architecture getting confused - wds chainloading

I would recommend using http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe instead of the stock TFTP WDS setup for booting Windows PE, it is much faster.

Hi There,

Thanks for taking a look at this. Yeah it is a bit odd that wds only returns x86 boot images. I can post up the tftp logs if there is any interest on the forums, but quite happy to have a chat on irc.

I had conetmplated a bit of a cumbersome workaround. do an initial pxelinux with chooser for wds or everything-else. this will allow wds to carry on as usual. everything-else can then chain undionly.kpxe and based on the dhcp user class, return another pxelinux with the non-wds boot images.

Thanks for the winpe link - to be fair wds is not doing an awful lot (pretty much only tftp and booting up wim images) so this may be just the ticket!
