Hi,

I'm having some difficulty getting WinPE to boot over PXE. My TFTP server is on Linux, and I am using PXELINUX. I'm using the WinPE from the Windows 7 AIK, and I don't know what effect that has.

pxeboot.0 and bootmgr.exe load fine. bootmgr.exe then proceeds to get the boot font fine. It's what happens next that's odd. My TFTP server gets a request for "\\\n" (that is a backslash followed by a newline), which fails, then two more requests for the font, which both succeed, then I get the dreaded 0xc000000f error. There's no other traffic coming or going from the box.

Does anyone know what bootmgr.exe is trying to get with that odd request? Any other idea on how I can get this WinPE booting?

Cheers,

Eric

Okay, I figured out what it's looking for in that request, it's looking for "\Boot\BCD" A symlink has worked around that problem, but I don't like that, it's a bit of a kludge. Any idea what's causing it so I can fix it?
