Can only add 1 entry to FOF pxe selection menu

[dabob]

Can anyone please explain why I am only able to add one entry to FOG pxe selection menu when I go in and edit the default pxelinux.cfg file?

I added an entry/menu label for both DSL and Knoppix, however only one of them displays correctly.

Thanks,
dabob

Can you show us the configuration so we can try to help you out.

Hi Tom, and thanks for the prompt response.

Here is the configuration below, I believe it has something to do with wrong formatting on my end. However, I’m very new to FOG and am not exactly sure. I will try to post a screen shot somehow of the menu after pxe boot, but I’m running ubuntu on VB VM which holds all of FOG services, then I have another VB VM that I use to pxe the FOG VM. Both running on Windows 7 host.

How do I screen shot of the pxe client VM while in FOG pxe selection menu?

I’m only going out on a limb here, but it seems, based on looking at the configuration, you’re not seeing the menu option for DSL? Is this correct?

It’s because of the line that says:
[code]MENU LABELDSL LIVE CD[/code]
It should say:
[code]MENU LABEL DSL LIVE CD[/code]

Hi again Tom,

Here is a screenshot of the menu, notice how the code for the KNOPPIX LIVE CD is being displayed and located in the lower right hand corner.

NOTE: I made the change to the spacing of LABEL and DSL that you pointed out, however the results are the same as indicated in the screenshot attachment.

Thanks,
dabob

Then I’d try getting rid of the TEXT HELP and END TEXT Bits as you have nothing underneath it anyway.

Maybe try the following lines to your /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
[code]
LABEL DSL LIVE CD
MENU MASTER PASSWD password
kernel fog/DSL/memdisk
append iso initrd=fog/DSL/dsl-4.11.rc1.iso raw
MENU LABEL DSL LIVE CD
TEXT HELP
DSL Linux Bootable ISO
ENDTEXT

LABEL KNOPPIX LIVE CD
MENU MASTER PASSWD password
kernel fog/linux-iso/memdisk
append iso initrd=fog/linux-iso/KNOPPIX_V7.2.0CD-2013-06-16-EN.iso raw
MENU LABEL KNOPPIX LIVE CD
TEXT HELP
Knoppix Bootable ISO
ENDTEXT[/code]

Last thing:

END TEXT Should actually read ENDTEXT <-- Sorry I didn’t notice this sooner.
Hopefully this will help.

Hi Tom,

I put END TEXT as you suggested and and all seems good now, I even put it back to END TEXT and was able to recreate to problem.

I really appreciate your help and prompt responses, now I’m able to carry on with my learning on linux/Ubuntu and FOG.

i guess that’s what my professor meant when he said "pay close attention to details when working, especially with text based config files/programs.

Thanks;
dabob
