Having trouble booting live image

[dvaldez]

I’m using Fog 1.2.0 with IPXE

The iso I’m trying to load is a customized lubuntu image which boots and works just fine as a live image on some local host computer as well as in a virtual box. I have mounted the .iso file in the [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty[/url] directory using the command:
[INDENT=1]mount -o loop lublive1.iso trusty/[/INDENT]

Configuration 1:

:lublive1
initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/lublive1.iso[/url]
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

The iso image appears to download, the lubuntu splash screen appears with the loading bar, then it shows the following:

[INDENT=1]command line: iso raw[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]MEMDISK: Image seems to have fractional end cylinder[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]MEMDISK: Image appears to be truncated[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]Disk is hd96, 149248 K, C/H/S = 65535/255/15 (El Torito/El Torito), EDD on, rw[/INDENT]

[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
INDENT=1 Unable to find a medium containing a live file system[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
Configuration 2:

:lublive2
kernel [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty/casper/vmlinuz[/url] boot=casper netboot=nfs
nfsroot=[url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty[/url]
initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty/casper/initrd.lz[/url]
boot || goto MENU
autoboot

The pxe boot fails immediately and boots from the harddrive

Configuration 3:

:lublive3
imgfetch [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/lublive1.iso[/url]
boot memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

Once again the iso image loads, the splash screen appears, but the result/error is the same as Configuration 1.

Configuration 4:

:lublive4
kernel [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty/casper/vmlinuz[/url]
initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty/casper/initrd.lz[/url]
imgargs vmlinuz boot=live config console=ttyS0 fetch=[url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty/casper/filesystem.squashfs[/url]
boot

it appears to load vmlinuz and initrd but then the screen becomes blank and is unresponsive, I let it sit for a while in case it was loading the image and just taking a while but nothing happened.

I also tried booting the unaltered standard lubuntu image and although it didn’t show the initial Memdisk errors as before, it still loaded a BusyBox shell and said “Unable ot find a medium containing a live file system”

Any help or insight would be much appreciated.

the “boot memdisk iso raw” method won’t work with linux disks, typically
on the other one’s, you might be able to get some hints from this page [url]https://gist.github.com/robinsmidsrod/2234639[/url]
