Integrating Hirens Boot 15.2 into fog 1.2.0

Tom Elliott · Dec 18, 2014, 11:01 PM

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]

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 · Dec 18, 2014, 11:11 PM

I don’t know what you mean.

It worked, but it’s not working?

Juan Bertolotti · Dec 18, 2014, 11:19 PM

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

Tom Elliott · Dec 18, 2014, 11:20 PM

Okay,

try removing the iso raw from the:

[code]chain memdisk iso raw[/code]

Juan Bertolotti · Dec 18, 2014, 11:36 PM

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

Tom Elliott · Dec 18, 2014, 11:38 PM

why are you insistent on imgfetch and boot?

Juan Bertolotti · Dec 18, 2014, 11:53 PM

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]

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 · Dec 19, 2014, 4:43 PM

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 · Dec 19, 2014, 4:46 PM

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 · Dec 22, 2014, 8:21 PM

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

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:

I also managed to get any debian based live cd booting.
Thanks!

To clarify,

You’re still using 1.2.0
your ISO is in /var/www/iso

WHAT OS ???

Hirens version 15

Did you have to extract any files? If so, what files?

And your working code:

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

Now i have to ask, is this the hirens boot cd from their site or the revised hirens boot cd thats actually dvd sized at 3 gig? im trying to get the dvd iso to work… too many nice utilities in there.

Hi everyone,
I have tried to create an advanced menu for ubuntu 15
Added the following to advanced menu

:ubuntu15.04_64
initrd http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/iso/ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

It loads the iso from the network, ubuntu splash comes up and starts loading then I get this error message

(initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system

The iso is located in

root@fog:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe# ls -lh iso/
total 1.4G
-rw-r--r-- 1 fog www-data 336M Jun 24 08:27 pmagic_2013_08_01.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 fog www-data 1.1G Jun 24 08:12 ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso

I’m looking at the menu below and it’s got extra options, does that mean I need to extract the iso to the ubuntu folder (in the example) or do I need to mount it to that folder on the fog server?
Thank you for your help and sorry for replying to an old thread but it’s relevant to my issue
