Thank you @george1421 for those suggestions . I removed all characters which could cause troubles and it didn’t solve this problem.

Here is the printed output of the iPXE menu . I have many entries because of tests.

Thanks @Tom-Elliott and @RobPomeroy .

I managed to boot an Ubuntu iso with preseed via tftp + ftp .

kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/20.04D/vmlinuz
initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/20.04D/initrd
imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd ip=dhcp root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=1800000 url=ftp://192.168.100.10/ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 ipv6.disable=1 locale=fr_FR.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=fr hostname=TESTX-L ro automatic-ubiquity url=ftp://192.168.100.10/preseed.cfg DEBCONF_DEBUG=5
boot || goto MENU

I changed the original vsftpd.conf of the fog server.

By the way i’ll try to boot and preseed with http.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi !

First of all thanks to all the fog team and contributors fog rocks and is so useful to many people.

I have a problem i wish someone give me a clue how to solve it.

Recently i noticed a problem in iPXE advanced menu.
I try to boot iso from fog and manipulate a lot the iPXe menu entries .

When i select an entry as Default Item i can no longer see the iPXE advanced menu correctly.

I have this screen :

Maybe i can debug with iPXE commands by i’m a noob concerning iPXE syntax.

Can someone help me with this ?

In advance thanks.

EDIT : I went to this page :
https://ipxe.org/err/461620

@robpomeroy Thaks for this howto. I tried it replacing http by ftp and it doesn’t work.

Have any clue how to do it via ftp ?

@george1421 Thank you very much for those suggestions. I’ll dig and share a way to do it.

My purpose is to do a Fully automated ubuntu 20.04.2 Desktop (UEFI) installation via FOG’s iPXE.

I got more than 100 Workstations and need to make it viable with an Ansible post-installation.

In the first time i wanted to do it with preseed but autoinstall seems to be the new shit so i’ll try it out.

To do Secure boot with Ubuntu 20.04 you’re right we need the signed kernels.

I need to RTM and do some tests.

Don’t you think chainloading signed grub via iPXE in FOG could be a more efficient and easier way to do tasks centralized over all grub’s options ?

For example those files (chainloaded) could boot via GRUB2 a secure boot installation for example :

grubx64.efi.signed

grubnetx64.efi.signed

Regards.

Hi .

I’m wondering is there anyone succeeded in fully automated iPXE ubuntu 20.04 install via fog.

I tried many parameters with no success.

It seems url= is only for http and ftp am i wrong ?

By the way i managed to boot Fedora workstations , Debian via a regular pxe with grub chainloaded in EFI Secure boot with the shim.signed.

Is there a way to chainload grub2 in fog ? It could be the easiest.
