        To clarify,

        You’re still using 1.2.0
        your ISO is in /var/www/iso

        WHAT OS ???

        Hirens version 15

        Did you have to extract any files? If so, what files?

        And your working code:

        menu
        item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
        item BOOTCD Hirens 15.2 BOOTCD
        item mint Linux Mint v2 x64
        item shell ipxe shell
        choose target && goto ${target}

        :BOOTCD
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/hirensboot.iso ||
        chain memdisk iso raw ||
        boot ||
        goto MENU

        :mint
        kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu/casper/vmlinuz
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu/casper/initrd.lz
        imgargs vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=la mirror/country=US
        boot || goto failed
        goto start

        :shell
        shell ||
        goto MENU

        autoboot[/CODE]

          Now i have to ask, is this the hirens boot cd from their site or the revised hirens boot cd thats actually dvd sized at 3 gig? im trying to get the dvd iso to work… too many nice utilities in there.

            Hi everyone,
            I have tried to create an advanced menu for ubuntu 15
            Added the following to advanced menu

            :ubuntu15.04_64
            initrd http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/iso/ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso
            chain memdisk iso raw ||
            goto MENU
            

            It loads the iso from the network, ubuntu splash comes up and starts loading then I get this error message

            (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
            

            The iso is located in

            root@fog:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe# ls -lh iso/
            total 1.4G
            -rw-r--r-- 1 fog www-data 336M Jun 24 08:27 pmagic_2013_08_01.iso
            -rw-r--r-- 1 fog www-data 1.1G Jun 24 08:12 ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso
            

            I’m looking at the menu below and it’s got extra options, does that mean I need to extract the iso to the ubuntu folder (in the example) or do I need to mount it to that folder on the fog server?
            Thank you for your help and sorry for replying to an old thread but it’s relevant to my issue

              @Pikmin I think mounting it somewhere in the web directory of your FOG server would be best. There is some sort of ‘mount loop’ command just for this…

              It’s something like this; don’t quote me on it… Might be best to do some Googling on it.
              [CODE]mount -o loop ImageName.img /path/to/mount/to[/CODE]

              You would then find where the Kernel and the inits are within that mount, and then specify those files in the menu, I THINK. Again, don’t quote me.

                Thanks Wayne,
                I had to change the vmlinuz to vmlinuz.efi
                It loads it and initrd.lz and gets to this part

                Begin: Trying netboot from 10.0.0.1:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso/ubuntu ... Begin: Trying nfsmount
                -o nolock -o ro 10.0.0.1:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso/ubuntu /cdrom ... mount call failed - server
                replied: Permission denied
                ...
                

                I thought it was maybe because when the iso gets mounted root is the owner and group owner, tried to mount as fog (1001) no luck

                mount -t iso9660 ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso ubuntu -o loop,uid=1001,gid=1001 ro
                

                Just to clarify I am mounting the iso to /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso/ubuntu, ubuntu15 iso is in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso folder

                  @Pikmin Permission denied… is probably permissions related or firewall related maybe.

                  I’d give the ISO 777 perms, then if it’s possible (idk because they are read only??) give the files that you mount 777 perms. This would only be temporary and for troubleshooting, of course. You can tighten the screws down later.

                  Something like this:
                  [CODE]chmod -R 777 /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso
                  chown -R apache:apache /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso[/CODE]

                  Also, because you’re mounting to the same directory that the ISO is in, it’s really confusing and I don’t know if that’s the problem or not… just confusing… It’s up to you but if it were me, I’d separate the two… The ISO itself doesn’t need to be in the web directory, just the mount point needs to be there.

                    Oh… where did you do the mount part? in the menu? I don’t think that’s where it goes normally… maybe it’s possible, but probably not…

                    You’d mount it permanently on your FOG server. Then, the host would access those files via Apache exactly the same way it would access the FOG kernel and init and such.

