pxeboot.n12 working from DHCP PXE but not through iPXE - karthikeayan - 2014-06-23 14:31
Hi,
I am trying to boot pxeboot.n12 to get the WINPE.
Code:
DHCP Configuration:
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.0.0.15 10.0.0.50;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
filename "pxeboot.n12";
} else {
filename "undionly.kpxe";
}
next-server 10.0.0.5;
}This is working fine by fetching all the files including bootmgr.exe, BCD, winpe.wim.
The same thing when I try with iPXE, WINPE gets stuck at "Windows is loading files"
iPXE script:
Code:
#!ipxe
chain tftp://10.0.0.5/pxeboot.n12How to solve this?
Server: HP DL380 Gen8

The answer from Dracula in http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=7123&pid=9909#pid9909 should probably be helpful, in how he sets the ipv4 address of the wdsserver and does a careful chain after.
But to be honest I'm curious why you're not using wimboot to avoid the entire thing? Check out these links: http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe http://ipxe.org/wimboot http://ipxe.org/howto/sccm

Initially we tried wimboot only, but that didn't help, same problem as above, so we used this method. I will check the another post you specified. Also we are usnig Linux DHCP Server.
