        @petec /tftpboot is the right directory then. But as Sebastian said, there are many methods of pxe booting once you get iPXE loaded into memory. The PXE Rom only supports tftp protocol, so iPXE will need to be transferred via tftp. Once iPXE is running then you can use other protocols like NFS and HTTP(S), which are much faster protocols than tftp.

          depends on how you wa

          I think i figured out how the directories work. Now i upload and extract Gparted inside /tftpboot/gparted and i set these parameters according to a tutorial i found online:

          kernel fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
          append initrd=fog/gparted/live/initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2/fog/filesystem.squashfs

          The client gives me the following error:

          fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz…ok
          append command not found

          Any tutorials or examples for 1.5.9 that work?

            append initrd=fo

            This is a syslinux command not iPXE. You want imgargs keyword for kernel parameters. https://ipxe.org/cmd/imgargs

              @petec said in Version 1.5.9 default directory for iso:

              kernel fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
              append initrd=fog/gparted/live/initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2/fog/filesystem.squashfs

              But I can also tell you this is wrong too. I would rewrite it as

              kernel /fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
              initrd fog/gparted/live/initrd.img
              imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2
              

              This command might still give you some problems if you don’t have what its wanting to fetch in the right location.

              You might want to review this post: https://forums.fogproject.org/post/140524 since it appears similar to your imgargs

                @george1421 said in Version 1.5.9 default directory for iso:

                /fog/filesystem.squashfs

                so here is the current config, with all the paths checked.

                kernel /fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
                initrd /fog/gparted/live/initrd.img
                imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2/fog/filesystem.squashfs

                Error

                Could not select: Exec format error

                im kinda lost. Most of the info online are for the older versions.

                  @petec That message “Exec format error” is because something is wrong with vmlinuz. Either its not in the right path, the file is corrupt, or something else was keeping it from starting up.

                  Confirm that your kernel is in
                  /tftpbboot/fog/gparted/live on the fog server

                  you can also use the linux command file /tftpbboot/fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz to read the kernel header.

                  Remember for the different protocols, they have different doc roots on the FOG server.

                  tftp: /tftoboot
                  nfs: /images
                  http: /var/www (for debian variants) /var/www/html (for rhel variants)

                    Its the right path,

                      @petec You are seeing it transfer the kernel and the init? Do you have a screenshot of the error (clear picture taken with mobile phone)? If the path is right and the kernel is right, ipxe should at least try to boot it.

                          @petec Your screen shot doesn’t show its downloading the initrd image before it tries to boot the kernel. That is strange. The kernel should boot without the initrd only so far, but it should boot.

                          So the next bit is to help a bit more with debugging. In the web ui ->FOG Configuraiton -> FOG Settings menu. There should be a value for logging level. It may be 1 or 4, turn it up to 7. This will inform the linux kernel booting to send all log messages to the console. This should give us a bit more detail.

                          The next bit is to use a windows web browser and browse to http://<fog_server_ip>/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=00:00:00:00:00 This will print out a bunch of text, copy and paste that text into a new post. That is the iPXE menu commands that builds the FOG iPXE menu. I want to look at the configuration for your menu. There has to be something off here.

                              Keep in mind that the photo is EFI, if i do Legacy is downloads it and then comes to the same error

                                @petec OK here is the part of the menu that seems to be causing the problem.

                                kernel /fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
                                initrd /fog/gparted/live/initrd.img
                                imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2/fog/filesystem.squashfs
                                

                                Lets change the parameter block to look like this

                                kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/live/vmlinuz
                                initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/live/initrd.img
                                imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img boot=live union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://10.0.0.2/fog/filesystem.squashfs
                                boot || goto MENU
                                

                                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!
