        @dureal99d Looking at my own boot items, I do not appear to have a trailing slash. Try removing that from your boot options.

        If it still has issues after that, see if you can manually mount that NFS location.

        You can base yourself on https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_NFS replace paths where necessary.

          @Quazz Keep in mind in bios boot mode these options work just fine, the issue exist in uefi mode.

          also, what is a trailing slash?

            @dureal99d It’s a forward slash / at the end of the url.

            I don’t know why it would work in BIOS mode, honestly. Or perhaps why not in UEFI. Secure Boot is off on the target device, right?

              yes I am also at a loss, that is also what I find strange, I see no reason I can upload and download an image but not boot these isos in uefi mode. its crazy to me. but ive read uefi is pretty pick about stuff so who knows?

                @dureal99d You should use subtree_check, not no_subtree_check.

                  @dureal99d ISO’s can be created to run in only “BIOS” mode. This means, while UEFI is backwards compatible from a support perspective, the ISO’s have no idea how to use UEFI. BIOS expects certain things to run. You must remember BIOS booting has been around, essentially, since the beginning of personal computers. UEFI is relatively new so simply saying “UEFI is supposed to be backwards compatible” doesn’t mean much. EFI has been around for quite some time, but only recently has it been in “major” use.

                      @dureal99d The post I’m linking here.

                      You are missing the initrd= statement. You will likely need to add: initrd=initrd.lz (or the respective initrd filename) to each of your menu entries.

                        @dureal99d Try to use fetch=http://${fog-ip}/bootimgs/16.04.1_64/casper/squashfs instead of root=

                              your edit to my config file works flawlessly!!!

                              this has been one heck of a trip but it was worth it in the end.

                                @dureal99d for the Linux distros the argument initrd=initrd.lz was missing. that’s crazy!!!

                                  @dureal99d Well this is the difference of legacy vs. uefi too. UEFI doesn’t know much about the ram space, so there is no definition of where to find the initrd filesystem. With legacy, it typically loaded the initrd into the same point, so legacy systems wouldn’t have an issue. It doesn’t hurt legacy to have the initrd= options either, so this method should work the same for both legacy and uefi.

                                    @dureal99d I run ddwrt sp2 v24 and being as it has successfully dual booted bios and uefi is it safe to say that it has the correct version of dnsmasq to handle the job?

                                      @Tom-Elliott Yes i have tested the booting of the Linux isos in both bios and uefi and they work the same.

                                        @dureal99d I don’t think version mattered here. DD-WRT uses DNSMASQ as the DHCP server for the router. The only “version” difference problems of UEFI/Legacy handouts I’m aware of was with ProxyDNS.
