[Fog] Dell E5420 with XP failing to capture image

[localzuk]

We have taken delivery of a bunch of Dell Latitude E5420 notebooks and we have finally managed to get an XP install working properly on them (after much faffing with drivers, even though Dell say XP is supported).

When we try to grab an image from the machine in Fog, it starts the disk resize, sits for a while, undoes the resize and reboots, without doing any imaging.

Has anyone got any tips, clues or ideas what is causing this and how we can resolve it?

have you tried setting bios to ide more rather than sata native might not understand the controller properly

Yup. XP won't install without doing that.

acpi=off irqpoll

in the host kernel arguments?
