Adding an option for initrdfile= boot argument to be ignored by wimboot worked just fine. They can add this patch, which is probably most sane, or syslinux could add the INITRDFILE configuration option instead of having to append the option for linux.c32 wimboot-2.4.0/src/cmdline.c @ Line ~107 } else if ( key == cmdline ) { /* I...

I am trying to load a WinPE boot image using wimboot, and failing. The 3 files appear to load successfully (the output "Encapsulating ... <filename>" is displayed for each file, taking a few minutes on the .wim file as expected based on the size), but then the workstation just reboots, and I don't see output after that. Has anyon...

As it happens, I released a new version of wimboot with support for UEFI yesterday. The documentation isn't up yet, but you can get the code from http://git.ipxe.org/release/wimboot and see the (not-yet-UEFIfied) docs at http://ipxe.org/wimboot. Michael

Hi. I have looked at PXElinux<http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX> to understand all this, but I'm very sorry I don't. I have managed to setup to boot from PXELinux, but I'm not an expert on how to setup a menu file for making a windows unattended installation. Could someone help me with that? Is there some kind of a forum for this or is it just by email?

Anyone have luck with pxechn32 and bootmgfw.efi? I'm getting the "Unable to retrieve first package" issue as reported by others.

I don't know the syslinux answer to this, but you can definitely do it via iPXE and wimboot: see http://ipxe.org/wimboot for instructions. Michael

...to boot from hdd. *label Windows 2008 R2* * kernel win2008R2/memdisk* * append iso bigraw initrd=win2008R2/W2k8R2PXE.img* Second idea is to use WinPE and then create a boot script to get the real media but so far I can't get the WinPE to load. *label WinPE* * com32 linux.c32 winpe/wimboot* * append wimboot* * initrdfile=winpe/bootmgr,winpe/bcd,winpe/boot.sdi,winpe/winpe.wim* This does nothing, it's probably to be expected as I'm trying to sidestep the fact that I'm supposed to updgrade to 5.01 acc. to this guide <http://www.howtogeek.com/162070/it-geek-how-to-...

Hi, is there a way to boot a Windows PE image over PXE in UEFI mode. If there is one, how do I write the entry in the syslinux.cfg file?

SCCM OSD Boot > com32 linux.c32 > append wimboot initrdfile=bootmgr.exe,BCD,boot.sdi,winpe.wim The UEFI version of wimboot does not expect to find its files wrapped up into an initrd; it uses the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL to retrieve them from the underlying media. It would be fairly simple to extend the UEFI version of wimboot to hand...
