    • Having trouble booting live image

      I’m using Fog 1.2.0 with IPXE

      The iso I’m trying to load is a customized lubuntu image which boots and works just fine as a live image on some local host computer as well as in a virtual box. I have mounted the .iso file in the [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty[/url] directory using the command:
      [INDENT=1]mount -o loop lublive1.iso trusty/[/INDENT]

      Configuration 1:

      :lublive1
      initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/lublive1.iso[/url]
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      The iso image appears to download, the lubuntu splash screen appears with the loading bar, then it shows the following:

      [INDENT=1]command line: iso raw[/INDENT]
      [INDENT=1]MEMDISK: Image seems to have fractional end cylinder[/INDENT]
      [INDENT=1]MEMDISK: Image appears to be truncated[/INDENT]

      [INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
      INDENT=1 Unable to find a medium containing a live file system[/INDENT]
      [INDENT=1] [/INDENT]
      Configuration 2:

      :lublive2
      kernel [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty/casper/vmlinuz[/url] boot=casper netboot=nfs
      nfsroot=[url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty[/url]
      initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty/casper/initrd.lz[/url]
      boot || goto MENU
      autoboot

      The pxe boot fails immediately and boots from the harddrive

      Configuration 3:

      :lublive3
      imgfetch [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/lublive1.iso[/url]
      boot memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      Once again the iso image loads, the splash screen appears, but the result/error is the same as Configuration 1.

      Configuration 4:

      :lublive4
      kernel [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty/casper/vmlinuz[/url]
      initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty/casper/initrd.lz[/url]
      imgargs vmlinuz boot=live config console=ttyS0 fetch=[url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/lublive/trusty/casper/filesystem.squashfs[/url]
      boot

      it appears to load vmlinuz and initrd but then the screen becomes blank and is unresponsive, I let it sit for a while in case it was loading the image and just taking a while but nothing happened.

      I also tried booting the unaltered standard lubuntu image and although it didn’t show the initial Memdisk errors as before, it still loaded a BusyBox shell and said “Unable ot find a medium containing a live file system”

      Any help or insight would be much appreciated.

    • RE: How can I boot a live image with iPXE?

      I was able to boot using this configuration:

      kernel [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/debian/7.6.0/live/vmlinuz1[/url]
      initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/debian/7.6.0/live/initrd1.img[/url]
      imgargs vmlinuz1 boot=live config console=ttyS0 username=live fetch=[url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/debian/7.6.0/live/filesystem.squashfs[/url]
      boot

      Debian boots, gives a login prompt, and the firmware error is also a debian error, I think I have some configuration incorrect but I don’t know what it is.

    • RE: How can I boot a live image with iPXE?

      I got debian to boot using these options in the menu:

      :debianlive2
      kernel [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/debian/7.6.0/live/vmlinuz1[/url]
      initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/debian/7.6.0/live/initrd1.img[/url]
      imgargs vmlinuz1 root=/dev/nfs boot=live netboot=nfs fetch=[url]http://${fog-ip}/fog/debian/7.6.0/live/filesystem.squashfs[/url]
      boot

      but it is now asking for some uname/password which i dont have and giving some strange firmware error once in a while…

      Thanks for your reply.
      The iso loads, but when trying to boot the live image, I get the error:

      “Unable to find a medium containing a live file system”

    • How can I boot a live image with iPXE?

      I’m running Fog 1.2.0 with iPXE

      I’d like to boot a live version of Debian from the Advanced menu, is this possible?

      I’ve prepared Debian 7.6.0 for live booting, and I have the image on the server

      Thanks
