        Maybe you could try:

        menu item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
        item IBM IBM - 7875 Update 4/17/15
        item SHELL iPXE Shell
        item return return to previous menu
        choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

        :IBM sanboot http://192.168.1.3/iso/IBM.ISO ||
        goto MENU

        :SHELL shell ||
        goto MENU

        :RETURN chain http://192.168.1.3/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
        prompt
        goto MENU

        autoboot[/code]

          I’m not entirely sure about the issue you have, but you can increase the number you can update from 15 to whatever you like in FOG settings.

            Wow super quick response! Thank you! Will test this right now!

            @Wayne Workman

            Thanks for the input, however that wouldn’t help because I only have 14 slots in my enclosure. The issue is that I am getting a MEMDISK Bootstrap too large to load error when the ISO is being pushed to the server through the network. Assuming that there is not enough RAM, or something similar to that.

              I added this and when I select the update it flashes an error for 0.1 seconds and goes back to the boot loop. The error flashes too fast for me to read.

              edit: Here is there error:

                Alright

                There are other cases to test.

                Maybe:
                [code]:MENU
                menu item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                item IBM IBM - 7875 Update 4/17/15
                item SHELL iPXE Shell
                item return return to previous menu
                choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

                :IBM initrd http://192.168.1.3/iso/IBM.ISO
                chain memdisk iso ||
                goto MENU

                :SHELL shell ||
                goto MENU

                :RETURN chain http://192.168.1.3/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
                prompt
                goto MENU

                autoboot[/code]

                Or:
                [code]:MENU
                menu item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                item IBM IBM - 7875 Update 4/17/15
                item SHELL iPXE Shell
                item return return to previous menu
                choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

                :IBM initrd http://192.168.1.3/iso/IBM.ISO
                chain memdisk ||
                goto MENU

                :SHELL shell ||
                goto MENU

                :RETURN chain http://192.168.1.3/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
                prompt
                goto MENU

                autoboot[/code]

                OR

                it’s trying to find itself which, once off of iPXE it no longer can do which means it’s looking for a particular kernel and/or initrd from within the ISO.

                      Yeah, its been pretty hectic haha. I unfortunately will lose access to everything in 10 minutes until Monday. But I will implement the new tests Monday morning, and will be monitoring this thread throughout the weekend.

                        No problem. Do you by chance know where I could get a copy of this so I could test and maybe get a good solution for you?

                              No thank you!

                              Dropbox Link: [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/4bgvm8h9l47zmw2/bootable.iso?dl=0[/url]
                              ISO Title: bootable.iso
                              File Size: 933MB

                              I can upload the PXEDIR files as well when I get home. The IBM tool let me download the ISO as well as a PXE implementation option which I have no clue how to add.

                                  I downloaded the file, and that was about the extent of my progress. I’m sorry. I was doing house chores that needed being done.

                                    Haha, no worries. Completely understandable. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this sucker.

                                          I had to chain boot pxe to ipxe using the pxelinux.0 but not the pxelinux.0.old but one that was provided by ibm in the pxedir folder.

                                          It boots to the ipxe.krn and launches the grub.cfg which then loads img2a and img3a.

                                          (From our conversations) akwan stated this. It’s quite convoluted, but it works.
