Syslinux - Nov 2007 - (no subject)

Hi,

I have set up a pxelinux tftp boot server. It works great and is rock
solid. I boot all management tools and OS installs from it. I have run
in to a problem with Microsoft though... As corporations are slowly
starting to adopt Vista, there are more limited ways available to deploy
the OS. It is now necessary to install it from PE. I have found no way
to successfully boot PE over PXE using pxelinux. Is there anyone out
there that has got that to work? 

I have done everything suggested here:

Yes. If you are using Windows AIK, open the Users' Guide and search for
"Walkthrough: Deploy an Image by using PXE" (you'll have to adapt
it to
PXELINUX).

Or check this thread out: http://www.itproffs.se/forumv2/tm.aspx?m=82540
(it's in swedish, but all commands are there).
