similar to: Windows PE booting without chainloading ipxe

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

Gene, As it happened I started working on this again just as you mailed me. It appears that PXE-E99 may also be related to MTFTP part of the PXE spec. IBM also says it has something to do with jumbo frames. I tried setting PXE.mtcp-ip to 0.0.0.0 to disable it but still no joy. The bootfile size shows up as zero because that relates to "option boot-size" in dhcp and doesn't seem to

I'm looking for either a way of setting the root path - a Linux style "pivot_root" functionality, that would be perfect. Also a way of overriding prefixing the root path with a URL or some other acceptable syntax to designate to use a different TFTP server. That would really make PXELinux really versatile. Some people concerned about security may want a way of blocking that just

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

Attached are 4 patches against Syslinux 4.06 providing two new options for the linux.c32 ComBoot32 module. If we are shifting gears towards 4.10 or 5 any time soon, feel free to let me know and I'll attempt to apply the patches to those and to deal with any conflicts. You can merge these commits onto your 4.06 from my 'multi_initrd' branch at:

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.

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

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?

If you have the "handle unknown computers" off on your M$ Distribution point, then you can still use regular WDS which runs next as a PXE filter (DLL linked into WDS) to fire off

Gene, I found a document from IBM that explains why it didn't like Vendor-Class-Identifier option I was using "PXEClient" was causing EFI boot rooms to dummy spit, that's very useful, that combined with RTFMing the PXE specs 3.0-3.2 might solve my problem if I keep at it. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21247032 Even the PXELinux docs suggest encapsulating

I'm trying to boot pxelinux from a hyper-v generation 2 (efi 64), but I keep getting NBP Filename bootx64.efi NBP Filesize 0 bytes and of course it doesn't boot from the startup screen The thing is the tftpserver works fine with pxelinux.0 and bios mode, and I can use a unix tftp client to download bootx64.efi without any issues. http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-March/021825.html I
