      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

            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.

                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

                  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

                      @Pikmin I think mounting it somewhere in the web directory of your FOG server would be best. There is some sort of ‘mount loop’ command just for this…

                      It’s something like this; don’t quote me on it… Might be best to do some Googling on it.
                      [CODE]mount -o loop ImageName.img /path/to/mount/to[/CODE]

                      You would then find where the Kernel and the inits are within that mount, and then specify those files in the menu, I THINK. Again, don’t quote me.

                        Thanks Wayne,
                        I had to change the vmlinuz to vmlinuz.efi
                        It loads it and initrd.lz and gets to this part

                        Begin: Trying netboot from 10.0.0.1:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso/ubuntu ... Begin: Trying nfsmount
                        -o nolock -o ro 10.0.0.1:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso/ubuntu /cdrom ... mount call failed - server
                        replied: Permission denied
                        ...
                        

                        I thought it was maybe because when the iso gets mounted root is the owner and group owner, tried to mount as fog (1001) no luck

                        mount -t iso9660 ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso ubuntu -o loop,uid=1001,gid=1001 ro
                        

                        Just to clarify I am mounting the iso to /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso/ubuntu, ubuntu15 iso is in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso folder

                          @Pikmin Permission denied… is probably permissions related or firewall related maybe.

                          I’d give the ISO 777 perms, then if it’s possible (idk because they are read only??) give the files that you mount 777 perms. This would only be temporary and for troubleshooting, of course. You can tighten the screws down later.

                          Something like this:
                          [CODE]chmod -R 777 /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso
                          chown -R apache:apache /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso[/CODE]

                          Also, because you’re mounting to the same directory that the ISO is in, it’s really confusing and I don’t know if that’s the problem or not… just confusing… It’s up to you but if it were me, I’d separate the two… The ISO itself doesn’t need to be in the web directory, just the mount point needs to be there.

                            Oh… where did you do the mount part? in the menu? I don’t think that’s where it goes normally… maybe it’s possible, but probably not…

                            You’d mount it permanently on your FOG server. Then, the host would access those files via Apache exactly the same way it would access the FOG kernel and init and such.

                              I have mounted the iso from the server through a terminal, can’t give it 777 as it’s read only

                              root@fog:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso# mount -t iso9660 ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso ubuntu -o loop,uid=33,gid=33
                              mount: warning: ubuntu seems to be mounted read-only.
                              root@fog:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso# ls -l
                              total 1467942

                              The above didn’t work, as in didn’t get as far, the owner needs to be fog.
                              I think the part I need to work out how to change is the nfs mount that points to /cdrom in the error message i posted below

                                This is what it looks like after vmlinuz.efi and initrd.lz get loaded

                                  @Pikmin ISO9660 is read-only, you can mount it only on RO.

                                    I understand that, just don’t get what I’m doing wrong when following the steps in this thread

                                    Okay all good now, no mention of having to export the path to the mount to NFS. I am new to this, didn’t know

                                      Just got this working for me. In case anybody wants the steps:

                                      First in your /etc/exports add this line:
                                      /var/www/fog/iso/15.04_64 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)

                                      Then restart your nfs server. If you’re running Ubuntu it’s sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart

                                      Next, extract the Ubuntu iso to a direcotry named 15.04_64 in your /var/www/fog/iso directory.

                                      In your Advanced menu use this:
                                      :MENU
                                      menu
                                      item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                                      item ubuntu15.04_64 Boot Ubuntu 15.04
                                      item return return to previous menu
                                      :ubuntu15.04_64
                                      set path /fog/iso/15.04_64
                                      set nfs_path /var/www/fog/ISO/15.04_64
                                      kernel http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/vmlinuz.efi || read void
                                      initrd http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/initrd.lz || read void
                                      imgargs vmlinuz.efi root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${nfs_path} ip=dhcp splash quiet – || read void
                                      boot || read void
                                      goto start

                                      Hopefully it works for you too. You don’t have to set the variables. I just did it that way in case I ever have to change where the iso directory lives.

                                        Thanks aaoyagi, when I realised nfs mount was needed it was easy.
                                        Do you happen to have a working menu for parted magic? I’ve tried both ways with the iso mounted and exported and just path to the iso
                                        Throws an error both times.

                                        UPDATE: looked over it one more time and tried what Tom suggested- removed raw and iso
                                        chain memdisk ||

                                        Working fine, thank you kindly
