@Wayne-Workman I have checked the md5 checksum of the iso file and it matches the one on the website. Do you still think I need to re download?

RE: Boot from Ubuntu 16.04 live iso failed
@Sebastian-Roth One again spot on Sebastian
I can now boot from the iso but this is not the end of it yet! When it goes through the boot process I get this error :
This happens if I choose the Linux rescue environment . If I choose mini windows xp, everything works fine!
Any suggestion for this one ?
I also have a general question: How do I know how to treat a iso file to be able to boot from it on FOG? There is a wiki page for some (which I think is not updated in a while).
Is there any instructions to follow or it changes every now and then? -
RE: Boot from Ubuntu 16.04 live iso failed
@Sebastian-Roth good point. I just tested it. I can access the iso file from the FOG server machine : 127.0.0.1/iso/hiren/hirens.iso
but from other machines if I do : 192.168.18.28/iso/hiren/hirens.iso I get to the FOG
server management page. Seems like no matter what I type after the ip address it forwards me to the FOG login page.
I have checked the permissions for the iso folder and changed it to “-R 777” (I’m not sure if this is a good practice!) but still the same. -
RE: Boot from Ubuntu 16.04 live iso failed
@george1421 Finally got it working for the Ubuntu! using the instruction you provided!
Regarding Hiren I still have problem. I have changed permissions as @Tom-Elliott suggested but for the /var/www/html/iso/hiren/ (hirens.iso is in this folder)
Now it gets stuck with this message:Loading boot sector... booting ...
Btw for the reference and in case someone needs it later I will post what I did here in another post.

@Tom-Elliott Thanks Tom. Did that but nothing changed!

RE: Boot from Ubuntu 16.04 live iso failed
Thanks george for the quick response.
So I have done what you mentioned:- I did move the hiren iso file to /var/www/html/iso/ and changed entry in the MENU to this:
:hiren initrd http://${fog-ip}/iso/hirens.iso chain memdisk iso raw || goto MENU
Now when I choose hiren I get this message:
MEMDISK: bootstrap too large to load.It was booting before at least to windows not it does not. DO I need to change something ins the “chain memdisk iso raw ||” line?
- For the Ubutu entry:
A. I changed the protocol to tftp:
:ubuntu kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/tftpboot/ubuntu16/vmlinuz.efi initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/tftpboot/ubuntu16/initrd.lz imgargs root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${fog-ip}:/images/mounts/ubuntu16 locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us mirror/country=US boot || goto failed goto start
The result was that I get this error message:
vmlinuz.efi is in /tftpboot/ubuntu16/
B. I tried to use the http instead so I created: /var/www/html/os/ubuntu16 and extracted the ubuntu iso here.(after reading many posts I’m still not sure that I must use the iso file or extract it into this folder!) so here is the folder content:
Andhere is the MENU entry for it ::ubuntu kernel http://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu16/vmlinuz.efi initrd http://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu16/initrd.lz imgargs root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${fog-ip}:/images/mounts/ubuntu16 locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us mirror/country=US boot || goto failed goto start
I still get the blank page when I choose to boot from the ubuntu entry.
What about the imgargs line? do I need to change the nfsroot path in this line? and what should it be in this case?

Description
I want to boot from a Ubuntu 16.04 live iso but I have failed so far.
I have followed the instructions here: link text and here : link text but still I can not get Ubuntu to boot.When I choose Ubuntu in the advanced menu: I get ok for loading “vmlinuz” and “initrd” then I get a blank screen with cursor blinking and nothing happens afterwards.
Here is the content of my advanced menu:
:MENU menu item --gap -- ---------------- iPXE boot menu ---------------- item ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04 x64 item hiren Hiren Boot CD item shell ipxe shell item return return to previous menu choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target} :ubuntu kernel http://${fog-ip}/tftpboot/ubuntu16/vmlinuz.efi initrd http://${fog-ip}/tftpboot/ubuntu16/initrd.lz imgargs root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${fog-ip}:/images/mounts/ubuntu16 locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us mirror/country=USip}:/images/mounts/ubuntu16 boot || goto failed goto start :hiren initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/hiren/hir.iso chain memdisk iso raw || goto MENU :shell initrd http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/ubnt.iso chain memdisk iso || goto MENU :return chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} || prompt goto MENU autoboot
The menu item that I’m working on is “ubuntu” I have been trying other methods at the same time so there are other menu items as well.
In the ubuntu Menu item I tried the instructions from Fitzzz (Booting Ubuntu 16.04 ISO from FOG) but as APPEND command was not recognized I had to do changes in commands a bit.So far I have only managed to boot Hiren and only in mini windows mode. the linux environment does not boot in Hiren.
I’m new to this and most probably naive but I assume it should not be super hard to have couple of live images ready to boot from FOG using PXE.
I have read the wiki and many posts in 24 hours but seems to be nothing is organized and different instructions say different things.
Thanks for your input in advance -
RE: How to add live cd iso to Fog 1.2 on Ubuntu 12.04
@Sebastian-Roth Thanks Sebastian. You are right! I was not sure if I should post here or create a new topic. I felt bad just to create another post while this was related to the same (kindda) issue.
I have followed the instructions in the link but still have problems. I will create a new topic and post dubug info there -
RE: How to add live cd iso to Fog 1.2 on Ubuntu 12.04
- list item
FOG version : 1.4.4
OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2 X64
I want to run a ubuntu 16.04 live iso using pxe on my client. I have read all the guides in this topic.
I only managed to make the Hiren boot to work(only the mini windows works and not the linux enviroment). I have followed instruction from Biet Jeremie to fill in the advanced setting box for Ubuntu iso file. When I choose Ubuntu from the advance menu it loads the Ubuntu menu and when I choose:
“try ubuntu without installation” it says it can not find the medium congaing the live file system.
I have two problem:- I don’t know if the instruction provided has changed from the date this was discussed?
- I’m not sure if I just need to copy the iso file from Ubuntu or I need to extract it in some folder?
Has anyone got this to work?
