Hello,
I've attempted to run Windows 8.1 installation in diskless test computer which did fail.
Installation progress:
1. PXE requests DHCP server
2. DHCP server replies with undionly.kpxe
3. iPXE takes control of boot process
4. iPXE calls for http://server/winpe/boot.ipxe script
5. boot.ipxe script sets username/password
6. boot.ipxe sanhook iSCSI driver as 0x80
7. boot.ipxe initiates wimboot
8. computer boots WinPE
9. from WinPE a samba drive mounted as I:
10. cd win10/amd64
11. setup
12. standard Windows 8.1 installation
13. installation reaches "updates" stage
13. installation gives warning that it detected an error and can not continue
iPXE boot.ipxe script
Does anybody had a better luck with Windows 8.1 installation in similar setup?
How far did your installation progressed?
