I have searched hi and lo for days, trying to find someone with insight as to
how to go about booting Vista -or- PE v2.0 via PXE through the PXELINUX.0 boot-loader. Regardless of what I try with PXELINUX, when selecting the KERNEL as PXEBOOT.COM or .0, I get a Number 1 (1) at the lower left of the screen & the systems lock up. Posters have been very quick to provide detailed solutions and then throw it out the window (no pun intended) by changing the PXE boot file to PXEBOOT.0 or PXEBOOT.COM. Does anyone but me realize this is BYPASSING PXELINUX? We currently have a lab with over 1,300 systems that we image using PXELINUX. I cannot change the TFTP server to point to PXEBOOT.COM as this will screw up our entire existing functionality. Is there a way to use PXELINUX and/or a 'Menu System' we can invoke, post PXEBoot.com that would enable me to create menus AND boot? |

Hi,
on your TFTP server, copy pxeboot.n12 to pxeboot.0 . Then use Boot/pxeboot.0 as your kernel statement. The lines I used with pxelinux and vesamenu: label winpe MENU LABEL ^Windows PE kernel Boot/pxeboot.0 "LANDeskLabRat" wrote: [..] |

Did you ever get this sorted out. I'm pretty much in the same position,
with an existing Linux PXE server and need to add Server 2008. Server 2003 is already working. I havn't finished this walk through yet, but it looks promising: http://sysadminman.net/blog/archives/8 |
