iPXE boot Ubuntu 18.04 LUN

RE: iPXE boot Ubuntu 18.04 LUN
iPXE is working.

The problems you are experiencing are mostly with the fact you are working from an installed OS (which thinks it's on local disk). A Kernel booting from iSCSI (or NFS) needs an initrd which has the support enabled for iSCSI (or NFS).

You will need change your /etc/fstab to match your iSCSI LUN(s): note that if you are using LVM/LVM2 on the installed OS, that those mount points will have to be taken into account.

You will also need to rebuild your initrd with iSCSI support.

Personally, I'd setup a clean, blank LUN and install Ubuntu from there instead of trying to switch over a running config.

Another possibility is setting up Ubuntu on NFS (which is easier in some ways).

Best,
