PXE Boot Ventoy
#4
I use the following urls to setup my environment

https://linuxhint.com/iscsi_storage_server_centos/
https://ipxe.org/howto/chainloading
downloaded
http://boot.ipxe.org/undionly.kpxe and http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.efi
placed them in my tftp share /var/lib/tftpboot

added these two options to the top of /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

option client-architecture code 93 = unsigned integer 16;
option iscsi-initiator-iqn code 203 = string;

added this if block code to the subnet section

########## start of if block ############
if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
    filename "";
    option iscsi-initiator-iqn "iqn.2022-10.com.example.iscsi:init1";
    option root-path "iscsi:iscsi.example.com::::iqn.2022-10.com.example.iscsi:ventoy";
} elsif option client-architecture = 00:00 {
    filename "undionly.kpxe";
} else {
    filename "ipxe.efi";
}
############ end of if block #################

installed ventoy to iqn.2022-10.com.example.iscsi:ventoy

edited /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi to set
InitiatorName=iqn.2022-10.com.example.iscsi:init1

iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2022-10.com.example,iscsi:ventoy -p iscsi.example.com -l

used VentoyGUI.x86_64 to install ventoy to the iscsi disk it was labeled ventoy to me.

I mounted the ventoy partition and copied my Fedora install iso to it

tested booting via ipxe and I get all the way to the ventoy menu select screen
I was able to select my Fedora install iso

then I get stuck  it loops on similar messages to as follows. The beginning numbers differ from reality.
