      Failing to get DLCboot ISO to boot through this method.

      I have tried with the iso in 2 locations: /ISO/DLCD/DLC.iso and /var/www/service/ipxe/DLCD/DLC.iso

      I keep getting similar errors. First I tried with these paramaters

      :DLCD
      initrd http://$192.168.25.66/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/DLCD/DLC.iso
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      And I got this error:

      0_1516125636532_fogfail2.PNG

      Then I tried with

      :DLCD
      initrd http://$192.168.25.66/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/DLCD/DLC.iso
      boot || echo failed to boot
      prompt
      goto MENU```

      and got this error

      0_1516125643668_fogfail.PNG

      I then tried removing the $ from the beginning of the IP address but it just takes me back to the FOG menu automatically

      Any help or suggestions on why this is timing out or what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. Tearing my hair out with this one.

      Thanks

        I have finally figured it out. The ISO’s won’t boot in UEFI mode and must be set to legacy (BIOS)
        For now everything is working. Thanks for the help guys.

          @sebastian-roth I see. I suppose I’ll need to try dig in to this a lot more and figure out how to get this working. DLC boot is a diagnostics iso that I got from a colleague in work. It is similar to hirens with that it boots to a menu with mini windows environments, clonezilla, partitioning tools etc…

          I also have a custom Win10PE environment that I am going to try out and see if the results are any different. Should the ISO typically boot up as soon as it is done downloading the image to RAM?

            @dylz Not all ISOs boot like this. That’s just the way it is though I can’t actually explain the technical details of why it works with some ISOs and does not with others. It has to do with how the ISOs are build I am sure.

            That said, you can make pretty much any system/ISO boot by extracting the contents. But this is a very custom step. There is no general tutorial on how to do this as each ISO is a bit different. Maybe start by telling us what exactly DLC is and where you got this ISO from.

            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

              @george1421 Thanks for the advice that helped big time. But there’s still an issue. The ISO seems to download but nothing boots. I take it I need to replace “goto MENU” with a command that makes it boot the live cd now?

                second issue is your path to the ISO image.

                /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/DLCD/DLC.iso is the linux file path since you are trying to access that iso over http you need this path:

                http://192.168.25.66/fog/service/ipxe/DLCD/DLC.iso

                  get rid of the extra “$” before 192 in your fog menu
