  External DHCP
Posted by: valstar - 06-05-2026, 07:11 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (1)

I have now inventoy 1.0.34 running only it does not work anymore (also the 1.0.26 does not work).

I think this is because the IP address given by the third party (the router) is a.b.c.20 for example while iVentoy only respond to ip address a.b.c.201 till a.b.c.221.
(I saw in WireShark the IP address given to the PXE Interface).

The DHCP server is in the same subnet (a.b.c.1/24) , On this DHCP server I configured option 66 and 67 (bootfile and next server).
I see that the PXE interface gets it's IP address but not within the configured range, even if I bind the PXE mac address to an IP address within the range it still doesn't work.

Looks like the iVentoy server does not respond at all? In the firewall I permit all traffic to and from the program 'iVentoy_64.exe'
The iVentoy is running on a Windows Server 2016.


Waiting at your input.

Kind regards,

Question Regarding UAPI.1 usage for multi-booting ISOs
Posted by: splayer - 06-05-2026, 05:20 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

Hello, I have been trying to find an easier alternative to implement the multi boot ISOs. I believe we can use UAPI.1 (The Bootloader Specification) to our advantage if we add two new keys to the conf file. I have also made the proposal to add those keys in the official github discussion thread for UAPI. I have written a detailed blog on how this will solve the need for hardcoded configs for each distribution. I will highly appreciate if the Ventoy dev takes a look at it and provides feedback on what I am trying to achieve. The blog is: https://splayer.4plt.ch/blogs/2-the-vent...index.html
I am also looking for feedback on the correctness of the facts I have presented in the blog. 
If this is not the correct place to post this then I sincerely apologize and request to guide me to a proper channel. 
Thank You.

  Ventoy not booting on some specific UEFI HW
Posted by: jiri - 05-27-2026, 11:24 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (2)

Hi there.

First of all, big thanks to Longpanda, I know many people said it too many times, but I really wanted to thank to Longpande for keep developing this tool. It has been a great contribution to the whole IT world.

I work for a company that specializes in supporting supermarkets, we are developing HW and SW to enable stores, restaurants, petrol stations and many others. Some of our specific HW (and some 3rd party HW) struggles to boot in UEFI. Those machines ignore the UEFI standard and have troubles to boot from anything else in some circumstances (large drives) other than Microsoft's bootloader (/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi).

I have created diagnostics tool for our engineers based on Ventoy using various ISO utilities, BIOS updates, the usual open source tools available and some specific to our machines. To make sure it boots on all UEFI machines, I had to modify the ventoy.disk.img.xz, unpack it, mount it and do the below:

  • From /EFI/BOOT/ copy BOOTX64.EFI, MokManager.efi, grub.efi and grubx64_real.efi into newly created folder: /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/
  • In /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ rename BOOTX64.EFI to bootmgfw.efi
  • repack the ventoy.disk.img with xz
Once I install the ventoy, it works great. I could only copy the X64 EFI binaries as there is not enough space on the 32MB EFI FAT partition, which is fine as this only affectes our X64 machines (we don't use any other architecture).

My humble question would be if perhaps other people approach you to do something similar as some other BIOSes may ignore the UEFI specs and just look for Microsoft bootloader as the only option. If that's the case, would you consider adding these files so all UEFI firmware would work?

Attached screenshot shows the original /EFI/BOOT/ files on the left and the newly added (copied) /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ files on the right.

Happy to discuss with you any further.

Thanks for your help.
Jiri

  Sterlec on iventoy
Posted by: xavi - 05-26-2026, 04:29 PM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - Replies (1)

Using iventoy with "Sterlec" AIO ISOs, the WinPE system boots fine, but the applications don't load into memory. If I do the same type of boot via USB, everything works fine. Why don't the applications load over the network?

  Confusing instruction
Posted by: nimareq - 05-12-2026, 10:49 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

Hi, I was following this guide https://www.ventoy.net/en/doc_ventoy2disk.html with vtsi file and then Rufus asked me to confirm that it will delete all data on the disk. It would be helpful if the guide mentioned that despite rufus saying it will delete everything, nothing will get deleted actually.

  CachyOS vDisk (vtoyboot) not working
Posted by: alain81 - 05-08-2026, 01:25 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (1)

Hi there!
I installed CachyOS in a virtual machine using Hyper-V (with option "generation 2" selected). Then I installed the vtoyboot script (vDisk Boot Plugin --> latest vtoyboot-1.0.36 release) and converted the VHDX file to VHD so it could boot with Ventoy.
The installation boots and runs fine in Hyper-V.
I then renamed the *.vhd file to *.vtoy. At boot, in Ventoy, I selected the correct CachyOS vtoy file, but it does not load and I receive the following error shown below. If I press Enter, after a few moments the same message appears again.

Quote:You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, or "exit" to continue bootup.

Cannot open access to console, the root account is locked.
See sulogin(8) man page for more details.

Press Enter to continue.

I followed this exact same procedure with Linux Mint and it works correctly in Ventoy, but for some reason CachyOS does not.
Do you have any idea why?

solved Persistence not working with LMDE7
Posted by: petergb - 05-07-2026, 06:51 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (2)

Greetings all,

I have recently set up a 128GB USB stick with Ventoy thus:
sudo bash Ventoy2Disk.sh -i -L FZV3 -r 20000 /dev/sdc

On the main partition of the stick I have placed 4 versions of Linux Mint
linuxmint-20.3-mate-64bit.iso
linuxmint-21.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso
linuxmint-21.3-mate-64bit.iso
linuxmint-22.3-mate-64bit.iso

Each of these versions of Linux Mint has a 2GB persistence file associated with it. I created a 2GB Persistence file using CreatePersistentImg.sh, then copied the file to the USB stick into the same folder as the isos, and then renamed it to suit the particular iso. Then I used:
sudo bash VentoyPlugson.sh /dev/sdc
...and the browser-based configuration utility to associate the persistence file with the appropriate iso. I repeated this process for all the 4 versions of Linux Mint.

All this worked very well! All 4 versions boot OK with or without persistence, and I have verified that the persistence is actually working as it should.

Now comes the problem. I want to try out LMDE7, so I went through the same steps as above with the LMDE7 iso, and then associating it with a 2GB persistence file using the browser-based configuration utility. It all looked like it had gone OK, no obvious error messages.

After doing this I can boot into LMDE7 using the Ventoy stick, and the option for persistence appears on the Ventoy menu as expected - but the persistence does not work.

It would be great to get the persistence working for LMDE7. Can anybody help, please?

Ventoy is 1.1.10 x86_64.
Ventoy Version in Disk: 1.1.10
Disk Partition Style : MBR
Secure Boot Support : YES

Linux 5.15.0-177-generic x86_64

If you need further information then please ask.

with best wishes, petergb.
