This is my entire config file. whats funny is the only 2 that will boot is Centos and fedora which are the 2 that gave me the most trouble before.

dureal99d · Oct 4, 2016, 9:06 AM

@Quazz that is my entire config file

Quazz · Oct 4, 2016, 9:09 AM

@dureal99d I think the main problem is most likely that the nfs location those boot options want to use isn’t being exported by your FOG server.

Check /etc/exports to confirm

dureal99d · Oct 4, 2016, 3:14 AM

@Quazz the files are being exported via nfs server of Ubuntu

/images *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=0)
/images/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=1)
/images2 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=2)
/images2/dev *(rw,async,no_wdelay,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure,fsid=3)
/var/www/html/bootimgs *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/opt/bootimgs *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)```

Quazz · Oct 4, 2016, 9:26 AM

@dureal99d They need to have fsid assigned at the very least to work properly as far as I know.

dureal99d · Oct 4, 2016, 9:32 AM

@Quazz said in UEFI won boot tools via fog menu.:

fsid

fsid? i see add fsid=4 fsid=5 to the exports

i see add

@Quazz I shall add fsid= to the export and shall report back

Quazz · Oct 4, 2016, 9:42 AM

@dureal99d You’ll also need to run

exportfs -a

After that.

Use

showmount -e 127.0.0.1

to confirm

Quazz · Oct 4, 2016, 9:47 AM

@dureal99d You’ll need to add subtree_check as well, otherwise any folders underneath it won’t be accessible.

Does this look right?

Quazz · Oct 4, 2016, 9:52 AM

@dureal99d It’s trying to export /opt/bootimgs twice.

Is it a symbolic link or something?

Either way, it should probably work now, might need to restart NFS service, though.

dureal99d · Oct 4, 2016, 9:56 AM

@Quazz

Quazz · Oct 4, 2016, 10:00 AM

@dureal99d Looking at my own boot items, I do not appear to have a trailing slash. Try removing that from your boot options.

If it still has issues after that, see if you can manually mount that NFS location.

You can base yourself on https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_NFS replace paths where necessary.

dureal99d · Oct 4, 2016, 10:02 AM

@Quazz Keep in mind in bios boot mode these options work just fine, the issue exist in uefi mode.

also, what is a trailing slash?

Quazz · Oct 4, 2016, 10:05 AM

@dureal99d It’s a forward slash / at the end of the url.

I don’t know why it would work in BIOS mode, honestly. Or perhaps why not in UEFI. Secure Boot is off on the target device, right?

dureal99d · Oct 4, 2016, 10:07 AM

@Quazz said in UEFI won boot tools via fog menu.:

know why it would work in BIOS mode

yes I am also at a loss, that is also what I find strange, I see no reason I can upload and download an image but not boot these isos in uefi mode. its crazy to me. but ive read uefi is pretty pick about stuff so who knows?

Tom Elliott · Oct 4, 2016, 10:56 AM

@dureal99d You should use subtree_check, not no_subtree_check.

Tom Elliott · Oct 4, 2016, 10:58 AM

@dureal99d ISO’s can be created to run in only “BIOS” mode. This means, while UEFI is backwards compatible from a support perspective, the ISO’s have no idea how to use UEFI. BIOS expects certain things to run. You must remember BIOS booting has been around, essentially, since the beginning of personal computers. UEFI is relatively new so simply saying “UEFI is supposed to be backwards compatible” doesn’t mean much. EFI has been around for quite some time, but only recently has it been in “major” use.

dureal99d · Oct 4, 2016, 11:00 AM

@Tom-Elliott Ok I’m going to try that now

also i tried this config and its getting farther than before by loads
