SCCM 1606, blackscreen winpe boot - harry9 - 2017-03-09 14:49

Hi guys!

I'm new to ipxe and feel a bit lost and looking for some help. I am getting stuck in a blackscreen after loading the SCCM 1606 boot image on client.

Using:
wimboot 2.5.2
winpe 10.0.10240.16384

ipxe-config:
#!ipxe

kernel http://deploy/wimboot/2.5.2/wimboot
initrd http://deploy/bootmgr.exe bootmgr.exe
initrd http://deploy/Boot/BCD BCD
initrd http://deploy/Boot/Fonts/segmono_boot.ttf segmono_boot.ttf
initrd http://deploy/Boot/Fonts/segoe_slboot.ttf segoe_slboot.ttf
initrd http://deploy/Boot/Fonts/wgl4_boot.ttf wgl4_boot.ttf
initrd http://deploy/Boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
initrd http://deploy/sources/boot.wim boot.wim
boot

Followed instructions: http://ipxe.org/wimboot and http://ipxe.org/howto/sccm

Tried to:
* Added drivers to boot image. (Running VM on a KVM-plattform.)
* Copied bootmgr.exe, as instructed http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=5948

When trying to boot against an .wim file created from MDT2012 everything boots up as expected.

Do you guys have any tip where I should start looking? Know you may need more information from me about this.

Thanks!

/Harry

Ok, we probably need to update that documentation, bootmgr is automatically extracted from the wim, so not needed, I would recommend removing the strike thru line above.

Also the same goes for drivers, so don't add drivers to the .wim other then possibly network drivers, and instead load other drivers via drvload.

One other thing is to add gui on the end of wimboot so it becomes

Code:

kernel http://deploy/wimboot/2.5.2/wimboot gui

There is several similar threads on the forum, I even think several is from the last month, that might be worth a look.

A bit fuzzy there, I have only added drivers for NIC.

Thanks! Getting an error message now.

"Your PC ran into a problem and nees to restart. You can restart.

If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: SYSTEM_THREAD-EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED"

Maybe a clue!

Sorry, but what should I look for in boot/BCD? Blush

Just bcdedit /store path_to_BCD /enum all
(you can post it here (or even better on http://pastebin.com )

Thanks for input and sorry for late replay, used BCDEDIT to change my BCD file that now looks like this. http://pastebin.com/HRcxqfzu

But still no luck with booting it up, still getting:
