside boot-tools/.
Single-site bay-stuck issue at WJ: GE Intune Report IP script filters
Get-NetIPAddress on StartsWith("10.") and posts everything matching
to the GE Tines webhook. Bays at WJ get the PXE LAN 10.9.100.x IP
captured and reported -> GE backend tags bays as on a non-corp 10.x
subnet -> dynamic group eligibility for SFLD policy never matches.
Other GE sites work because their PXE LANs aren't on 10.x at all.
Renumber PXE LAN to RFC1918 172.16.9.0/24 so the GE filter naturally
skips wired PXE addresses without any disable-NIC dance.
Server-side already in flight (netplan dual-bound, dnsmasq scope +
boot URL repointed, blancco preferences + grub.cfg + iPXE GetPxeScript
all sed'd to 172.16.9.1). This commit is the playbook / scripts /
docs side: 109 hits across 35 files sed'd in one shot.
After this lands + boot.wim is rebuilt + bays renumber off DHCP,
the 10.9.100.1 binding will be dropped from netplan as the final
cleanup step.

Workstation reorganization:
- All build/deploy/helper scripts moved into scripts/ (paths updated to use
REPO_ROOT instead of SCRIPT_DIR so they resolve sibling dirs from the new
depth)
- New config/ directory placeholder for site-specific overrides
- Removed stale: mok-keys/, test-vm.sh, test-lab.sh, setup-guide-original.txt,
unattend/ (duplicate of moved playbook/FlatUnattendW10.xml)
- README.md and SETUP.md structure listings updated, dead "Testing with KVM"
section removed
- .claude/ gitignored
Enrollment share internal taxonomy (forward-looking; existing servers
unaffected since they keep their current boot.wim with flat paths):
- Single SMB share kept (WinPE only mounts one Y: drive), but content now
organised into ppkgs/, scripts/, config/, shopfloor-setup/, pre-install/{bios,
installers}, installers-post/cmm/, blancco/, logs/
- README.md deployed to share root explaining each subdir
- New playbook tasks deploy site-config.json + wait-for-internet.ps1 +
migrate-to-wifi.ps1 explicitly (were ad-hoc on legacy servers)
- BIOS subdir moved into pre-install/bios/, preinstall/ renamed to pre-install/
- startnet.cmd + startnet-template.cmd updated with new Y:\subdir\ paths
- Bumped GCCH PPKG references v4.9 -> v4.10
Blancco USB-build fixes (so next fresh USB install boots Blancco end-to-end
without the manual fixup we did against GOLD):
- grub-blancco.cfg: kernel/initrd switched HTTP -> TFTP (GRUB's HTTP module
times out on multi-MB files); added modprobe.blacklist=iwlwifi,iwlmvm,btusb
(WiFi drivers hang udev on Intel business PCs)
- grubx64.efi rebuilt from updated cfg
- Playbook task added to create /srv/tftp/blancco/ symlinks pointing at the
HTTP-served binaries
run-enrollment.ps1: OOBEComplete is now set AFTER PPKG install (Win11 22H2+
hangs indefinitely if OOBEComplete is set before the bulk-enrollment PPKG runs).
Also includes deploy-bios.sh / pull-bios.sh / busybox-static / models.txt
that were sitting untracked at the repo root.
