      the ${boot-url} parameter already sets the http part of the url. So try this below:

      menu
      item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
      item WIN7PE64BIT Win7 64bit Recovery Console
      item WIN7PE32BIT Win7 32bit Recovery Console
      item BOOTCD Hirens BootCD
      item shell ipxe shell
      item return return to previous menu
      choose --default WIN7PE64BIT --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

      :WIN7PE64BIT
      initrd ${boot-url}/MenuItems/Win7-64bit/7rd64.iso
      chain ${boot-url}/MenuItems/Win7-64bit/memdisk iso raw
      goto MENU

      :WIN7PE32BIT
      initrd ${boot-url}/MenuItems/Win7-32bit/7rd32.iso
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      :BOOTCD
      initrd ${boot-url}/MenuItems/bootcd/bootcd14.iso
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      :ipxedemo
      chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php ||
      goto MENU

      :shell
      shell ||
      goto MENU

      :return
      chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
      prompt
      goto MENU

      autoboot[/code]

        Ahhhh,

        Yeah, it fails loading the console picture.

        This is now fixed in SVN. Please update and sorry about that.

            Is there anyway to add the password option to these advanced items like in version .32?

            Thanks,

              Yes, and no.

              The password “options” are no longer using md5pass as they once where.

              The easiest method would be to add login prompts.

              I don’t know much more about all the details you’d need though.

                Just wanted to protect the items like it did in .32. I will take a look.

                    I’m still experiencing Advanced Menu selection issue mentioned by Danny and Andy. Screen flickers and default menu appears with blue background.

                    Tested with svn 1783 and 1799

                    I will update the subversion again now to see if there is any difference.

                    I’ve been using Junkhackers sample code from [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-0-33b-edit-pxe-menu.10403/#post-26419’]this post[/URL]

                    menu
                    item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                    item ipxedemo ipxe online boot demo
                    item shell ipxe shell
                    item return return to previous menu
                    choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

                    :ipxedemo
                    chain [url]http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php[/url] ||
                    goto MENU

                    :shell
                    shell ||
                    goto MENU

                    :return
                    chain [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}[/url] ||
                    prompt
                    goto MENU

                    autoboot[/FONT]

                      check for typo’s and/or hidden symbols from copying and pasting. ipxe is very picky

                        Hmm… I’ve tried clearing the field and retyping from scratch and still the same issue persists.

                        I also tried just typing basic commands in the field:

                        [CODE]echo hello world[/CODE]
                        [CODE]shell[/CODE]

                        I even tried to change the background to something obvious…
                        [CODE]cpair --foreground 3 --background 6 0[/CODE]

                        No matter what I put in the Advance Menu Code field the result is still a blue background with the default menu list

                        As expected if I leave the field blank the Advance Menu option is not listed on the default menu. Same result with svn 1801. Perhaps I will roll up my sleeves and dig into /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/advanced.php

                        Appreciate any guidance.

                        Thanks

                          I’d start here:
                          [code]:MENU
                          menu
                          item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                          item ipxedemo ipxe online boot demo
                          item shell ipxe shell
                          item return return to previous menu
                          choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

                          :ipxedemo
                          chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php ||
                          goto MENU

                          :shell
                          shell ||
                          goto MENU

                          :return
                          chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} ||
                          ############prompt###################
                          goto MENU

                          autoboot
                          [/code]

                          Remove the prompt because it doesn’t know how to interpret the prompt itself is what I’m guessing. Maybe you wanted:
                          [code]
                          :return
                          chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} || prompt && goto MENU
                          [/code]

                          The || and a new line just tells iPXE to if it fails, do nothing successfully, which it’s doing, but it doesn’t know how to pass back. It could also be the :MENU setting, but that shouldn’t matter too much.

                            My issue is fixed. I posted my update in the wrong thread. The full answer is here:
                            [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-0-33b-edit-pxe-menu.10403/page-2#post-30033’]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-0-33b-edit-pxe-menu.10403/page-2#post-30029[/URL]

                            Basically my advanced.php was out of date and wasn’t being updated in svn updates. Hard coding my server IP fixed advanced menus for me.

                                it changes how ipxe attempts to exit and allow the computer to the hard drive. different bios may require different methods to boot properly
