      Hello everyone,

      I tried to set up GParted Liveboot from this guide:
      https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/8301/gparted-setting-for-fog-1-3-0-rc7-tested-working

      but when i start to select the item there comes this kind of error:

      alt text

      I saw that the IP was missing so i tried to change the configuration a bit.
      to this:

      kernel http://192.168.1.128/iso/gparted/live/vmlinuz vmlinuz boot=live config components union=overlay username=user noswap noeject ip= vga=788 fetch=${192.168.1.128}/iso/gparted/live/filesystem.squashfs
      initrd http://192.168.1.128/iso/gparted/live/initrd.img
      boot

      alt text

      when i saved the configuration and boot up a test machine, after selecting GPartet as bootoption the screen turns black and nothing big happens.

      Please tell me where i went wrong.

      Thans User.

        With the http redirection that fog is currently using, its a bit difficult to host other files under the http protocol.

        So what can you do?

        Move to one of the other supported protocols like tftp:// or nfs://

        To use the tftp:// protocol you would update your menu to be something like this (note I fixed your fetch kernel parameter too).

        kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/iso/gparted/live/vmlinuz vmlinuz boot=live config components union=overlay username=user noswap noeject ip= vga=788 fetch=tftp://${fog-ip}/iso/gparted/live/filesystem.squashfs
        initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/iso/gparted/live/initrd.img
        

        The only thing I’m unsure of is if the kernel supports tftp pulling. Also the variable ${fog-ip} is replaced by the fog menu with the IP address of your fog server. Hard coding the IP address in the fog menu doesn’t make it very portable.

        So since we are using tftp:// protocol you need to place the files in /tftpboot/iso/gparted based directory.

        If that doesn’t work then you could try nfs:// which should be supported by the linux kernel.

        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!

            @george1421 I setup everything as instructed, but I still have an error. My extracted iso is at /tftpboot/iso/gparted.

            My menu config file parameters are

            kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/iso/gparted/live/vmlinuz vmlinuz boot=live config components union=overlay username=user noswap noeject ip= vga=788 fetch=tftp://${fog-ip}/iso/gparted/live/filesystem.squashfs
            initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/iso/gparted/live/initrd.img
            boot

            What might I be doing wrong?

            OS: CentOS 8

            Error: Operation not supported could not boot (http://ipxe.org/3c126003)

              Do you have the ISO file extracted to /tftpboot/iso/gparted/ on your FOG server?

              @george1421 By the way, do you think the double ... vmlinuz vmlinuz ... in that line is correct? I don’t think it’s causing an issue but nevertheless stumbled upon this.

              Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

              Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

                @sebastian-roth Yes, that is where the iso was extracted to.

                  Well that format is understood but still a little confusing to read. If you rewrite the call so its a bit clearer it would look like this

                  kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/iso/gparted/live/vmlinuz 
                  initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/iso/gparted/live/initrd.img
                  imgargs vmlinuz boot=live config components union=overlay username=user noswap noeject ip= vga=788 fetch=tftp://${fog-ip}/iso/gparted/live/filesystem.squashfs
                  boot
                  

                  In regards to the OP’s error. One might think that secure boot is turned on or you are trying to boot a bois or uefi boot image with the opposite firmware.

                  What I might do is on the fog server and run file /tftpboot/iso/gparted/live/vmlinuz to see if it comes back as a valid linux kernel.

                    @george1421 I set the computer to boot to Legacy and also updated the FOG parameter settings to what you posted.

                    As far as the Kernel goes, running file /tftpboot/iso/gparted/live/vmlinuz returned:

                    /tftpboot/iso/gparted/live/vmlinuz: Linux kernel x86 boot executable bzImage, version 5.10.0-6-686 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) #1 SMP Debian 5.10.28-1 (2021-04-09), RO-rootFS, swap_dev 0x4, Normal VGA

                    It still will not boot to Gparted. Can you post instructions on how to properly download and
                    extract the iso to that folder? Maybe I did not do that correctly.

                    Here are my menu parameters:

                      Out of curiosity, how come this was marked as solved? Still cannot boot into GPARTED. Is there something wrong with my tftp settings? Any other methods?

                        Not sure if you noticed but this is an old topic that was marked solved even before you posted. That’s one of the reasons why we keep telling people to open their very own topics and post all their details in that new one. Makes things a lot clearer. If you think a lot of the information is in the old topic, then just link to it from your new one.

                        Please add details like the exact commands used to prepare the files and version of GParted you use as this might make a difference. As well post if you boot in UEFI or legacy BIOS mode and if it’s a VM setup or on hardware.

                        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

                          Here is my current config in FOG, using latest gparted zip file (as of Dec. 2021):

                          kernel http://${fog-ip}/gparted/vmlinuz initrd=initrd.magic 
                          initrd http://${fog-ip}/gparted/initrd.img
                          imgargs vmlinuz boot=live union=overlay username=user config components quiet noswap  toram=filesystem.squashfs net.ifnames=0  nosplash fetch=http://${fog-ip}/gparted/filesystem.squashfs
                          boot || goto MENU
                          

                          Gparted boots fine. πŸ™‚
