      Actually, here is my menu… any help appreciated…

      I extracted all files from the Ubuntu 14.04.1 i386 to /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/images/ubuntu14041

      set boot-url [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe[/url]
      set boot-nfs ${fog-ip}:/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe
      :MENU
      menu
      item --gap – Boot Menu Advanced
      item WinPE7 WinPE 7
      item Ubuntu14 Ubuntu 14
      item return return to previous menu
      choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

      :WinPE7
      sanboot ${boot-url}/iso/winpe7.iso
      goto MENU

      :Ubuntu14
      kernel ${boot-url}/images/ubuntu14041/casper/vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs/ vga=normal boot=casper netboot=nfs fetch:${boot_url}/images/ubuntu14041/casper/filesystem.squashfs nfsroot=${boot-nfs}/images/ubuntu14041/
      initrd ${boot-url}/images/ubuntu14041/casper/initrd.lz
      boot
      goto MENU

        [quote=“Jose Antonio Sanchez, post: 35737, member: 25349”]/images as in the same as where the computer images get stored and therefore that’s where my /ubuntu folder should be at
        [/quote]
        That one.

        /var… is boot_url and web directory
        /images is where the rest of your images are stored. that should have a fully extracted ubuntu dvd in a directory there. i

          By this you mean the following?:

          /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/images/ubuntu14041 <- this folder has only these three files: vmlinuz initrd.lz and filesystem.squashfs

          /images/ubuntu14041 <- this has the entire contents of the ISO

            /images/ubuntu14041
            and in
            /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/images/ubuntu14041

            ==================================
            set boot-url [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe[/url]
            set boot-nfs ${fog-ip}:/images
            :MENU
            menu
            item --gap – Boot Menu Title

                Is there a way to display Link Speed? 10Mbit 100Mbit 1000Mbit??
                Or is there a very light boot disk that can do it???

                I looked over at the ipxe.org site and could not find anything on link/media speed…

                Any ideas???

                Having this info helps reduce the time figuring out which PC is the bad one when there is very slow multicast…

                  I usually live boot ubuntu then test from speedtest.net.

                  Also can break the group into smaller groups, then test multicast speed, determine which group is slower, repeat until you only have a few computers to test.

                  I had to troubleshoot a lab of 60 computers and that’s how I did it. Not super elegant unfortunately.

                  It might also be possible to boot into debug mode and run a few linux commands like ethtools to see link speeds.

                    I could not get Ubuntu to PXE boot with network access, it doesn’t see any network cards… Ubuntu Live takes a while to boot on a 100MB network too…

                    The ethtools… I’ll give it a try…

                    DebugMode does show the Link Speed as it boots:

                    e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None

                    I learned that you can Shift + PgUp to scroll back into the boot time messages…

                      Yeah ran into the same problem, here’s my solution on Ubuntu:
                      sudo dhclient eth0
