This got me closer, but it got to "Encapsulating winpe.wim..." and never went through the rest of the way. Ultimately PXELINUX apparently timed out and the machine rebooted. Here is relative portion of pxelinux: LABEL SCCM OSD Boot MENU LABEL ^2. SCCM OSD Boot com32 linux.c32 append wimboot initrdfile=bootmgr.exe,BCD,boot.sdi,winpe.wim TEXT HELP

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 anyone successfully loaded WinPE using wimboot with

Hello, I'm trying to use a current Syslinux setup, that is working well for service linux based distros, to serve up recent Windows server installs. As I'm new here I'm reluctant to make any changes to the environment unless I've exhausted the current options. We are running Syslinux 3.71 on a Gentoo server and all the DHCP and tftpd are "working as they should". What

HPA, I believe that support to boot windows CD bootsectors was broken in 3.05. I have tested 2.13, 3.00, 3.02, 3.05, 3.06, 3.08, 3.11, and 3.20pre6. All versions >= 3.05 are broken. All versions <= 3.02 work fine with the same config. The error message I get is: ================================================================ IOSLINUX 3.20 3.20-pre6 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H.

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 ) { /* Ignore unknown initial

Anyone have luck with pxechn32 and bootmgfw.efi? I'm getting the "Unable to retrieve first package" issue as reported by others. Really, any advice for UEFI booting into a winpe environment off of pxelinux 6.03 would be beneficial.

I have an interest in booting Windows PE from PXELinux, and it seems that wimboot from ipxe project is the solution. http://ipxe.org/wimboot MENU LABEL Windows 8.1 Enterprise PE Rescue (wimboot) com32 linux.c32 /wimboot APPEND initrdfile=/windows/win81/bootmgr,/windows/win81/boot/bcd,/windows/win81/boot/boot.sdi,/windows/win81/sources/boot.wim The initrdfile= is supported in Syslinux from

I have tackled a major bug that affected sdi.c32 especially, but might at least theoretically have affected other formats as well. It *appears* to load the SDI image I managed to stitch together with XP Embedded Studio, but it doesn't actually boot neither on my system nor in simulation; then trying to upgrade it to SP2 caused it to corrupt itself, so I'm not all that keen to trying

I am having the darnedest of times trying to get my WinPE to work off the syslinux loader. I used to use isolinux, and my isolinux config would just invoke the etfsboot.com file which i had renamed to loader.bin, and everything would work just fine off a cd. But now I'm trying to transfer all of my cd functionality to thumbdrives. With Syslinux, i have my syslinux.cfg file calling loader.bin

Once again I feel horrible for asking something I feel is completely off topic for this group but everyone is so extremely helpful :( In my organization, we basically use Windows PE disks, to do our re-images, after some time and a lot of help from this group I was able to get a thumb drive to successfully work as a Windows PE bootloader, as well as some other utilities like wiping the hard

Hi mailing list, I'm working on PXE booting a BartPE (=Windows XP) system from a server running hpa tftpd. In the initialization phase the files are requested from the boot server by TFTP, later the transfer is switched to SMB. Most of the problems during this tftp phase can be solved with the remapping feature quite nicely like: *converting filenames into absolute paths *convert

Greetings, all... Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've set up a Linux PXE host with a menu choice to install Windows. This option boots a WinPE image, which then uses \\net use... to mount the appropriate ISO image. Works fine. However, I would like to pass the iso name and directory into WinPE from the menu via append= arguments. Thus, I can set up a separate menu option
