      [quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 45760, member: 7271”]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.[/quote]

      Awesome, trying this now. Thank you so much for your help and quick responses!

        No problem. I try to be quick to help out. I remember my times trying to learn all of this.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          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.
