[SOLVED] PXELinux + Wimboot + MS-RIS -> BUG?

[KingBonecrusher]

Hi!

I think there is a "BUG" in wimboot. Iam using the same files of pxelinux on a windows based server and on an linux based server. On the linux system wimboot loads everything without any problem, on the windows system it fails with missing bootmgr.exe. After a lot of troubleshooting it could only be the slash and blackslash problem.

Code:

LABEL wimbootpe
menu label WindowsPE
    COM32  pxelinux.cfg\modules\linux.c32
    APPEND pxelinux.cfg\images\loader\wimboot initrdfile=pxelinux.cfg\images\winpe\bootmgr,pxelinux.cfg\images\winpe\bcd,pxeli​nux.cfg\images\winpe\boot.sdi,pxelinux.cfg\images\winpe\boot.wim

This fails to boot on the windows system with missing "bootmgr.exe"! But all files are loaded into memory correctly.

Code:

LABEL wimbootpe
menu label WindowsPE
    COM32  pxelinux.cfg/modules/linux.c32
    APPEND pxelinux.cfg/images/loader/wimboot initrdfile=pxelinux.cfg/images/winpe/bootmgr,pxelinux.cfg/images/winpe/bcd,pxelinux.cfg/images/winpe/boot.sdi,pxelinux.cfg/images/winpe/boot.wim

Same code with slashes works on the linux system.

I have done a cpio by hand with all necessary files and voila it boots also on the Windows Server. So i think there is a problem with parsing "\"
