        Thanks, that got me further. Now it goes back to the first menu (same error) after initrd loads. I’m thinking it has to do with the arguments passed to Ubuntu, but I am unsure. Any ideas?

          here’s a tip to tracking down what line kills it
          put a “prompt” after each line, and it will make you hit a key before continuing

            Thanks, the imgargs line kills it. I’ve been trying various tutorials and combinations for that line but I have yet to find one that works.

              Rather than imgargs, place the ARGs you want on the kernel line.

              TRY THIS:
              [CODE]
              set boot_url http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/
              set boot_nfs ${fog-ip}:/images/

              item Ubuntu14 Ubuntu 14.04 x64 Live
              item return return to previous menu
              choose target && goto ${target}

              :Ubuntu12

              kernel ${boot_url}/ubuntu/casper/vmlinuz.efi boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/images/ubuntu14.04/
              initrd ${boot_url}/ubuntu/casper/initrd.lz
              boot

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

                Awesome, that got me most of the way there. Now its just messing around with kernel arguments for the two Ubuntu distros. But, I did get Xubuntu 13.04 working with the following code in case anyone else finds it useful:

                [CODE]:Xubuntu 13.04
                kernel ${boot_url}/xubuntu/casper/vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs/ boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/images/xubuntu/
                initrd http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/fog/service/ipxe/xubuntu/casper/initrd.lz
                boot
                [/CODE]

                Thanks for all the help!

                    It was a little ugly but advanced menu codes started working for me after removing

                    [CODE]print “console --picture http://${boot-url}/service/ipxe/bg.png --left 100 --right 80\n”;[/CODE]

                    from advanced.php

                    I put the line back in replacing “${boot-url}” with [[I]my.servers.ip.address[/I]]/fog and all was well and looking good.

                        I managed to post this in the wrong thread. It has better context in and was intended for [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/ipxe-advanced-menu-or-memdisk-problem.10544/page-2[/url]

                        To answer your question:

                        I did the initial install from 1.0.1 subversion 1783. After reading a post from Tom last Thursday I updated to svn 1799. When that still didn’t fix my issue I patched to svn 1801. Fog version did in fact change to 1.1.0 with eiter svn 1799 or 1801. Apparently the advanced.php file was not being updated in that process. Perhaps I missed a step but all seems well now.

                          Anybody have any idea how to add a login option to the advanced menu? Or is this not currently possible? I really need a password on some of my options, and this was really easy to add with syslinux. I can’t seem to figure it out with iPXE.

                          Thanks!

                            if you set the menu to hidden, a password is required to access anything, i believe.

                                  really? a webserver should never delivery a php file contents cleartext.

                                      In svn, I’ve added the ability to set the menu itself as either login or no login. I’m not going to work, quite yet, on the individual advanced menu password requirements.

                                      Hopefully this will help people out.

                                          Thanks for the responses everyone. I really appreciate it. Hiding the menu works for the time being, but having the ability to pick and choose which menu items have it, and which don’t down the road would be most welcome.

                                            I’ve now added the ability to add “individual” password login settings to menu items
                                            My current menu that is tested and working, although very minimal, is:
                                            [code]isset ${userID} && goto do_me || goto MENU
                                            :do_me
                                            kernel bzImage root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 ip=dhcp dns=10.10.10.1 web=10.10.10.118/fog/ consoleblank=0 loglevel=4 type=down img=win7actsysprep ftp=10.10.10.118 imgType=n osid=7 storage=10.10.10.118:/images capone=1 imgFormat=0
                                            imgfetch init.xz && boot || goto MENU
                                            :MENU
                                            menu
                                            item --gap Please Select one of the images below
                                            item fog.local Boot from hard disk
                                            item d101_64 D101 Base Image (64 bit load)
                                            item return Return to main menu
                                            choose --default fog.local target && goto ${target}
                                            :fog.local
                                            sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80 || goto MENU
                                            :d101_64
                                            chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/advanced.php?login=1 || goto MENU
                                            :return
                                            chain http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} || goto MENU
                                            autoboot[/code]

                                            Notice the :d101_64 how it has the chain -ar ${boot-url}/service/ipxe/advanced.php?login=1 || goto MENU ?That’s all that’s needed to have a “login” for your menu item. Notice the top where it says :do_me? This is important to note that it’s ABOVE the menu generation part of the advanced menu setup.

                                            As I stated, this is very basic, but a method to :sort: the different functions could be:
                                            [code]isset ${userID} && iseq ${bootnum} 1 && goto do_me ||
                                            isset ${userID} && iseq ${butnum} 2 && goto do_me2 ||
                                            goto MENU
                                            :do_me
