I can't boot up Parted-Magic 2023.08.22
-
Good afternoon, decided to update parted magic image, previously it worked fine with parameters:
kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/bzImage initrd=initrd.img initrd=fu.img initrd=m.img initrd=files.cgz edd=on vga=normal
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/initrd.img
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/fu.img
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/m.img
initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/files.cgz
bootFollowed the same instructions to get files.cgz https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu#PartedMagic
Copied all the necessary files. But I get an error when booting.
I hope for your help.

@Dietrich07 The link you posted is from an old install so there may be changes to the application in the last 7 years.
Looking at your ipxe menu parameters and comparing it against the wiki I see some differences.
kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/bzImage64 initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/initrd.img initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/files.cgz initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/fu.img initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/m64.img imgargs bzImage64 boot=live ip=dhcp edd=on noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet - || read void boot
FWIW you are missing the imgargs and the kernel name is different. You DO need the imagargs line but I would also change the imgargs line to include the initrd file (what the kernel appears to be complaining about)
Lets see how well this parameter block works.
kernel http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/bzImage initrd http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/initrd.img imgfetch http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/fu.img imgfetch http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/m.img imgfetch http://${fog-ip}/pmagic/pmagic/files.cgz imgargs bzImage64 initrd=initrd.img boot=live ip=dhcp edd=on noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet boot
NOTE: imgfetch and initrd perform the same function, using it as I’ve done above makes the intent a bit easier to understand. The function is exactly the same though.

@george1421
Thanks for the quick reply, found the cause. I tested running on a vmware virtual computer. There is a constant error there. On the physical computer there are no problems, booting goes as it should. -

@Dietrich07 Hey, would you mind sharing the full parameters you used, or did you stick with the ones in your original post?
I’m on Parted-Magic 2023.05.21 but am facing an issue, I can get it to boot through FOG, but them I am hit with “Mounting the fu.sqfs failed.”. Did you run in to something like this?
