    @RobTitian16 So you extracted the parted magic iso files into a directory on the base of your web server document root:

    (Probably /var/www or /var/www/html.)

    You created a folder in /var/www or /var/www/html called /var/www/pmagic or /var/www/html/pmagic.

    You copied the contents so you would see a directory listing while in the base pmagic folder of something along the lines of:

    [root@fogserver pmagic]# ls -lhart
    total 500M
    drwxr-xr-x. 17 root   root   4.0K Jun  8 19:26 ..
    drwxr-xr-x.  2 apache apache 4.0K Jun  8 19:26 pmagic
    -rw-r--r--.  1 apache apache   200M Jun  8 19:26 PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz
    

    If you run the info recursively you might see:

    [root@fogserver pmagic]# ls -lharRt
    .:
    total 500M
    drwxr-xr-x. 17 root   root   4.0K Jun  8 19:26 ..
    drwxr-xr-x.  2 apache apache 4.0K Jun  8 19:26 pmagic
    -rw-r--r--.  1 apache apache   200M Jun  8 19:26 PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz
    
    ./pmagic:
    total 200M
    -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 100M Jun 8 19:26 bzImage64
    -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 100M Jun 8 19:26 initrd.img

      @RobTitian16 I only have a 2015 version to compare with, but at the very lest you shouldn’t instruct it to load files it won’t be able to find, yes.

      Not sure where iPXE is pulling the Magic instruction from though?

      Might want to test something like:

      initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic.iso
      chain memdisk iso

        @Tom-Elliott These are the steps I followed:

        I downloaded Parted Magic from Major Geeks (the 2013 version) and put it in my Downloads\Parted Magic folder on my Windows 10 PC.
        I then extracted the ISO within that folder and copied the contents across (minus the iso file) across to /var/www/html/pmagic (I created the folder before and gave other users read and write access) using Filezilla.
        I then ran sh pm2pxe.sh, which produced the PMAGIC-2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz in the html folder, as well as stanza.txt.
        I copied and pasted these two files from the html folder to the pmagic folder (so everything related to pmagic was then in the pmagic folder).
        Following that, I configured the boot menu with the following configuration:

        kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/bzImage64
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/initrd.img
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/fu.img
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/m64.img
        imgargs bzImage64 boot=live ip=dhcp edd=on noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet - || read void
        boot || read void

        Finally, when I run ls -lhart from the html folder, I get the following:

          @Quazz said in Parted Magic Boot Menu:

          initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic.iso
          chain memdisk iso

          Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried that, but I get the same thing.
          The FOG menu says ‘Magic Boot into Parted Magic’ as the option.

            @RobTitian16 I’m running through.

            Immediately there are a few things standing out.

            the kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/bzImage64 appears to actually need to be kernel ${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/bzImage

            The initrd line should be: as you have it from what I can see. (for both of them.)

            The pmagic folder does not contain fu.img or m64.img.

            So

            From what I can tell, your Menu should look like:

            kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/bzImage edd=off load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal loglevel=9 max_loop=256 boot=live ip=dhcp noapic sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet
            initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/initrd.img
            initrd http://${fog-ip}/PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz
            

            I’m running through a test as well just to make sure as I too have downloaded the 2013_08_01.

              There is my working config.

              Parameters as text so less ability of typos.

              initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/initrd.img
              initrd http://${fog-ip}/PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz
              boot

                Thanks for the help so far, it really is appreciated! However, I’m still getting the ‘Magic: command not found’ error whenever I try to boot into Parted Magic. I think it might work if it wasn’t trying to use this Magic command, whatever it may be. I’m not really sure where it’s coming from…

                      @RobTitian16 Please update fog.

                      The issue, as far as I can tell, is the space you most likely have in the name portion of the menu information.

                        @Tom-Elliott Doh… thanks for that!
                        I’ve just tried booting and it starts to look okay, but now I’m stuck on ‘Booting the kernel.’

                          @RobTitian16 mine is under my Advanced Menu but works great like this:
                          :parted
                          initrd ${boot-url}/iso/pmagic.iso
                          chain memdisk ||
                          echo failed to boot
                          prompt
                          goto MENU

                            @Tom-Elliott I’ve just updated FOG to the latest version but I’m still stuck on ‘booting the kernel’, unfortunately.

                              @Andy-Abplanalp Thanks for this! I’m guessing I just need to create an /iso/ folder, assign the permissions and then transfer the pmagic iso over to it?

                                  @Andy-Abplanalp You sir, are a life saver. Thank you very much!
                                  I assume I just add more lines like initrd ${boot-url}/iso/pmagic.iso if I want to use other ISOs?

                                    @RobTitian16 That’s what I’ve done, yes. I discovered, by luck, that not appending anything to memdisk works for certain ISOs. I use Parted Magic frequently, so I was happy to get it working. I’ve never seen this documented anywhere…glad you’re working!
