Wimboot WinPE

[cwtaylor]

Hi All,

In our network currently we have gPXE on a dhcp serve. We have been looking at moving our tftp server and upgrading to iPXE.

I have been testing this on virtualbox by chainloading from gPXE to iPXE and it has all been going fine.

I finally went to test this on a physical machine and it halts after "Entering bootmgr.exe with parapeters at 0x2a520".

I have now tried 3 physical machines and they all show the same. The linux distros we have are fully working however. I did try booting iPXE off a USB and this worked with both Windows and Linux.

This is the .ipxe script I am using for the PE.

#!ipxe

kernel wimboot gui
initrd boot/BCD BCD
initrd boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi
initrd sources/boot.wim boot.wim
boot

I am hoping that this is just a gPXE issue and if we tell our DHCP servers to use iPXE straight it should work OK. Just wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions.
