    • RE: Live CD Configurations for boot

      I have tried another version of loading the files to clinet machine through the PXE advanced options.

      kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/boot/ubu1/casper/vmlinuz
      initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/boot/ubu1/casper/initrd.lz
      boot [/CODE]

      In this case, the code above essentially gets me to the same screen as before.
      It seemingly has booted into … something. Giving me the (initramfs) _ line not unlike what the terminal looks in ubuntu. I am missing some step here in which certain files necessary to the boot process of the live CD have been left out, or rather, not pointed to. I am looking to find out what I am missing, and how to remedy this issue. As I intend to try other live CDs it will be important to understand what files are necesssary in a debian type OS

    • Live CD Configurations for boot

      Well, I am sure this has been asked and answered for many however, I cannot find a usable solution online from any resources so far in attempt to get multiple live CD’s to boot from the fog server i have set up.

      Firstly, if there is some hidden tutorial i have not read yet, please do post a link for me.

      Fog server is the newest version currently available ( 1.2 ) and the live cd I am trying to boot first is the Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit desktop ISO.

      Successes so far…
      Loading the iso into memory using a similar script added to the advanced PXE boot options

      [CODE]item UBUNTU Ubuntu 14.04 64b

      :UBUNTU
      initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/iso/ubuntu-14.04-64.iso
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      echo failed to boot
      prompt
      goto MENU[/CODE]

      I did not post the entirety of this menu, only the relevant pieces.
      This loads the ISO file, and continues to the boot loading process. Ubuntu loading screen appears as expected.
      Fails to boot after a minute, giving me a command line .

      (initramfs)

      where the username usually is. And I can type commands. list the directory etc. but cannot CD into certain directories.

      I have tried this with other liveCD’s and each encounter an error after the text based screens. Kav-rescue cd got the furthest, with me able to select between GUI and text based modes, but will fail on GUI selection (have not tried text based, though it being not my preference I would assume that would go along without a hitch =P )

      If anyone has a working liveCD boot configuration on their FOG server, or know how to create one, any help would be appreciated.
      I have tried using NFS with the kernel options but I am either not setting this up properly ( most likely as i am lost on some of those instructions ) or it is simply an outdated solution. I’m not sure which, but i have not gotten as far as I have with utilizing the ISO file itself.
