Adding Hirens 15.2 boot cd to the boot menu
-
@Wayne-Workman
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
goto start -
@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.

Yes i saw it after i posted it.
This is what i have now
But still no champagne
:hbcd
#open iso with iso editor and remove pmagic to make it ligther
initrd ${fog-ip}/fog/iso/hbcd.iso
kernel memdisk iso raw || goto failed
boot || goto failed
goto start -
try
:hbcd #open iso with iso editor and remove pmagic to make it ligther initrd ${fog-ip}/fog/iso/hbcd.iso kernel memdisk iso raw boot || goto failed goto startalso - make sure the permissions on the iso are good, can you see it in a web browser?

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

@goempie
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 MENUautoboot[/CODE]
Thanks again guys!!

IT WORKS
After the promt i just have to hit enter and then the hirens boots.
Thanks for the help.
I wil try to make a small guide on how to do it.

Please do! I’ll add it to the wiki after you have it made.

Hey! Thanks for the topic!
If it does not exist
mkdir /var/www/fog/isoCopy ISO file
cp SOURCE_PATH/ISO_FILE /var/www/fog/isoAdd
/var/www/fog/iso * (ro, sync, no_wdelay, insecure_locks, no_root_squash, insecure )in
/etc/exportsRun
sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart sudo service rpcbind restartAdd a new menu in FOG WEB GUI
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/ISO_FILE.iso chain memdisk iso rawWORKED PERFECTLY!
