Sorry I misread your response. So if I understand correct

Q. Can you paste the code of your menu entry as text?

Here is the text from parameters section in the menu entry. I removed “:fog.trusty” in the beginning like you suggested.

set path /fog/OS_IMAGES/ubuntu-14.04.3-DVD
set nfs_path /images/OS_IMAGES/ubuntu-14.04.3-DVD
kernel http://fogsrv/fog/OS_IMAGES/ubuntu-14.04.3-DVD/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux || read void
initrd http://fogsrv/fog/OS_IMAGES/ubuntu-14.04.3-DVD/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz || read void
imgargs linux root=/dev/nfs boot=casper live-installer/net-image=http://fogsrv/fog/OS_IMAGES/ubuntu-14.04.3-DVD/install/filesystem.squashfs ks=http://fogsrv/fog/OS_IMAGES/kickstarts/precise_ks.cfg ip=dhcp splash quiet – || read void 
boot || read void
goto start

Q. The parameters should not need the :fog.trusty as you have as it automatically creates the function caller for you.

Removed “fog.trusty” from the menu entry

Q. In the "New Task " how do I call this menu or should directly past the code in the Kernel or kernel parameters. If so can use the same from the “menu entry”

Thank you

@Tom-Elliott
First of all thank you for your time. I added “:fog.trusty” just like you suggested both in Kernel or Kernel Arguments field one at a time. Snap shot as shown

Neither of the settings worked. It says “Fatal Error Unknown request type : Null”

Any ideas?

I already had the new “boot menu entry”. Which works like a champ but I have to manually go to the console and select the option. Instead I want to add this to the task and get it assigned to host like other tasks.

When booting a server/pc I have to manually go to the console and scroll down to my “trusty” menu. Which is not idle for a remote management environment.

Hi,
I installed and configured fog “snapins”. I am using “trunk@5443” .

Can capture and deploy images.
Can add hosts and assign tasks to host.
Configured kickstart and added Ubuntu Trusty ISO
Was able to add a custom menu and install trusty with kickstart file.
```
      The issue I am trying to resolve is. 
```
Add the above menu to custom task. So I can assign it as a task for a kick-start installation.

Need some help in resolving this issue.

Thank you
Chakri
