    • RE: Boot from Ubuntu 16.04 live iso failed

      @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?

      @Sebastian-Roth One again spot on Sebastian šŸ™‚
      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 :

      0_1500816145758_Screen Shot 2017-07-23 at 15.19.10.jpg
      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 ā€œ-R 777ā€ (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.

    • RE: Boot from Ubuntu 16.04 live iso failed

      Thanks george for the quick response.
      So I have done what you mentioned:

      1. 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 ā€œchain memdisk iso raw ||ā€ line?

      1. 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:
      0_1500638173458_tftp_problem.jpg

      vmlinuz.efi is in /tftpboot/ubuntu16/
      0_1500638409692_path.JPG

      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:
      0_1500639104254_ubuntu_ls.JPG
      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 ā€œvmlinuzā€ and ā€œinitrdā€ 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 ā€œubuntuā€ 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 šŸ™‚

    • 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 šŸ™‚

      • 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:
      ā€œtry ubuntu without installationā€ it says it can not find the medium congaing the live file system.
      I have two problem:

      1. I don’t know if the instruction provided has changed from the date this was discussed?
      2. 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?
