Hi,
i haven't checked back in a while and notice you update is quite a bit :)
could you add Kali Purple:
https://www.kali.org/get-kali/#kali-platforms
Btw i notice you have USB storage to where you can store and launch iso right? for example Windows ISO?
// Kind Regards
Error: ./install-pxe-server_pass2.sh: 784: [: http://releases.ubuntu.com/17.10/ubuntu-17.10-desktop-amd64.iso: unexpected operator
Can't give any more info than that.
Any ideas?
I have tried to boot with UEFI mode in BIOS settings but it did not work. I use Realtek controller to boot from it. My laptop is Asus K501LX. Booting from Legacy (CSM) does work but UEFI doesn't.

If, by some unfortunate miracle of chance, $DST_NFS_ETH0 were to become unset, these lines (particularly 650 and 755)
could erase someones entire system, including any and all attached media, possibly even mounted network shares.
Worse yet, this script is being run as root.
I see there is a check to make sure _unhandle_iso and _unhandle_kernel is not called with a blank $1, but theres still a chance someone could pass a character that does not resolve to $1 == __, but overall would still resolve to sudo rm -rf /.
For example, calling _unhandle_kernel *
would end up as rm -rf /*
and passes the check.
Should change to:
sudo rm -rf $DST_NFS_ETH0:?
I realize this is an extremely unlikely chance, but never underestimate people's ability to shoot themself in the foot and claim it was your fault because you let them chew bubblegum that one day back in '88.
I saw more info was needed.

Hello,
I have sucessfully installed part 1 and 2, do I need to configure annything else? and I can t find annything in the processes list with ps -A. Does the server now start at boot? I tried hooking it up to my Router and launch PXE boot on my laptop, but I get no file recieved. And how do I configure the server?
Regarding Windows 10, it would be amazing to to keep all your installation media say on a 64 gig drive in your RPI and install them trough your Network. Say my old windows 7 Pc don t boot, just boot the installation kit trough LAN :)
Thank you for the fast and helpful responses:)
Kind Regards.
Tails 4.5 isn't PXE booting, because of missing network modules.
/lib/modules/5.4.0-4-amd64/kernel/net/ folder is missing ethernet and phy modules.
could you create any way to add extra links to other linux distro into the code?
any thing like a bash script to add the name of distro into a column of a csv file and into the others column the links
Hello I have difficulties setting the right keyboard layout. Can You add English US as second option marked out?

I like to use this RPi-PXE-Server using an automated installer. Maybe you can implement this as an optional feature?

