CPU stress images entries in UBCD50b8 are wrong

@ Victor
The cpu.cfg file contains errors.
The cmdhelpinfo= works only when ubcdcmd=helpinfo is set (so remove it from the other entries).

Code: Select all

Helpinfo: helpinfo
---------

The following isolinux entry will run Helpinfo:

    KERNEL /ubcd/boot/cpustres/bzImage
    APPEND initrd=/ubcd/boot/cpustres/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0
           ramdisk_size=12000 noapic ubcdcmd=helpinfo

The following isolinux entry will run Helpinfo for cpuburn:

    KERNEL /ubcd/boot/cpustres/bzImage
    APPEND initrd=/ubcd/boot/cpustres/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0
           ramdisk_size=12000 noapic ubcdcmd=helpinfo cmdhelpinfo=cpuburn
ubcdcmd=mprime24 mprime is also wrong. Just use ubcdcmd=mprime24. Similar for other entries.

I changed the Stress entry text (removed the "disk stress" part, because it is not supported, added info about the cmdstress parameter). I also added cmdstress="--help" to the APPEND command line (not nessecary) so it is easier for users to change "--help" to their preferred parameters for stress.
LABEL -
MENU LABEL Stress V1.00
TEXT HELP
Simple workload generator for POSIX systems. It imposes a configurable amount
of CPU, memory and I/O stress on the system. This menu item launches stress
with the "--help" parameter. Run it again with the stress test options that you
prefer or add cmdstress="<your options>" to this menu entry (e.g. "--quiet -c 1k").

KERNEL /ubcd/boot/cpustres/bzImage
APPEND initrd=/ubcd/boot/cpustres/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=12000 noapic ubcdcmd=stress cmdstress="--help"

The cleaned up menu (I hope I didn't make mistakes while pasting):

Thanks! I have fixed up cpu.cfg exactly as you indicated.
