    kernel http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/vmlinuz.efi || read void <---- there is nog casper/vmlinuz.efi in the iso that i extracted?
    initrd http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/initrd.lz || read void

    These two things are your kernel and your init.

    so fog-ip is auto-filled in with your FOG IP. The path is set in the boot entry, it’s this line:
    set path /fog/iso/15.04_64

    So your path would be /fog/iso/15.04_64

    Put that all together and you have a web URL:

    x.x.x.x/fog/iso/15.04_64/casper/vmlinuz.efi

    Where x.x.x.x is your fog server IP, of course.

    What the iPXE boot script is trying to do is load the kernel and init via HTTP, through a web request basically.

    So… it may be that the mounted directory cannot be read by Apache due to permissions or placement, or it could be that the files listed there just aren’t where they should be.

    Either way, you need to sort that out, or figure out how to do it via NFS fully. In the wiki link below, you’ll find an example in the “Parted Magic - Older” area. Not sure if a Linux kernel will work with Hirens though! Probably not!

      @goempie the “boot” folder in that picture you posted looks promising… look around in there… Maybe you’ll find the files you need to point to…

        @Wayne-Workman

        The whole directory /casper/… just isn’t there, and its not explained in the wiki how they get there.
        It just say’s extract the hirens boot cd to the directory /fog/iso/15.04_64

        I’m not shure to wich file i should point in the hirens iso to make it boot.

            @goempie I did a little looking, the below thread over at ipxe.org may be of interest to you:

            http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=7052

            There’s an example in there that someone claimed works. It might need adjusted though as those posts are from 2013.

            If you get it working, please do list your steps.

              :hbcd
              #open iso with iso editor and remove pmagic to make it ligther
              initrd ${boot-url}/images/hbcd152.iso
              kernel ${boot-url}/memdisk iso raw || goto failed
              boot || goto failed
              goto start

              In the above example they are pointing to the *.iso file itself.
              So this means that they don’t mount the iso on the fog server?

                @goempie Looks that way, yes. And looks like they are using the standard Memdisk kernel too.

                  @goempie But I don’t think that fog has a boot-url iPXE variable. You may need to piece that together with the fog-ip variable and set a path like in the other examples.

                    @Wayne-Workman what is the path to the memdisk kernel?

                      Look at the boot menu entry for memdisk… You should be able to see it through the web interface.

                          I pulled this from the boot.php output when I gave it a registered MAC as a parameter.
                          http://x.x.x.x/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac0=00:1e:37:54:9b:70

                          initrd memtest.bin

                            I moved the hbcd.iso to the directory /var/www/fog/iso/hbcd.iso
                            Then i changed the menu entry, but no party

                            :hbcd
                            #open iso with iso editor and remove pmagic to make it ligther
                            set path /fog/iso
                            set nfs_path /var/www/fog/iso/15.04_64
                            initrd ${fog-ip}${path}/fog/iso/hbcd.iso
                            kernel ${fog-ip}$ kernel memdisk iso raw || goto failed
                            boot || goto failed

                              @goempie the pathing is wrong. you already have /fog/iso in your path variable, don’t need to do it again.

                              also I don’t think you have to specify an IP for the memdisk kernel.

                                      This is what i see when i go to /fog/service/ipxe/boot.php

                                      So i don’t think tha the :hbcd in the begining is necessary.
                                      But i deleted it and stil it doesn’t work.

                                      :hirensbcd
                                      :hbcd

                                        I did a little digging - this thread looks very promising:

                                        https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/3229/ipxe-iso-boot-problems

                                        Specifically this post:

                                        @csurepair said in IPXE ISO boot problems:

                                        Wahoo!!

                                        Shes up and running! Thank you both for the feedback, you guys deserve a beer! If your ever in Fort Collins, Colorado PM me haha.

                                        So for everyone else my problem was totally due to syntax and directory location,

                                        By changing CODE initrd ${fog-ip}/fog/iso/Hirens152.iso[/CODE] to CODE initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/iso/Hirens152.iso[/CODE] iPXE was able to fully resolve the path. This was only accomplished by making iPXE produce some sort of feedback via the below code(most graciously posted by Junkhacker),

                                        menu
                                        item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                                        item BOOTCD Hirens BOOTCD
                                        item shell ipxe shell
                                        choose target && goto ${target}

                                        :BOOTCD
                                        initrd 192.168.1.130/fog/iso/Hirens152.iso ||
                                        echo failed to load iso if it stops here
                                        prompt
                                        chain memdisk iso raw ||
                                        echo failed to chain memdisk if it stops here
                                        prompt
                                        boot ||
                                        echo failed to boot here if it stops here
                                        prompt
                                        goto MENU

                                        :shell
                                        shell ||
                                        goto MENU

                                        autoboot[/CODE]

                                        Thanks again guys!!

                                          Ok getting there.

                                          initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/iso/hbcd.iso ||
                                          echo failed to load iso if it stops here
                                          prompt
                                          chain memdisk iso raw ||
                                          echo failed to chain memdisk if it stops here
                                          prompt
                                          boot ||
                                          echo failed to boot here if it stops here
                                          prompt
                                          goto MENU

                                          When i boot i see that it downloads the iso then it comes to 100% and then i get the message

                                          failed to load iso if it stops here