Where do I set a different bios setting?
Is there a generic option that will just give a temp option so that I can get menu?
Thanks
And great scripts made for easy setup
I filled in the script where to find the PE.iso
The script made a label in de menu.
But when trying to boot to PE it shows an error no such file or directory
When I change the location /iso/ to something else and move the PE.iso into this new location I get the same error.
I'm not used to linux so please could you help me out?
I believe you can change the ARCH that RPi reports while doing PXEBoot.
This value is stored in the /boot/bootcode.bin file. I accidentally found it while searching for a way to enable UART during early boot stages. I haven't tested it, but that's most certainly the value that would be sent to DHCP during a PXE Boot request scenario
Below, this sed command would change the string of DHCP Option #93 (client-arch) to indicate that it's an ARM32_EFI architecture. You may wish to use Arch:00011 for ARM64_EFI, or any integer greater than or equal to 12 to indicate a custom CSA.
You would then be able to dhcp-match the client-arch (and remove the MAC address matching):
##dnsmasq.conf
.....
dhcp-match=set:arm32, option:client-arch, 10
dhcp-match=set:aarch64, option:client-arch, 11
dhcp-match=set:rpi2b, option:client-arch, 42dhcp-boot=tag:arm32,ipxe/ipxe-arm32.efi
dhcp-boot=tag:aarch64,ipxe/ipxe-aarch64.efi
dhcp-boot=tag:rpi2b,ipxe/ipxe-rpi32.efi
.....
sed -i -e 's/PXEClient:Arch:00000:UNDI:002001/PXEClient:Arch:00010:UNDI:002001/' /boot/bootcode.bin
You can get the latest compiled bootcode.bin from here
To see what PXEClient ARCH is set:
strings /boot/bootcode.bin | grep PXEClient
From the DNSMASQ man pages:
under the reference: pxe-service= .....
CSA is client system type, only services of the correct type will appear in a menu. The known types are x86PC, PC98, IA64_EFI, Alpha, Arc_x86, Intel_Lean_Client, IA32_EFI, x86-64_EFI, Xscale_EFI, BC_EFI, ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI; an integer may be used for other types.
Could it include calls to scripts that we customize? This way it would be easier to add our features and synchronize with the project updates.
In #22 you show some commands, though which file should they be included in?
Anyway, thanks for the project!
As referenced in #5, comment 4. I cannot get IPv4 UEFI boot to work. Initially, I suffered an error prompt from my BIOS "Selected boot image did not authenticate
" then after disabling secure boot, I got an error "The selected boot device failed to load
". Suggests the issue here is two-fold, firstly with secure boot an then with the PXE configuration.
After you (@beta-tester) pointed this out "did you removed the '#' in front of the efi32 and efi64 stuff i comment out?", I did so and that is what got me the "The selected boot device failed to load
" error, initially I was only getting the "The selected boot device failed to load
" error, even with secure boot enabled.
I am going to try with an iPXE device so I can get more detailed error reports and will update.
I am yet to test this "what you also can try is to offer the UEFI computer the UEFI compatible boot-manager-file directly (in dnsmasq) instead of offering the pxe-menu file. but then you don't have the choice anymore to select different OS'es for UEFI computers."
Referring to
#31
This patch stopped working starting around I think it was Tails 6.10.
I couldn't get an error code, it just refuses to boot once the initrd is downloaded from tftp without any error.
I believe the problem started when Tails switched to the Linux 6.x kernel. My best analysis is that its not the actual patch thats the problem but Linux 6.x kernels handle initrd images differently somehow which makes it refuse any appending initrd patches like thisone.
I've been trying for a few weeks but got nowhere. Hopefully someone can at least establish why this happens.

Hello @beta-tester and all other...,

You may have a look at:

Greetings from the Pi-Farm
I have everything installed from the readme (ISO's are downloaded as well via the scripts), but am having an issue that I haven't figured out yet.
I see the menu but when I select an item to boot from it says it's downloading, however never does anything and then returns to the PXE boot screen. Any ideas?
Running latest raspbian Linux raspberrypi 4.14.79-v7+ fully updated attaching my installed packages in case there's a version that needs to be different than installed.
I dont have an SD card big enough to store all the img files, can I store them on the USB instead, if so how?
Hi, I see that your code is specific to a interface name. However your code can be much simpler by using this line.
ethernet=
basename -a /sys/class/net/* | grep 'eth\|ens\|enp'
wifi=
basename -a /sys/class/net/* | grep 'wlan\|wlx\|wlp'
The code is not showing as it pretends to be because github thinks it is code and removes the ` sign
By using this it doesn't matter what the interfaces on the Raspberry client is. You can set this as a variable for all the config files you want to insert.
You may want to take a look at my Routing script from Wireless to Ethernet.
https://github.com/squadramunter/network_routing/blob/master/setup
I created this script to run on every Debian based Linux distro.

Kind Regards.
Knoppix 8.6.1 isn't PXE booting, because of missing network modules.
/modules/net folder is empty.
Hello:
Use your script project, I can already boot WinPE, a lots linux system easily.
Now, I want to boot Clover EFI Bootloader from PXE server, So that I can easily install Apple macOS on my Hackintosh PC.
I just test create an ISO file from EFI
APPLE_CLOVER=Apple
APPLE_CLOVER_URL=http://192.168.88.100:8000/Apple.iso`
handle_iso $APPLE_CLOVER $APPLE_CLOVER_URL;`
After do this, only WinPE is Appeared in PXE Boot menu, and nothing for Clover EFI Bootloader. How can I do that?
Hi, First I would thank you for this amazing project you've done.
It helps me with installing my distro's a lot easier.
Can you make a docker container from this? I don't want to mess things up if it goes wrong. And is it safe to be used when other services are running that are using port 53? Like dnsmasq or bind9?
Maybe you can provide a manual installation README? I have apache2 and dnsmasq already setup but I like to use PXE on my Raspberry Pi. Is there a way to combine already installed applications with this script you provide?
Thanks and hope you can help me with this question.
Hi,
i came by your project and love it so far and i was wondering if its possible to add some more things to your project

