Integrating Hirens Boot 15.2 into fog 1.2.0

[Juan Bertolotti]

/var/www/iso

[Junkhacker]

iso, not ISO?

[Juan Bertolotti]

which permision should I have on that folder?
the name of the folder is iso, I already corrected that on the code , still have the same issue

[Tom Elliott]

Assuming the /var/www/iso is exactly as depicted (case and all) and the exact iso file is exactly “hirensboot.iso” try this:
[CODE]:MENU
menu
item --gap – ------------- Advanced Menu --------------
item HIRENS Boot 15.2 Ghost Version
item RETURN Return to the Top Menu
choose --default RETURN --timeout 30000 target && goto ${target}

:HIRENS
initrd http://${fog-ip}/iso/hirensboot.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

:RETURN
chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
prompt
goto MENU

autoboot[/CODE]

[Juan Bertolotti]

thank you very much, it worked like charm
on a side note just make it worked with hirens 10.0 not 15.2, i still got nothing with 15.2, any ideas?

[Tom Elliott]

I don’t know what you mean.

It worked, but it’s not working?

[Juan Bertolotti]

worked with hirens boot version 10.0 but is not working with version 15.2 ( the newest available )

[Tom Elliott]

Okay,

try removing the iso raw from the:

[code]chain memdisk iso raw[/code]

[Juan Bertolotti]

like this?
[CODE]:hirens15
imgfetch http://${fog-ip}/iso/hirensboot15.iso
boot memdisk ||
goto MENU[/CODE]
Still not working

[Tom Elliott]

why are you insistent on imgfetch and boot?

[Juan Bertolotti]

sorry , my bad, my actual code is:
[CODE]:MENU
menu
item --gap – ------------- Advanced Menu --------------
item hirens10 Hirens Boot 10
item hirens15 Hirens Boot 15
item w64 Windows 7 64b
item RETURN Return to the Top Menu
choose --default RETURN --timeout 30000 target && goto ${target}

:hirens10
initrd http://${fog-ip}/iso/hirensboot10.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

:hirens15
initrd http://${fog-ip}/iso/hirensboot15.iso
chain memdisk ||
goto MENU

:w64
initrd http://${fog-ip}/iso/w764.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

:RETURN
chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
prompt
goto MENU

autoboot[/CODE]

hirens10 works
hirens15 not working ( tried with iso raw and without it )
w764 not working ( tried with iso raw and without it )

According to that post, they had to redownload the hirens-boot-cd and extract the files.

My best guess as to why it’s not working, is it’s not loading the first bytes of the file. Can you try redownloading the file?

[Juan Bertolotti]

I did that with no changes, still getting the same response. Is there any way to pause the script? I think im getting an error message but it goes to fast

[Tom Elliott]

What OS are you running?

Did you get Hiren’s Boot CD 15.2 from [url]http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/[/url] ?

When it was initially released my AV was quietly upset about it and corrupting the file.

Is the Hiren’s.BootCD.15.2.iso:

623,890,432 bytes
CRC32: 66605154
MD5: 7EFC81ADBBD551D56F6021C439C6837C
SHA-1: 565B645851C49C4FB5CF1AF90540A4129033CE66

root@vortex:/var/www/iso# md5sum hirensboot15.iso
7efc81adbbd551d56f6021c439c6837c hirensboot15.iso
i still trying to figure this out

[Juan Bertolotti]

how does promp work? how I should use it in order to see the error message?

[need2]

Add it into your boot menu after you try to load something, forces it to pause instead of dumping you out.

EDIT: Also, looks like your MD5SUM does not match the newer Hirens. Seems like you should go download that.

Solved:
My working menu is:
[CODE]:MENU
menu
item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
item BOOTCD Hirens 15.2 BOOTCD
item mint Linux Mint v2 x64
item shell ipxe shell
choose target && goto ${target}

:BOOTCD
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/hirensboot.iso ||
chain memdisk iso raw ||
boot ||
goto MENU

:mint
kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu/casper/vmlinuz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu/casper/initrd.lz
imgargs vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=la mirror/country=US
boot || goto failed
goto start

:shell
shell ||
goto MENU

autoboot[/CODE]
I also managed to get any debian based live cd booting.
Thanks!
