newbie assistance.
Just started to use iPXE with WIMBOOT and I am having a bit of difficulty and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Currently the PXE service boots with syslinux 6 on Ubuntu 12.10.
When I use the following: LABEL wimbootpe menu label ^2 Wimboot com32 linux.c32 append wimboot initrd=bootmgr,Boot/boot.wim I get the following BAD CPIO magic, FAtalL Could not extract initrd files Press a key to reboot. I have been able to use ipxe.lkrn to successfylly boot a WIM file with with the following: LABEL iPXE menu label iPXE #kernel ipxe.lkrn kernel ipxe.lkrn dhcp && chain http://192.168.1.2/boot.ipxe However this speed result are not what I was expecting, it takes about 1 minute to download the wim file and boot. From what I read I though this was have accord in lest the 5 sec. Also. I have placed all the files nessarry in the root directory of the web server like so #!ipxe kernel http://192.168.1.2:80/wimboot initrd http://192.168.1.2:80/bootmgr bootmgr initrd http://192.168.1.2:80/bootmgr.exe bootmgr.exe initrd http://192.168.1.2:80/boot/bcd BCD initrd http://192.168.1.2:80/boot/boot.sdi boot.sdi initrd http://192.168.1.2:80/sources/boot.wim boot.wim boot however bootmgr did not extract bootmgr.exe, I had to manually place it in the directory. Otherwise the system would hang. Please let me know what I a doing wrong. Thank you |

If you type "ifstat" from the iPXE command line, it should show you which driver is in use for your NIC. Michael |

RE: newbie assistance.
It was indeed a typo. This seems to be the supported card we're talking about: pci,8086,10ea,"Intel Corporation","82577LM Gigabit Network Connection",intel,82577lm,82577LM,src/drivers/net/intel.c,no
I think this might be the pxelinux 6.x / ipxe issue we've seen before. Does things work if you downgrade to pxelinux 5.x, 4.x or 3.86? |
