      Hello,

      I’m new with FOG server and ask myself if I can boot a kind of own Rescue ISO file?

      So far as I understood FOG is for cloning images … but can I boot without changes also a live Rescue ISO?

      Thank you!

        @seppim This should answer your question: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10944/using-fog-to-pxe-boot-into-your-favorite-installer-images

        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)

            @sebastian-roth I see now, that the 5.5.2 ist very out dating.

            Current is 7.01

            Did you know which file and arguments I need for this?
            cp /mnt/loop/isolinux/{rescue64,initram.igz} /tftpboot/os/RescueCd/5.2.2/

            Both are in the 7.02 iso not available. Content of the isolinux:
            -r–r–r-- 1 root root 2048 Dez 20 13:10 boot.cat
            -rw-r–r-- 1 root root 432 Dez 20 13:10 isohdpfx.bin
            -rw-r–r-- 1 root root 38912 Dez 20 13:10 isolinux.bin
            -rw-r–r-- 1 root root 137 Dez 20 13:10 isolinux.cfg
            -rw-r–r-- 1 root root 119668 Dez 20 13:10 ldlinux.c32

            Thank you!

              @seppim said in Booting Rescue ISO:

              isolinux.cfg

              Your kernel parameters will most likely be found in this file.

              Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                  @seppim So the question would be if you were to boot this iso image which menu item would you pick? The answer you need IS in the config file, I just need to know the question.

                  Translating between syslinux and iPXE is pretty straight forward.

                  Using your example in syslinux format

                  LINUX boot/x86_64/vmlinuz
INITRD boot/intel_ucode.img,boot/amd_ucode.img,boot/x86_64/sysresccd.img
APPEND archisobasedir=sysresccd archisolabel=RESCUE701

                  that would translate to in iPXE

                  kernel boot/x86_64/vmlinuz
initrd boot/intel_ucode.img,boot/amd_ucode.img,boot/x86_64/sysresccd.img
imgargs vmlinuz archisobasedir=sysresccd archisolabel=RESCUE701

                  Then to normalize this with the others from my tutorial

                  kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/RescueCd/7.1/vmlinuz
initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/RescueCd/7.1/sysresccd.img
imgargs vmlinuz archisobasedir=sysresccd archisolabel=RESCUE701

                  Menu Item: os.SystemRescueCd.7.1
                  Description: SystemRescueCd 7.1
                  Parameters:
                  kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/RescueCd/7.1/vmlinuz
                  initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/RescueCd/7.1/sysresccd.img
                  imgargs vmlinuz archisobasedir=sysresccd archisolabel=RESCUE701
                  boot || goto MENU
                  Menu Show with: All Hosts

                      @george1421 Hello,

                      thank you … I´m booting via Virtualbox … but now it seems the Hiren´s Boot CD is a better choice for rescue systems:
                      https://www.hirensbootcd.org/

                      I download the latest ISO and mount it:

                      But not sure how do.

                      Maybe you have a instruction for the current Hiren´s Boot CD?

                          @george1421 Hello,

                          yes, but not working. I guess because I use the files from the Hiren`s Image?:
                          fccb0bdc-aad7-4c48-a8f9-890faa8ec390-image.png
                          He load the 1.3GB boot.wim … and after the error displayed.

                          I set this in the menu:
                          set tftp-path tftp://${fog-ip}
                          set pe-path ${tftp-path}/os/hirens
                          kernel ${tftp-path}/wimboot gui
                          imgfetch --name BCD ${pe-path}/BCD BCD
                          imgfetch --name boot.sdi ${pe-path}/boot.sdi boot.sdi
                          imgfetch --name boot.wim ${pe-path}/boot.wim boot.wim
                          boot || goto MENU

                          Files in folder:
                          4a6f041b-a928-4796-958e-83b5f1f7b128-image.png
