My issue is fixed. I posted my update in the wrong thread. The full answer is here:

Basically my advanced.php was out of date and wasn’t being updated in svn updates.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.
[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.
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.
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
Eli
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]

Kernel updates are now working for me on CentOS 6.5 after installing subversion 17?? On Friday.
These instructions were helpful:
FYI - currently getting a similar message under CentOS 6.5 after a message flashed briefly that the download was complete.
FOGFTP: Failed to rename file. Remote Path: /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/backup/3142TEX6420140521_172900, Local Path: /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/3142TEX64, Error: ftp_rename(): RNFR command failed.
-FOG Version 1.0.1
-OS Version CentOS 6.5 (minimal install + base and a few others)
-Apache error logs show nothing useful on this
-Not finding applicable content on forums
-Fresh test build on CentOS 6.5 in hopes of using GUI for Kernel updates. It is strictly a convenience. I will happily use wiki’s manual method linked in Tom’s signature if it means imaging stays working!
Thanks for all your hard work Tom and others!!
All is well with the world now! Had to revert to Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows 7 32 bit box.

[]Microsoft Studio 2010 Express Visual C# edition doesn’t seem to want to load the FOG Service Installler. I get an error message that indicates that one of the components isn’t compatible with my version of Visual Studio. The first part about changing the passkey and rebuilding the Hostname changer seems to work properly.
[]With a trial copy of Microsoft Studio 2010 I get a little further. The FogService.sln file loads without error and I can change the specified properties but building the FOG Service Installer results in an error trying to locate a file called blank.jpg
[*]Just for grins I put an empty text file named blank.jpg in the expected location. This got rid of the error but then I had 6 warnings indicating trouble finding .net framework 2.0 and complaining that multiple objects have the same target location. In either case the necessary files expected per the instructions are not generated in the release folder.

Can someone at least confirm that the instructions work with the .32 download package? I suspect that I am either missing or misinterpreting part of the instructions. It will help to hear from someone that it still works as advertised before I continue to bang my head against the wall. Perhaps I should try this on a workstation with W7x32 or even XP. All of the forum/blog references I find point right back to the fogproject wiki.