                      I have mounted the iso from the server through a terminal, can’t give it 777 as it’s read only

                      root@fog:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso# mount -t iso9660 ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso ubuntu -o loop,uid=33,gid=33
                      mount: warning: ubuntu seems to be mounted read-only.
                      root@fog:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso# ls -l
                      total 1467942
                      dr-xr-xr-x 1 www-data www-data       2048 Apr 22 22:30 ubuntu
                      -rw-r--r-- 1 fog      www-data 1150844928 Jun 24 08:12 ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso
                      

                      The above didn’t work, as in didn’t get as far, the owner needs to be fog.
                      I think the part I need to work out how to change is the nfs mount that points to /cdrom in the error message i posted below

                        This is what it looks like after vmlinuz.efi and initrd.lz get loaded

                          @Pikmin ISO9660 is read-only, you can mount it only on RO.

                            I understand that, just don’t get what I’m doing wrong when following the steps in this thread
                            EDIT:
                            Okay all good now, no mention of having to export the path to the mount to NFS. I am new to this, didn’t know

                              Just got this working for me. In case anybody wants the steps:

                              First in your /etc/exports add this line:
                              /var/www/fog/iso/15.04_64 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)

                              Then restart your nfs server. If you’re running Ubuntu it’s sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart

                              Next, extract the Ubuntu iso to a direcotry named 15.04_64 in your /var/www/fog/iso directory.

                              In your Advanced menu use this:
                              :MENU
                              menu
                              item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                              item ubuntu15.04_64 Boot Ubuntu 15.04
                              item return return to previous menu
                              :ubuntu15.04_64
                              set path /fog/iso/15.04_64
                              set nfs_path /var/www/fog/ISO/15.04_64
                              kernel http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/vmlinuz.efi || read void
                              initrd http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/initrd.lz || read void
                              imgargs vmlinuz.efi root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${nfs_path} ip=dhcp splash quiet – || read void
                              boot || read void
                              goto start

                              Hopefully it works for you too. You don’t have to set the variables. I just did it that way in case I ever have to change where the iso directory lives.

                                Thanks aaoyagi, when I realised nfs mount was needed it was easy.
                                Do you happen to have a working menu for parted magic? I’ve tried both ways with the iso mounted and exported and just path to the iso
                                Throws an error both times.

                                UPDATE: looked over it one more time and tried what Tom suggested- removed raw and iso
                                chain memdisk ||

                                Working fine, thank you kindly

                                  @aaoyagi Thank you so much you don’t know how long ive been trying to figure this out. If I could id shake your hand, but for now the best I can do is IS be amazed at how awesome what you figured out is. Again thank you.

                                    In your Advanced menu use this:
                                    :MENU
                                    menu
                                    item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                                    item ubuntu15.04_64 Boot Ubuntu 15.04
                                    item return return to previous menu
                                    :ubuntu15.04_64
                                    set path /fog/iso/15.04_64
                                    set nfs_path /var/www/fog/ISO/15.04_64
                                    kernel http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/vmlinuz.efi || read void
                                    initrd http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/initrd.lz || read void
                                    imgargs vmlinuz.efi root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${nfs_path} ip=dhcp splash quiet – || read void
                                    boot || read void
                                    goto start

                                    Hopefully it works for you too. You don’t have to set the variables. I just did it that way in case I ever have to change where the iso directory lives.

                                        @aaoyagi Just made major changes to this WiKi article and one other in order to ingegrate this and others into one single article.

                                        https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu

                                        Please, any future instructions or tutorials about adding an ISO via FOG should be added to the above WiKi article. Thanks for giving an awesome little tutorial @aaoyagi

                                          A note that clonezilla works using the method.

                                            I know this is an old thread, I’ve read it entirely, and I’ve read the wiki too (this page)but I can’t find the files mentioned here. In my installation I don’t have the folder: /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ in where should be the “default” file, which I assume is where the default menu is. I need help finding the files that i have to edit to be able to include other isos to the boot menu.

                                            Sorry for the bad english.
                                            Thank you.
