Actually this doesn't appear to work for me on F10 ... I
don't get
memtest showing up in /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default when it's
installed and I've synced. This is something to be looked into.
I meant to follow up; I tried the RPM and had the same problem. Should I
file a bug or have you already done this?
Anyway, your text correction isn't quite right because the menus
are for
profiles only, system records don't show up in the menus. What it said
seems right to me.
What that was trying to say was that if you say "AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF" is
already in Cobbler, that will boot automatically and not give the menu.
That's just how the PXE menus work and that isn't specific to memtest.
I was confused by the behaviour/bug and assumed that the documentation
was incorrect. I am maintaining system records for all of the hosts that
I manage, so the auto-configuration of memtest is not going to do much
in my case anyway.
If I understand correctly, I need to add an entry for memtest in
pxesystem.template if I want it to appear in the system's PXE
configuration file. Is it possible to associate a PXE system template to
a profile? For example, I would like all of my HP servers to have an
entry in their PXE boot menu to boot the HP Firmware Updates CD, but I
do not want this entry to appear for my IBM servers.
