The distros to be included in the PXE menu is configurable. It's set in the cron job which invokes the beaker-pxemenu command. In our configuration it's here: https://gitlab.infra.prod.eng.rdu2.redhat.com/ansible-roles/beaker/blob/master/lab-controller/templates/etc/cron.hourly/beaker_pxemenu.j2 Right now, the `beaker_pxemenu_xml_filter` Ansible variable is not defined for stage/prod, which means all distros are being included in the menus. I think at Jeff Burke's request. :-) But we can define a filter which matches everything *except* your new fake distro. Essentially in inventory/group_vars/beaker we would put: beaker_pxemenu_xml_filter: '<not><distro_family value="SKT7"/></not>' -- Dan Callaghan <dcall...@redhat.com> Senior Software Engineer, Products & Technologies Operations Red Hat
