I am getting no such file or directory exist , how do i fix this?

“bash: 192.168.1.109: No such file or directory”

@george1421 said in How to pxe boot cent os 7:

/var/www/fog/service/ipxe *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)

that one liner is pretty nice

@george1421 said in How to pxe boot cent os 7:

that’s quite an nfs export

Ill try your suggestion and let you know how it goes

@Sebastian-Roth said in How to pxe boot cent os 7:

@dureal99d As George already mentioned you need to have your files exported via NFS to make them accessible for the booting kernel. Please post your /etc/exports file here. Configure /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/ubbuntu6_64/ to be exported if it’s not yet.

Here is my exports file, I have since tried to boot fedora with the same result and being as it is a cent os derivative, I figured id get the same result as that’s exactly what I got.

here is my exports config.
/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)
/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/16.04.1_64 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)
/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/16.04.1_32 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)

/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/15.10_32 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)

/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/fedora *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)

this is the code ive used.

kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/fedora/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/fedora/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
imgargs vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=nfs netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/fedora/
boot || goto failed
goto start

Understand this is beyond the scope of what the FOG server supports. That doesn’t mean that you can’t do this with FOG, its just not supported by the FOG project.

You might want to explain exactly what you want to do here? Do you want to pxe boot a linux live environment with iPXE or do you wan to pxe boot a linux installer via iPXE? The answer may provide a better direction.

IMO it would be easier to use an already exported NFS filesystem like /images Just create a subdirectory below /images (like /images/centos) then update your iPXE configuration to use that share instead of an http nfs root.

Edit - Typo fixed.

I know you said this is not supported by you guys but I have received support at this forum before for this type of issue and this is how I was able to boot Ubuntu based Linux distros and as such I post this pic in hopes you will reconsider.

@george1421 said in How to pxe boot cent os 7:

I would like to boot the live system and then from there be able to install the os on a physical drive as I can with Ubuntu, Linux mint and kubuntu.

thought as you have already stated. I would not mind being able to use the already exported nfs. either way works.

the purpose of this is to be able to create the ultimate complex advance boot benu and have all these Linux distros working right out the gate.

this will help me complete this project.

HOw would I make the nfs mountable?

I don’t fully understand the apache talk, nor how its relevant in this case. so now I must read up on it. I am new to programming and such, so I only understand little basics. I was looking for help in solving the riddle. So when you say http path instead of nfs path how would I fix this? I looked at the referenced link but I am not comprehending what they are talking about.

I will tell you I have every other version of Linux that I like and use booting just fine. utilizing the code.

:Ubuntu_64
kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu6_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/ubuntu6_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
imgargs vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=casper 6=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/ubbuntu6_64/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=la mirror/country=US
boot || goto failed
goto start

now I admit I used this from another post in this forum and worked but I don’t fully understand the code and perhaps I needed to to be able to customize for other distros

Ive been trying for 2 days to make a working boot code for centos 7 and I cannot get it to work.

I run fog rc3 on Ubuntu 16.04.1

ive received this code from Here and needless to say no go.

:Centos
kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/Centos/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/Centos/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
imgargs vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs boot=isolinux netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/Centos/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=la mirror/country=US
boot || goto failed
goto start

:Centos
set path /fog/service/ipxe/Centos
set nfs_path /images/service/ipxe/Centos
kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/Centos/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz ks=http://${fog-ip}/fog/kickstarts/centos6.cfg ramdisk_size=100000 ksdevice=eth0 root=/dev/rd/0 ip=dhcp splash quiet – || read void
initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/Centos/images/pxeboot/initrd.img || read void
goto start

the first one loads but then errors out. it states the dev/nfs is not right, the 2nd code just stops in the begin without going anywhere.
any ideas??

@george1421 said in Customizing the advance boot screen?:

But, it is a great example of how to implement an ipxe advanced menu.

Will do im currently customizing it to include every free utility and version of windows & Linux i can find or think of. I have also included a couple more sub menus.

When done i will post the completed working code in hopes it can help someone else.

@george1421 I ended up finding what I was looking for here

I would like to know how I would customize or organize the advanced boot screen of fog by Linux dist. and or tool to be used rather than having them show up in a long list.

If someone could maybe post some directions or give a brief tutorial it would be most appreciated…

@Tom-Elliott / @Wayne-Workman OK everything is working fine now. thank you fog team for the help. according to @Tom-Elliott it was because the tftp folder was misdirected. I’m not really sure how that occurred but he fixed it. also @Wayne-Workman the revert to kernel 4.7.0 fixed the messages issue. but being as I’m informed its not really an error ill just later revert to kernel 4.7.1 and downgrade the messaging

@Tom-Elliott said in Unknown error.:

the FOG Configuration Page

It all matches.

@Wayne-Workman Imaging is working fine. I was just wondering if it was a problem. i have not tried to upload an image yet but i can deploy with no issue. and yes i would like help getting this other kernel cause it wont let me

IF all else fails is it possible to back up the images and do a clean install and reregister the images with the fog server?

@Wayne-Workman I checked the suggested locations for changes and no go. is it possible that anything else could be the issue.

@Wayne-Workman said in Unknown error.:

Use FOG’s integrated Kernel updater to do this:

The kernel wont update.

I am running Ubuntu 16.04x64 on a dual quad dell. I upgraded to the latest trunk. 1.3.0-RC-8.

issue I have is when I image any machine I see this.

I am not sure is this is normal. BUt I doubt it is.
