similar to: PXE booting WinPE with UEFI architecture

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

With the BIOS architecture, I was used to boot WinPE from PXELINUX. I used 4 different ways: 1- Calling windows' native PXE loader directly from the config file with a 'kernel' line. 2- Calling windows' native PXE loader with pxechn.c32. 3- Loading an ISO with memdisk 4- iPXE project's wimboot, which relies on memdisk Methods 1 and 2 are slow because loading the bulk of the

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

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

I have set up a RHEL 5.7 PXE server and trying to get a WinPE ISO to work. Currently PXE seems to handle the image properly but the process stops after Loading boot sector... booting...

Hello all, I'm booting for 1 year WinPE 2.0 and floppy disk images via PXE (pxelinux) and this works very well. I also want my floppy disk images and WinPE 2.0 on a bootable USB Stick. So i format my usb stick with fat16 and use Syslinux to make it bootable. I can now boot from stick and execute the floppy disk images. This works very well. But how can i add WinPE 2.0 booting support ? I

Hi The setup, as in the subject, is supposed to boot a Winpe to install xp to a clean PC. I use the Ramdisk method (ie PXELinux pases the setup on to the M$ pxe loader and and boots WinPE) It works perfectly with evry other chipset, but Nvidias NForce 4. (tested 15 different) With NF4 it loads up well but the M$ PnP routine detects the Network management bus wrong (nvidia specific approach to

Thus the rub: The exe seems to have disappeared from winbin as well. It's there, but downloads as a zero-byte file. > Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2014 22:40:21 +0200 > From: herbszt at gmx.de > To: sha0.miller at gmail.com > CC: syslinux at zytor.com; jml9904 at hotmail.com > Subject: Re: [syslinux] mdiskchk and WinPE > > Shao Miller wrote: > > On 7/6/2014 01:55, Ady wrote:
