      [quote=“Junkhacker, post: 30030, member: 21583”]what version are you using?
      what you’re describing a known bug in 1.0.x that was fixed in the 1.1.0 update[/quote]

      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.

              remember though, that this method is only a mild level of security being added. if anyone goes to
              [FONT=Consolas][url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php[/url][/FONT]
              they will see the password in plain text

                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

                            What’s the difference between Aru’s method of booting (sanboot) and Junkhacker’s method (initrd and chain memdisk) when it comes to booting a Windows iso? I have an image of my Windows 7 installer disk, and was wondering.

                            Edit: I done goofed.

                              [quote=“madskillz23, post: 28476, member: 8206”]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![/quote]

                              Did you get Ubuntu 14.04 to boot??

                              I extracted all the files from the ISO and put them into /images/ubuntu14041/ and it tries to boot but I get the “(initramfs) Unable to find a live file system on the network” message…

                                I am pretty sure these work. Let me know if they don’t though and I should be able to find the backup copy of the arguments.

                                      /images as in the same as where the computer images get stored and therefore that’s where my /ubuntu folder should be at

                                      OR

                                      /images as in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/images/ubuntu

                                          Actually, here is my menu… any help appreciated…

                                          I extracted all files from the Ubuntu 14.04.1 i386 to /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/images/ubuntu14041

                                          set boot-url [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe[/url]
                                          set boot-nfs ${fog-ip}:/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe
                                          :MENU
                                          menu
                                          item --gap – Boot Menu Advanced
                                          item WinPE7 WinPE 7
                                          item Ubuntu14 Ubuntu 14
                                          item return return to previous menu
                                          choose --default return --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

                                          :WinPE7
                                          sanboot ${boot-url}/iso/winpe7.iso
                                          goto MENU

                                          :Ubuntu14
                                          kernel ${boot-url}/images/ubuntu14041/casper/vmlinuz root=/dev/nfs/ vga=normal boot=casper netboot=nfs fetch:${boot_url}/images/ubuntu14041/casper/filesystem.squashfs nfsroot=${boot-nfs}/images/ubuntu14041/

                                          boot
                                          goto MENU

                                            That one.

                                            /var… is boot_url and web directory
                                            /images is where the rest of your images are stored. that should have a fully extracted ubuntu dvd in a directory there. i
