    @nsherin The problem you now see is exactly what I described below. Fix your nfsroot path and file locations.

    Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

      @nsherin said in Booting Ubuntu Live CD:

      Also, do you know the parameters I’d need in locale= and keyboard-configuration/layoutcode for a UK keyboard?

      I would say the local for your side of the pond would be en_GB.UTF-8

        Thanks for that - I’ve moved the files from the DVD into /images/os/ubuntu/16.04/mate and modified the parameters to read:

        kernel nfs://t-pxe/images/os/ubuntu/16.04/mate/casper/vmlinuz.efi
        initrd nfs://t-pxe/images/os/ubuntu/16.04/mate/casper/initrd.lz
        imgargs vmlinuz.efi root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=t-pxe:/images/os/ubuntu/16.04/mate/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us quiet splash ip=dhcp rw
        boot || goto MENU

        It’s still complaining about the lack of a file system on the network.

          ok next change (understand I’m swagging it a little)

          Possibly it doesn’t like the dns names here of t-pxe. Replace the t-pxe value with the iPXE menu variable of ${fog-ip} That will then set the ip address of the fog server in there instead of the dns names. Refer to my working menu. on how to place the ipxe variable.

            Thanks! That worked! I replaced t-pxe with the server’s IP 192.168.0.22 and I now have a booted live CD!

              Oh and for a UK keyboard, the syntax is:

              locale=en_GB.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=gb

                  @george1421

                  Almost - I’m just trying Ubuntu Server now and have added another menu option:

                  Menu Item: fog.ubuntu-server
                  Description: Ubuntu Server 16.04
                  Parameters:
                  kernel nfs://192.168.0.22/images/os/ubuntu/16.04/server/install/vmlinuz
                  initrd nfs://192.168.0.22/images/os/ubuntu/16.04/server/install/initrd.gz
                  imgargs vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.22:/images/os/ubuntu/16.04/server/ locale=en_GB.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=gb quiet splash ip=dhcp rw
                  boot || goto MENU

                  I have copied the Ubuntu Server CD contents into /images/os/ubuntu/16.04/server/

                  It boots to the Ubuntu installer and then asks me to insert a CD-ROM.

                  Any ideas would be great. Thanks!

                    @nsherin Again please review this post (especially Note1 where the installer asks for the cdrom during installation. And then note2 where it says where to get what you need): https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10944/using-fog-to-pxe-boot-into-your-favorite-installer-images/6

                      @george1421

                      Thanks for that - I’ve got it booting - my menu entry now looks like:

                      Menu Item: fog.ubuntu-server
                      Description: Ubuntu Server 16.04
                      kernel tftp://192.168.0.22/os/ubuntu/16.04/server/vmlinuz
                      initrd tftp://192.168.0.22/os/ubuntu/16.04/server/initrd.gz
                      imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/nfs netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.0.22:/images/os/ubuntu/16.04/server/ locale=en_GB.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=gb
                      boot || goto MENU

                      Many thanks again for your help!
