OK - so Partedmagic is now $11 for the latest version - which also comes ready to PXE - no scripts etc required to get ready
Add files to TFTP share - add menu item - done.

menu item =

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 || read void

Worked first time

Thanks - i have discovered there is an issue between the keyboard and chair at my workstation - i have 2 imaging servers - and i obviously fired up the wrong one. all is now well . disregard !

make sure clients have boot rom enabled in the BIOS - otherwise they won’t boot at all.

in my environment :-
066 points to fog /tftp server
067 bootfile = undionly.kpxe

Fog 1.5.5
All normal functions fine (imaging etc)
added DBAN with no problem

following - https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu
for the hirens entry

it starts to talk about Ubuntu
and adding lines to the advanced menu (which im presuming i just add to the Parameters section in the GUI add ipxe menu section (just like i did DBAN only more complicated commands)

however - following the guide in the wiki the commands to add contain the following :-

“kernel http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/vmlinuz.efi || read void
initrd http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/initrd.lz || read void”

I do not have the /casper folder in the folders expanded from the iso.

I have searched in the forums and only serve to further confuse myself

I followed another guide found in the forums (purported to work) which boots the ISO directly but fails for me with BOOTSTRAP too large

Could someone please help clarify the process to add Hirens (including pmagic) to my ipxe menu ?

Thanks in advance

HI,
Fired up my old FOG vm - last used over a year ago - updates as per usual to the latest version (GIT) - looked at my old data/images etc and it seems to have lost the images i previously created ! - also all the workstations i registered and imaged with fog the last time have disappeared
either :-
a) i am going senile and moved/deleted the images
b) something has happened between the older version and the new upgrade ?

I checked the VM and looked at the hdd directly - still no images.

Is there anyway to check the previous configuration to verify where i may have put images (i can’t remember using anything but the default location)

Any suggestions to resolve this greatly appreciated…

Description

My Debian is reporting updates available to install - what is the recommended practice on a Fog Server ?

nevermind all - i rebuilt the server with only minimal packages and re-ran the svn install of Fog and it worked fine - go figure.

@Wayne-Workman
thanks wayne - i did mysql was completely removed and reinstalled and the ./install script re run - same result

Thanks Tom - i made sure mysql was installed - i have installed webmin so i have a better control over the server and i can access mysql using that - not sure what to try now ?

Thanks for your response - you guys rock !

Hopefully the picture will answer yr questions - no AV installed
