Ipxe error “./util/genfsimg: could not find isolinux.bin” on Ubuntu

After a comment and another guy contacting me on my Article https://link.medium.com/SrWpvbGZKub I decided to add this hint on using Ipxe on Ubuntu.

It seems Ubuntu removed isolinux.bin completely or at least on some Versions (sry, no time to investigate further)

If you see the error ““./util/genfsimg: could not find isolinux.bin” after the Command

$ ./util/genfsimg -o ipxe.iso bin/ipxe.lkrn bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi

Try to install isolinux with

$ apt-get install isolinux

And everything should work as expected. Ipxe looks for the isolinux.bin at

/usr/lib/ISOLINUX/

Check that location for isolinux.bin.
