    I am looking to install the latest Ubuntu Server via PXE and could use some help. I am using the vmlinuz and initrd from the 24.04.04 iso image, but unable to construct a working imgargs statement (and I have tried hundreds of iterations). Wondering if anyone has gotten this to work.

    .ISO is ubuntu-24.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso

    In my FOG PXE menu I have added

    kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/24.04/vmlinuz
    initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/24.04/initrd
    imgargs “look below”
    boot || goto MENU

    Kernel and initrd seem to load fine.

    When I use
    imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd boot=casper root=live:nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/UBUNTU24.04.04/ubuntu-24.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso ip=dhcp inst.repo=nfs:${fog-ip}:/images/UBUNTU24.04.04 splash quiet
    I get an “/init: line 38: can’t open /dev/sr0: No medium found” error

    When I use
    imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=1500000 boot=casper ip=dhcp url=http://${fog-ip}/fog/os/ubuntu-24.04.4-live-server-amd64.iso
    It seems to start the installation process, but hangs at “[ok] Finished systemd-update-done.service - Update is Completed”

    I’m stuck here, and have been anging my head on this for hours, lol. Has anyone gotten this to work? Thank you!!

    @Tom-Elliott I really appreciate that you are putting effort into providing more frequent releases, which makes it easier for everyone to deploy new security fixes in time. Keep up the good work!

    @youzersef Ok, see how long it takes me to get back on a project…lol

    I did some more looking, and found yes, the GUI will re-write the dhcp config file. However I did some more reading and I guess services.inc determines what is written by the GUI.

    Sorry, not a CLI guy, and I love the quick and easy edits, viewing issues that the GUI provides. Like Fog ! However my servers are headless…lol

    Anyway, looking that route now, and will update if I find how Negate wants services edited so when it reboots, DHCP will remain.

    Determined 🙂

    Any thank you everyone here . This place has always been great for information !

    Every time after updating to a new build, the first image works, but the next one doesn’t.
