        Tom, it appears you are directly accessing the Ubuntu ISO (in fact all your iso’s) without mounting first. I didn’t realize this was possible. This makes half of my tutorial method uneccessary :~) Do all iso’s work in this manner?

          Tony,

          I am not accessing any iso’s I am simply taking what was put and making it work for what Biet needed. Beyond that, some iso’s can be directly accessed and some need to be broken from the ISO and told to load their respective initrd and kernel. Which need the separation is directly based upon the ISO manufacturer.

          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! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

          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)

              I load HIREN’s and UBCD directly from the ISO and it works

              Ubuntu 13.10 - Fog 1.3.0
              XEON E5630 - 16 Go - 6To raid 5
              Best download : 22Go in 23 sec
              Avg rate : 4.5G/min on 20 unicasts at same time

                Biet is correct. It really depends on the specific iso in question. Many need to be pre-mounted and have certain files (usually vmlinuz, and initrd) specified. Others will work directly from the iso. Fortunately the most common iso’s have been experimented with at this point and if you search the forum you can find the answers you need for your specific iso.

                  Amazing!!

                  I have tried to do something similar in my FOG server and works fine!

                  FOG server: 1.2.0 latest SVN installed
                  Operating System: Ubuntu 13.10 latest updates installed

                  1. I have understood very well your tutorial. Congratulations!
                  2. I have added a new menu entry in FOG boot menu (it is very easy I think)
                  3. Reading your notes, I have added a Live Ubuntu CD 14.04.2 i386 and it runned ok on client machine.

                  Thank you!

                        Trying to boot clonezilla…

                        Any idea on how to get this going?

                        Currently this is the closest to booting i have… error message below

                        :clonezilla-live-2.3.2-22-amd64
                        kernel http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/clonezilla/vmlinuz
                        initrd http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/clonezilla/initrd.img
                        imgargs vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=clonezilla netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/clonezilla/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us mirror/country=US
                        boot || goto failed

                        came across this https://gist.github.com/robinsmidsrod/dc0dc70adba8dcd79cdf

                        not sure if this would help? tried adding the forth line with no luck

                        #!ipxe
                        kernel /live/vmlinuz
                        initrd /live/initrd.img

                            Which file do you edit ? Is it /tftpboot/default.ipxe ? I can’t see the name of the file you edit in this thread !

                              @lebrun78 there is no file name to edit. It’s the advanced menu which is edited from the GUI.

                                I’m trying to get this working with Arch Linux right now, with FOG Trunk 4491. Here’s my code:

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

                                I get this error:
                                IMG_20151007_170038515.jpg
                                This happens with more than just Arch Linux; I’ve tried it with a couple of distros now including Mint. I’m not too worried about the mirror or keyboard layout; I can fix those later. Not being able to find /dev/nfs is a problem though.

                                  I could be wrong, but is /dev/nfs your own nfs mount point?

                                    @AndersenJ Here’s an example that utilizes the built-in memdisk kernel. https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/DBAN_(Darik’s_Boot_and_Nuke) However doing it this way, you need much more RAM than the size of the ISO. There are cleaner ways to do it, and sometimes other ways are required depending on what bootable ISO you’re trying to use.

                                      @Tom-Elliott /dev/nfs is just something I copied from the initial example. I don’t really understand a lot about iPXE or how it works, or how nfs mounting is supposed to work.

                                          I noticed an additional detail: When I open a web browser to view my.fog.i.p/fog/service/ipxe/arch I can see all my files from the server but not from the computer I’m using as a client. Does anyone know what would cause that?

                                          Edit: never mind, that was an unrelated bug with the client.