Since POP!_OS has Nvidia drivers preinstalled this is very nice to use steam on a live PXE boot. Nvidia works even using live version. So streaming games is no problem at all.
I like to see this distro in the list be added soon.
Hello, first of all thank you for such a useful development, it is excellent! I wanted to ask you if there is any tutorial to add isos type medicat, Windows 7 AIO or installers of W10 (Preferably for novices). Excuse me if you already explained it but I'm new with this, and many things happen to me, but I feel like it and force :)
Regards!
I have added and altered some features of your scripts. If interested, please let me know and I could pull request.
Feautes/alterations are:

I am trying to get any Linux running on old laptop. Laptop will not boot DVD or USB drive. your PXE server worked well for many of the built in URLs and also several I added. But, several I want to try will not download, although I can download them from Firefox. They have lots of redirects, which could be the issue.
I looking at pass2.sh, I found $src_iso and $file_iso. I put the ISOs I want to use on memory stick, but have been unable to get it to work. Do you have documentation on using these options?
using file name.txt
I tried above file, but it is not readable. Do I need a translation?
I am including my configs and screen capture for my last try. I am using Raspberry Pi for PXE server.
so all I really want to know is can you do it
Hello,
I am trying a variation of your PXE boot server procedure to boot Windows 10 from the RPi-PXE-Server (https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-configure-a-raspberry-pi-as-a-pxe-boot-server):
MENU BEGIN Windows
MENU TITLE Windows 10 amd64
LABEL windows_10_PE
MENU LABEL Windows PE (64 Bit)
KERNEL ::memdisk
INITRD ::win-pe-x64.iso
APPEND iso raw
MENU END
2. In order to enable booting in BIOS and EFI modus, I created the following directory structure:
/mnt/data/netboot
│win-pe-x64.iso
│memdisk
├── bios
│ ├── ldlinux.c32
│ ├── libcom32.c32
│ ├── libutil.c32
│ ├── pxelinux.0
│ ├── pxelinux.cfg -> ../pxelinux.cfg

│ ├── libcom32.c32
│ ├── libutil.c32
│ ├── pxelinux.cfg -> ../pxelinux.cfg
│ ├── syslinux.efi
│ └── vesamenu.c32
└── pxelinux.cfg
└── default
....and copied the files:
$ cp
/usr/lib/syslinux/modules/bios/{ldlinux,vesamenu,libcom32,libutil}.c32
/usr/lib/PXELINUX/pxelinux.0
/mnt/data/netboot/bios
$ cp
/usr/lib/syslinux/modules/efi64/ldlinux.e64
/usr/lib/syslinux/modules/efi64/{vesamenu,libcom32,libutil}.c32
/usr/lib/SYSLINUX.EFI/efi64/syslinux.efi
/mnt/data/netboot/efi64
3 I then linked the pxelinux.cfg to the "bios" and "efi64" directories
ln -rs pxelinux.cfg bios && ln -rs pxelinux.cfg efi64
I linked memdisk to the netboot directory
ln -s /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk /mnt/data/netboot/
I have generated a “win-pe-x64.iso” using microsoft’s “Windows ADK” and “Windows PE add-on” following your tutorial:
https://github.com/beta-tester/RPi-PXE-Server/wiki/Create-a-WinPE-ISO
I placed the “win-pe-x64.iso” file in /mnt/data/netboot
I copied a mounted windows iso installation file on a samba directory:
7.1 sudo mount /home/pi/SambaSharedDirectory/Win10_20H2_v2_EnglishInternational_x64.iso /media
7.2 sudo rsync -av /media/ /mnt/data/netboot/boot/amd64/windows/10

When I start the windows 10 installation, the client reports the following:

Do you know how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance
Hi, I want to use this on my Raspberry Pi. There is only one problem. My Raspberry has a bridged network interface. I see that your code only works on eth0
How can I make this work on interface br0?

netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0

Hi sir,
First of all, thanks for providing this great project.
The RPi PXE server does not work on my side.
I tried to install your default shell 1 and 2 files. (Download some ISO files on my 64GB card)
I also tried to modified some changes on the pass_2.sh (add/remove ISO path, change “DST_ROOT=/srv “or “/DST_ROOT=/srv to DST_ROOT=/media/server/srv”)
Did I miss something?
I reinstalled my system and failed over 20 times, so sad ....
Attaching three log files on this comment.
Thanks.
