    This doesn’t happen when I try to mount the real iso on esxi 6.7.

    My iPXE menu settings is mirrored from @george1421 tutorial link

      Are you installing LM 19.1 or a later release?

          @rockinhc I don’t have that setup on my fog server any more, I’m downloading 19.2 at the moment. If its like ubuntu you need to make sure you are using the netboot kernels and ints for nfs loading of the OS.

              @rockinhc Fortunately/Unfortunately it works as advertised.

              Here are the steps.

              1. Copied the lm iso to /images.
              2. Ran through this script
              mkdir -p /images/os/mint/19.2
              mkdir -p /tftpboot/mint/19.2
              
              mount -o loop -t iso9660 /images/linuxmint-19.2-cinnamon-64bit.iso /mnt/loop
              
              cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/mint/19.2
              umount /mnt/loop
              
              cp /images/os/mint/19.2/casper/vmlinuz /tftpboot/mint/19.2
              cp /images/os/mint/19.2/casper/initrd.lz /tftpboot/mint/19.2
              

              Pasted this in as parameters

              kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/mint/19.2/vmlinuz
              initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/mint/19.2/initrd.lz
              imgargs vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/os/mint/19.2/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us toram quiet splash
              boot || goto MENU
              

              LM Parms.png

              Spun up a new (bios) vSphere client VM - 1 vCPU, 4GB ram 30GB disk and pxe booted into this:

                  @rockinhc Ok so the million canadian peso question is, what is different between what you had and what you have now? (other than now works)

                    I’m using 19.2 now. 🤷🏻‍♂️

                    I could re-exact 19.1 iso and double check.

                      Yeah, I still get the same error on 19.1. It’s not a problem for me since 19.2 works. I did re-exact the 19.1 iso and retried your steps.

                        @rockinhc OK thank you. We’ll just move forward. I’ll update the tutorial for LM 19.2 and we’ll call it all good then. Thank you for confirming.
