Parted Magic Boot Menu

[RobTitian16]

@Tom-Elliott said in Parted Magic Boot Menu:

kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/bzImage64 edd=off load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal loglevel=9 max_loop=256 boot=live ip=dhcp noapic sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/initrd.img
initrd http://${fog-ip}/PMAGIC_2013_08_01.SQFS.cgz
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 I need to see the whole thing man. Can you post a pic of your menu setup please.

Like this?

@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.

[RobTitian16]

@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

[RobTitian16]

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

[RobTitian16]

@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]

@RobTitian16 that sounds correct

[RobTitian16]

@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?

[Andy Abplanalp]

@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!
