  Feature request: Boot Windows EFI from M.2 in PCIE ver.2 slot
Posted by: Fiedzia - 07-24-2023, 06:26 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

I would like to ask if there is a way to create a USB without ISO selection so that it can find and boot the internal M2 drive with EFI Win10 OS on it?

For example in this way:

{
    "control": [
        { "VTOY_MENU_TIMEOUT": "10" },
        { "VTOY_DEFAULT_IMAGE": "F4>Search PCIE M2 and boot EFI Windows" }
    ]
}

Not all BIOS'es support M.2 in PCIE ver.2 slot. A simple upgrade eliminates this problem But, in order for the BIOS to load the OS, you need to insert an additional module into the BIOS. And this is already complicated and can cause problems.
I would think it would be much more convenient to boot from tiny USB which redirect booting to PCIE slot with Windows EFI in it. Such an option would also be convenient in the case when you have to frequently replace other disks in the computer.

  iventoy crashes if there are SPARC iso images in the iso directory

  Unknown filesystem
Posted by: balanga - 07-22-2023, 03:02 PM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - Replies (5)

I have created an entry in ventoy_grub.cfg for booting void linux from /dev/sda6 on a Ventoy disk, but get an error msg:-

error: unknown filesystem.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

The same grub.cfg works fine when I try booting from a non-Ventoy disk.

Can someone explain what is going on and how to overcome this error?

  Updating ISO images without restarting service
Posted by: Fico - 07-21-2023, 01:00 PM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - Replies (2)

Hello,

I installed iVentoy on Debian Bookworm and set up NFS file share from which I get .iso images.

I want to know is there any way to set that when I upload new image in my file share that it is synced to iVentoy iso folder without restarting service.

  TerabyteUnlimited Bootit Bare Metal (BIBM) and Ventoy
Posted by: click-click - 07-21-2023, 10:51 AM - Forum: Ventoy Discussion Forum - No Replies

Has  anyone that uses BIBM been able to boot a Ventoy flash USB from the BIBM boot menu? For me, Ventoy won't boot from there with a
strange message that says the boot sector does not support its location on the hard drive. For some reason BIBM doesn't like the
way the flash is created. I don't have problems with other bootable flash USBs. Thanks for any infos on this.

  iVentoy 1.0.16 instantly crashing during iPXE boot attempt (before selection)
Posted by: pkx - 07-21-2023, 12:17 AM - Forum: iVentoy Discussion Forum - Replies (3)

I want to deploy iVentoy in my labs to streamline my VM deployment and automate the installation. I've set up a completely new Ubuntu 22.04 new VM:

Code:
root@deipxe:/opt/iventoy# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release:        22.04
Codename:      jammy

I have configured iVentoy, added a few ISOs, the webinterface is launching, configured it with `ExternalNet`, prepared the DHCP accordingly and everything seems to be pretty much working for now.

iVentoy is also running:
Code:
# ps -ax | grep -i iventoy | grep -v grep
  52829 ?        Ssl    0:01 /opt/iventoy/lib/iventoy

Then I start my VM (in a different subnet), it is then booting just fine:
[Image: 2023-07-21_01-04-02-GtXdmCQL.png]

Just after this screen finishes, the entire VM crashes on ESXi 7.0 U3:
Code:
2023-07-21T00:08:56.817Z In(05) vcpu-0 - Msg_Post: Error
2023-07-21T00:08:56.817Z In(05) vcpu-0 - [msg.efi.exception] The firmware encountered an unexpected exception. The virtual machine cannot boot.

In the iVentoy logs I can only see:

Interestingly, also iVentoy crashes:

-no output-

Very odd part: I booted up like 30 times now, it worked once until the boot menu (where I can pick the ISO file):

Booting via SCCM has been working fine, and the 1 attempt worked - so I'd rule out ESXi as the root-cause here.

But it crashes like 99% of my attempts, reproducible. If there're any specific logs I can provide, let me know.

I'd appreciate any assistance here. Thanks!

  debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso persistance fails
Posted by: saru4 - 07-20-2023, 10:26 AM - Forum: Ventoy Plugin Forum - Replies (4)

Hi all,
I have debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso on a ventoy cd.
The linuxmint-21.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso works fine with persistance

BUT when I choose debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso ventoy does go through the boot up correctly and allows me to choose debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso with persistance. I can log into the desktop and install apps, but when I reboot, theres no persistance. ie it DOES NOT SAVE BETWEEN SESSIONS.

Here is my directory structure:
.
├── debian-live-11.7.0-amd64-kde.iso
├── debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso
├── linuxmint-21.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso
└── ventoy
    ├── persistence_debian-live-11.7.0-amd64-kde.dat
    ├── persistence_debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.dat
    ├── persist_LM-21.2-cinnamon.dat
    └── ventoy.json

1 directory, 7 files


*The persistence_debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.dat is simply the  persistence_ext4_4GB_casper-rw.dat  file renamed.
* Here is my ventoy.json file:
{
    "persistence":
    [
        {
            "image": "/linuxmint-21.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso",
            "backend":"/ventoy/persist_LM-21.2-cinnamon.dat"
        },
        {
            "image": "/debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.iso",
            "backend":"/ventoy/persistence_debian-live-12.0.0-amd64-kde.dat"
        },
        {
            "image": "/debian-live-11.7.0-amd64-kde.iso",
            "backend":"/ventoy/persistence_debian-live-11.7.0-amd64-kde.dat"
        }
    ]
}



Is there something I'm missing for debian 12 to make it persistant?
Why does Linuxmint 21.1 work perfectly with persistance and not debian 12?

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks
saru
