Hi, I have just installed our PXE boot server using PXE which chainloads iPXE http://ipxe.org/. iPXE loads a menu.cfg which displays a nice menu which allows our employees to choose what to boot (Ghost, GParted, UBCD etc.).
The menu etc. all works fine. To spice it up a bit i want to add a menu background. I know this is possible but i keep failing. I tried to use the file available here as a test: http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up-a-pxe-install-server-on-ubuntu-9.10-p3 Here is my (shortened) menu.cfg: ------------------------------------------ DEFAULT vesamenu.c32 PROMPT 0 MENU MARGIN 10 MENU ROWS 16 MENU TABMSGROW 21 MENU TIMEOUTROW 26 MENU COLOR BORDER 30;44 #20ffffff #00000000 none MENU COLOR SCROLLBAR 30;44 #20ffffff #00000000 none MENU COLOR TITLE 0 #ffffffff #00000000 none MENU COLOR SEL 30;47 #40000000 #20ffffff MENU BACKGROUND splash.png MENU TITLE PXE Boot Menu timeout 1200 label local menu label Boot local HDD localboot 1 label ghost menu label Symantec Ghost menu default kernel memdisk append initrd=ghost/ghost.img ------------------------------------------ Now using a .jpg file i get the following screen: http://i56.tinypic.com/vemdew.jpg Notice the "crap" at the top of the screen. That colored line dissapears when i use an 8 bit PNG but the background stays black. I've tried alot of different "How To's" i found online. Splash.png is in the same directory as this menu.cfg is in which is /var/www/pxe/ where all my ISO's etc reside. My DHCP options are: ------------------------------------------ subnet 172.13.14.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 172.13.14.30 172.13.14.200; option domain-name-servers 172.13.14.1; option routers 172.13.14.1; if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" { filename "http://172.13.14.9/pxe/menu.gpxe";; } else { filename "undionly-ipxe.kpxe"; } next-server 172.13.14.9; option tftp-server-name "172.13.14.9"; option domain-name "vbvb.td"; option thinsrv 172.13.14.92; # required by Intel PXE-2.1 server-identifier 172.13.14.9; } ------------------------------------------ Please advice! :) Thanks, Bento
