Hi guys, I tried to set up chain loading in the PXELinux menu, but it was not successful. I have done some researches online but I’m not able to figure it out. Could you guys please give me a hand? Thanks a lot!
Here’s what I have done.

1. added the pxelinux menu entry for chain loading to ipxe

LABEL FOG-IT-120TEST
#MENU PASSWD fjasjfskajgdfjgjdfgjdfjgsdfgafgjfd.
kernel fog/kernel/ipxe.krn
append dhcp && chain [url]http://10.2.6.40/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}[/url]
MENU LABEL FOG 1.2.0 iPXE
TEXT HELP
FOG 1.2.0 iPXE chainload TEST.
ENDTEXT
\n

2. copied “ipxe.krn” from FOG 1.2.0 server to FOG 0.32 server /tftpboot/fog/kernel/ipxe.krn
3. copied “default.ipxe” from FOG 1.2.0 server to FOG 0.32 server /tftpboot/default.ipxe
   Here’s the config in “default.ipxe”

#!ipxe
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param product ${product}
param manufacturer ${product}
param ipxever ${version}
param filename ${filename}
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
:bootme
chain [url]http://10.2.6.40/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params[/url]

4. I’ve got the error saying “Could not boot: Input/output error ([url]http://ipxe.org/1d0c6139[/url])”. Please see attached image.

I looked it up on ipxe.org, but there’s not really a solution. Hope you guys can give me some help. Thanks a lot!!

Hello all, I wonder if anyone knows how to PXE boot to iPXE (FOG 1.2.0) menu from PXELinux (FOG 0.32) menu.
I have modified the PXELinux menu to do a lot of different stuff, and I don’t have time to move all of them over to the new FOG server yet. Has anyone managed to do this? Thanks!

Good to know…That means “video=uvsafb:mode_option=1024x768-16” would not make any difference, right?

Try adding kernel argument “nomodeset video=uvsafb:mode_option=1024x768-16”, without quotes

hey Darren, take a look at this blog…hope it helps.

I followed this guide when i first started syspreping. It helped me a lot.

KMS does not use SID, but it uses CMID instead. Thus, you don’t have to sysprep the image if you want to KMS, you can just simply rearm the OS before uploading the image.
