Error windows boot manager installing windows 7

[yuliam]

Hello.
First of all I apologize for my English.
I used the scritp default.pxe in https://gist.github.com/2234639 and I get this error when installing the target with windows 7 DVD.


Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
File:\Boot\BCD
status: 0xc000000e


Can anyone help?
thank you very much.

Most likely the installed Windows doesn't have drivers for the network card in the critical device database in the registry. There is also a Windows Error Code Lookup tool available at PortableApps that might help you to get more information on the error code.

Http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe I followed this guide and use the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK).
When installing using x86 WinPE boots fine but if use amd64 produces a black screen.
Try adding amd64 drivers in Windows PE but had no success.
The black screen only occurs on amd64.
This is due to amd64 driver vga mode?


Oh I forgot. Congratulations on this exciting project.

If wimboot isn't working for you (new project, after all) you should try the http://ipxe.org/cmd/sanboot approach or the memdisk approach of loading WinPE. If that works then you've probably hit a bug in wimboot. I have examples of loading ISOs with both sanboot, memdisk and wimboot in this example: https://gist.github.com/2234639

@digitalis99:

Did you actually got this to work? Adding few Device-Id entries into CDDB did not solve my problem. Infact, lot of other forums also say that adding only CDDB entries does not solve this problem and hence this is still vastly unanswered.

Assuming, I must have entered wrong Device-ids in CDDB, I've few questions for you:
1. How did you install the driver for new NIC? Using PnPUtil? Because it neither creates Service entry in registry nor copies the .sys file in "drivers" dir. I did both of these things manually in addition to using PnPutil. Did you added Service entry inside registry and copied .sys file explicitely?
2. How to add entries in CDDB? I don't think there is any tool that does this . I just looked at the .INF file for various device-ids, added some of them in CDDB with usual values (i.e. ClassGUID, Service, DriverPackageId etc) manually. Is it the correct method?
3. Did you had any other components installed such as Microsoft hotfix(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976042), Microsoft iSCSI initiator boot version etc.
