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.

In PXELinux 4.06 (the vanilla version, not gpxelinux.0), I'm trying to use pxechn.c32 to call iPXE (undionly) with option 67 set to call an iPXE script. The relevant portion of my PXELinux config looks like this: LABEL MDT MENU LABEL ^B - MDT 2012 SP1 com32 pxechn.c32 APPEND undionly.kpxe -o 67.s=ipxe/mdt.ipxe However iPXE doesn't seem to get the option correctly, it goes into

As it happens, I released a new version of wimboot with support for UEFI yesterday. The

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

Patrick, Even more confusing. I downloaded the 6.03 syslinux tar and extracted all the files. It shows 3 pxechn versions, [root at localhost_PXENG ~]# cd /tmp/syslinux-6.03 [root at localhost_PXENG syslinux-6.03]# find . -name pxechn.c32 ./efi32/com32/modules/pxechn.c32 ./efi64/com32/modules/pxechn.c32 ./bios/com32/modules/pxechn.c32 Is it possible to pxechn to a BIOS pxelinux.0?

I'm currently using Microsoft DHCP to enable PXE booting. I've set options 66 and 67 for the relevant scopes and it's all fine and dandy. However, UEFI machines won't initiate PXE boot, they don't seem to recognize the options. Is there another setting that need to be set? And how to I filter UEFI clients so I set option 67 to the right value (lpxelinux.efi)? -- Alexandre

Hi, I have more than one pxe server in my network and I need to chain from one to the other. I used to do that with pxechain.com from old versions of syslinux. With the new version (6.02) I'm trying to achieve this with pxechn.c32. I copied the files ldlinux.c32, libcom32.c32, libutil.c32, pxechn.c32, pxelinux.0 and vesamenu.c32 to the tftp's root in both servers and add this in the menu:
