My only regret is that I can only give a post one ‘like’.

Could someone do an entry for GParted? The [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Include_GParted’]Include Gparted[/URL] wiki page is out of date now and I can’t get the ISO to boot properly using the methods above.
I get as far as the GParted grub menu but once I try to boot to gparted, I get pages of
[CODE]modprobe: module unknown not found in modules.dep[/CODE]
followed by a blackscreen.

iPXE menu entry below
[CODE]:gparted
initrd http://${fog-ip}/ISO/gparted-live-0.18.0-2-i486.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU[/CODE]

I found this which appears to be the same issue (a memdisk issue) but I am not sure how to implement the fix.

UPDATE; I got it working.
I copied vmlinuz, initrd.img and filesystem.squashfs from gparted into /var/www/fog/gparted/
and then updated my iPXE menu as follows:

kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/vmlinuz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/initrd.img
imgargs vmlinuz boot=live config union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/filesystem.squashfs
boot[/CODE]

All tested and working now.

Grezz

Junkhacker · May 27, 2014, 7:10 PM

to whatever location you specified in the menu

okay. i saved the iso under var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso. but it doesnt work.

domii666 · May 28, 2014, 8:05 AM

pls help

jbsclm · May 28, 2014, 8:38 AM

The client doesn’t understand paths on the fog server, only http paths.

:WIN7PE64BIT
initrd var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

Needs to be

:WIN7PE64BIT
initrd [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

OR

:WIN7PE64BIT
initrd [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

Both should tell the client to look in the same place, although the first form is preferable.

If this fails check your apache log, it will tell you where i is looking for the iso.

domii666 · May 28, 2014, 8:56 AM

okay thx, where i find the apache log?

jbsclm · May 28, 2014, 9:41 AM

The log location is os dependent,

Debian based Location (normally)
/var/log/apache2
Redhat based Location (normally)
/var/log/httpd

there are 2 logs, access.log and error.log.

The messages you need will probably be in the access log, search for WindowsAIO.iso starting at the end, you should see a status 404, which says not found
You can test by typing the following in to your browser

[URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://<fog_ip_address>/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
replacing <fog_ip_address> with your fog server ip.

eg
[URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://192.168.3.11/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

domii666 · May 28, 2014, 1:02 PM

my fog ip is 192.168.2.100

is this correct? [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

or [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${192.168.2.100}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

Junkhacker · May 28, 2014, 1:06 PM

the first of those two is correct, assuming that you have that file located in /var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
[URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]${fog-ip}[/URL] is a variable set to your server’s IP, in your case “fog”
[URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]${fog-webroot}[/URL] is a variable set to the root of your fog installation, in your case “192.168.2.100”

domii666 · May 28, 2014, 2:27 PM

when i type [url]http://192.168.2.100/ISO/Windows8x64.iso[/url] it will start the download…i think it work but in the fog menu it goes direclty back to the menu.

Junkhacker · May 28, 2014, 2:37 PM

if you paste your advanced menu code here, i will help you troubleshoot it
please use the “code” format button when doing so.

And if it’s not located in /var/www/fog/ISO and is located in /var/www/ISO the booturl should be:
