Hello,

I set the “fog.advancedlogin” to “All hosts”

I set an own menu item to “Advanced Options”

When I boot in the menu, I see the Advanced Menu item … he asking for a login.
After login, he switch back to the main menu, which looks exactly same as before.

Where is my mistake? I want display a menu item only after login.

Thank you!

Hello,

I use a own background … this has on Top a image and while the menu is displaying, its fine.

Because the menu has a top margin(?)

but when I start loading a image or ISO, then the screen will be cleared and he begin on top to write.

But this is not good to read, because the background image is behind.

Can I set a top margin for all lines which are printed on the sreen?

Thank you!

@george1421 Hello,

thank you! This is now loading super fast. Just around 10sek.

But:
on my physical laptop he throw an error, there is not enough memory available to create virtual RAM disk.

On my Virtual Box VM, I have first the same error (2.3GB Ram) and increase it to 4.2GB … then he booting the Hirens BootCD.

But the Laptop has 8GB Ram … did you know why I get this error?

My Parameters:

initrd http://${fog-ip}/iso/HBCD_PE_x64.iso
chain memdisk iso raw ||
boot || goto start

Thank you!

@tom-elliott Hello,

how can I get the http path, where I need to copy the ISO to?

I installed FOG on my Ubuntu 18 Server

Hello,

when I load an 1.3GB ISO over pxe it takes very long … around 15min.

But I have a 5GBit Link. A iPerf3 speed test show me to the fog server:

Connecting to host 192.168.0.244, port 5201

So around 1.12Gbits … way takes to load the ISO over TFTP so long?

Thank you!

@truetus Hello,

I tried also to boot the Hirens BootCD and same problem with bootmgr

Maybe someone has the correct option?

To boot the complete ISO takes a quit longer time, right?

Thank you!

@george1421 Hello,

yes, but not working. I guess because I use the files from the Hiren`s Image?:

He load the 1.3GB boot.wim … and after the error displayed.

I set this in the menu:
set tftp-path tftp://${fog-ip}
set pe-path ${tftp-path}/os/hirens
kernel ${tftp-path}/wimboot gui
imgfetch --name BCD ${pe-path}/BCD BCD
imgfetch --name boot.sdi ${pe-path}/boot.sdi boot.sdi
imgfetch --name boot.wim ${pe-path}/boot.wim boot.wim
boot || goto MENU

Files in folder:

@george1421 Hello,

thank you … I´m booting via Virtualbox … but now it seems the Hiren´s Boot CD is a better choice for rescue systems:
https://www.hirensbootcd.org/

I download the latest ISO and mount it:

I read different posts:
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12939/adding-hiren-s-bootcd-pe-to-advanced-menu
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu#Hirens_15.04 (seems it is Ubuntu 15.04)
https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10944/using-fog-to-pxe-boot-into-your-favorite-installer-images/19?_=1609149532133

But not sure how do.

Maybe you have a instruction for the current Hiren´s Boot CD?

Thank you!

@sebastian-roth I see now, that the 5.5.2 ist very out dating.

Current is 7.01

Did you know which file and arguments I need for this?
cp /mnt/loop/isolinux/{rescue64,initram.igz} /tftpboot/os/RescueCd/5.2.2/

Both are in the 7.02 iso not available. Content of the isolinux:
-r–r--r-- 1 root root 2048 Dez 20 13:10 boot.cat
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 432 Dez 20 13:10 isohdpfx.bin
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 38912 Dez 20 13:10 isolinux.bin
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 137 Dez 20 13:10 isolinux.cfg
-rw-r–r-- 1 root root 119668 Dez 20 13:10 ldlinux.c32

Thank you!
