Oh ok so where do i need to put

ip=dhcp

this is the current iPXE code
this is what i tried on lubuntu 64 bit

kernel tftp://10.0.0.98/OS/lubuntuX86/casper/vmlinuz
initrd tftp://10.0.0.98/OS/lubuntuX86/casper/initrd
imgargs vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=casper ip=dhcp netboot=nfs nfsroot=10.0.0.98:/images/os/lubuntu/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us quiet splash
boot || goto MENU

I forgot to comment on the picture, and I didn’t want to double post lol
I tried couple of location but it didn’t seems to work anywhere

@sebastian-roth

om so first of all I didn’t looked that the lubuntu was 64bit (which I don’t use actively so it’s in the backburner for now) and the 32 BIT one works with the original code so my bad and thank you so much for your help.

I cant find focal netboot so I think for now i take my win for now.

P.S is there a way to boot windows 7/10 installation from FOG?

@sebastian-roth
umm, I don’t follow.
10.0.0.98 is a manual ip address that is the ip of the server. every other ip is within 10.0.0.X
IPV4:10.0.0.X
Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
Gateway:10.0.0.138
(it’s the default gateway and subnet mask in israel)

here’s my windows machine ip via ipconfig showing the same configuration

(here’s a video showing I get response from my server and trying to live boot lubuntu 64X)

@george1421 said in I cant boot iso's like lubuntu 18.04 32 bit or kubuntu 20.04 64 bit from the fog menu:

@aloniada Do you actually see the kernel boot? Ubuntu 20.x brought some new pains into pxe booting a live OS. I’m suspecting the nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/os/lubuntu/ is causing some issues.
If you look at a debian image args
imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd boot=live components fetch=http://${fog-ip}/os/debian/10.7L/filesystem.squashfs
They are actually fetching the filesystem using http.
I also noticed that you mix 32 bit and 64 bit. Are you implying that both will not boot via pxe?

yes i can see the kernal booting and in the lubuntu 64Bit 20.04 i can see the logo for about a second or two until I get kicked out to the busybox screen and nothing else from here

this is a VM from the server itself so no way it’s network issue

I tried multiple distro’s ranging from lubuntu, kubuntu and windows PE (I want to setup both 64 and 32 bit to have all of ubuntu distro i mentioned (and sergei strelec iso around my workspace without having to get a thumb stick for each computer i work on.

(I volunteer at a free computer repair shop so I need all the extra help I can get so I can fix it quickly and move to the next one)

First of all let me point that I know about link text and tried a lot of them including windows PE and gparted but everytime i get errors like BOOT Failed

this is what i tried on lubuntu 64 bit
kernel tftp://10.0.0.98/OS/lubuntu/casper/vmlinuz
initrd tftp://10.0.0.98/OS/lubuntu/casper/initrd
imgargs vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/os/lubuntu/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us quiet splash
boot || goto MENU
but i keep getting nfs over tcp not available

what I am doing wrong?
