      [quote=“jbsclm, post: 26417, member: 3158”]Further to what Tom says, as you have noticed ipxe has a completely different menu structure to pxelinux which 0.32 used.
      If you set anything in the fog settings->pxe boot menu->advanced configuration menu a new item (advanced) will appear at the bottom of the first level menu.
      What you have to do is make sure that what you put in the advanced configuration menu is a valid ipxe menu.

      The example from the above post is below, note that the code inserts #!ipxe as the first line.

      Very informative, I know this will be of use to me in the near future thank you!

        i feel i should point out that yesterday Tom and I came up with an idea and added it to the advanced.php file.
        [CODE]print “set fog-ip “.$FOGCore->getSetting(‘FOG_WEB_HOST’).”\n”;
        print “set fog-webroot “.basename($FOGCore->getSetting(‘FOG_WEB_ROOT’)).”\n”;
        [/CODE]
        have been added so that you may use the ipxe variables “fog-ip” and “fog-webroot” for the creation of menus. here is a usable example that you should be able to paste into your advanced menu setting field without modification.
        [CODE]:MENU
        menu
        item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
        item ipxedemo ipxe online boot demo
        item shell ipxe shell
        item return return to previous menu
        choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

        :ipxedemo
        chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php ||
        goto MENU

        :shell
        shell ||
        goto MENU

        :return
        chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
        prompt
        goto MENU

        autoboot[/CODE]

          item return return to previous menu
          choose --default WIN7PE64BIT --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

          :WIN7PE64BIT
          initrd http://${fog-ip}/ISO/Win7PE_x64.ISO
          chain memdisk iso raw ||

            My only regret is that I can only give a post one ‘like’.

                Could someone do an entry for GParted? The [URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Include_GParted’]Include Gparted[/URL] wiki page is out of date now and I can’t get the ISO to boot properly using the methods above.
                I get as far as the GParted grub menu but once I try to boot to gparted, I get pages of
                [CODE]modprobe: module unknown not found in modules.dep[/CODE]
                followed by a blackscreen.

                iPXE menu entry below
                [CODE]:gparted
                initrd http://${fog-ip}/ISO/gparted-live-0.18.0-2-i486.iso
                chain memdisk iso raw ||
                goto MENU[/CODE]

                I found this which appears to be the same issue (a memdisk issue) but I am not sure how to implement the fix.

                  UPDATE; I got it working.
                  I copied vmlinuz, initrd.img and filesystem.squashfs from gparted into /var/www/fog/gparted/
                  and then updated my iPXE menu as follows:

                  kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/vmlinuz
                  initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/initrd.img
                  imgargs vmlinuz boot=live config union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 fetch=http://${fog-ip}/fog/gparted/filesystem.squashfs
                  boot[/CODE]

                  All tested and working now.

                              The client doesn’t understand paths on the fog server, only http paths.

                              :WIN7PE64BIT
                              initrd var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
                              chain memdisk iso raw ||
                              goto MENU

                              Needs to be

                              :WIN7PE64BIT
                              initrd [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
                              chain memdisk iso raw ||
                              goto MENU

                              OR

                              :WIN7PE64BIT
                              initrd [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
                              chain memdisk iso raw ||
                              goto MENU

                              Both should tell the client to look in the same place, although the first form is preferable.

                              If this fails check your apache log, it will tell you where i is looking for the iso.

                                  The log location is os dependent,

                                  Debian based Location (normally)
                                  /var/log/apache2
                                  Redhat based Location (normally)
                                  /var/log/httpd

                                  there are 2 logs, access.log and error.log.

                                  The messages you need will probably be in the access log, search for WindowsAIO.iso starting at the end, you should see a status 404, which says not found
                                  You can test by typing the following in to your browser

                                  [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://<fog_ip_address>/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
                                  replacing <fog_ip_address> with your fog server ip.

                                  eg
                                  [URL=‘http://$%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://192.168.3.11/fog[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

                                    my fog ip is 192.168.2.100

                                    is this correct? [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

                                    or [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]http://${192.168.2.100}/${fog-webroot}[/URL]/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso

                                      the first of those two is correct, assuming that you have that file located in /var/www/fog/Win7AIO/WindowsAIO.iso
                                      [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]${fog-ip}[/URL] is a variable set to your server’s IP, in your case “fog”
                                      [URL=‘http://%24%7Bfog-ip%7D/$%7Bfog-webroot%7D/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=$%7Bnet0/mac%7D’]${fog-webroot}[/URL] is a variable set to the root of your fog installation, in your case “192.168.2.100”

                                          if you paste your advanced menu code here, i will help you troubleshoot it
                                          please use the “code” format button when doing so.
