Yes, you have to set a registry key in the .wim file used to start WinPE 2.0

Finally got this top work. The main trick for installing from Linux was to use tftp remaping
to map the tftp files from Windows paths to Unix paths.

I am also trying to install Windows 200 with WinPE 2.0. When I try to run winnt32.exe /syspart:C
it gives me a message saying
"Windows 2000 Setup cannot detect the version of Windows you are currently running. Setup cannot continue."
Can anyone tell me how I can get past this. SOunds like from the discussion above that this should work. I am using SP4
in my W2K image.

I am atempting to get WinPE Vista to run on an x64 box. I am loading the
WinPE image from a Redhat 4.0 server. The next file name is set to boot/wdsnbp.com as
specified in the WAIK "Deploy an Image by USING PXE" walk through.
The next-server parameter is also set correctlly.
When this file is downloaded via tftp, I see a message saying
WDSNBP Downloaded
TFTP download Failed
I do not see any messages in the /lvar/log/messages file that show an error.
Oct 17 11:15:54 certdev-ospm dhcpd: DHCPACK on 9.48.140.183 to 00:01:6c:85:a9:1e via eth0
Oct 17 16:15:54 certdev-ospm in.tftpd[4080]: RRQ from 9.48.140.183 filename boot/WDSNBP.COM
Oct 17 16:15:54 certdev-ospm in.tftpd[4080]: tftp: client does not accept options
Oct 17 16:15:54 certdev-ospm in.tftpd[4081]: RRQ from 9.48.140.183 filename boot/WDSNBP.COM
Looks like it finds WDSNBP.COM, but is having trouble loadingit.
Any clues as to how to fix this. Thanks.

OK, made some progress. Now, when the wdsnbp.com is downloaded, I get a message
stating that a tftp error occurred. I see no errors in the message log. tcpdump shows that all the bytes
of the wdsnbp.com are downloaded. This is on
Redhat 4.0 with the ISC 3.0 DHCP server. Anyone have any clues.

Anyone know how to start a Vista 64 bit WinPE image from a Linux server via PXE. I see that the the
WinPE image I created has some boot related files in Windows\Boot\PXE, but I am not usre which files I need.
I tried using pxeboot.n12 and bootmgr.exe. It looks for \boot.ini and \Boot\BCD and cannot fid them,then the Windows boot manager prints a failed start message.
An help with launching the WinPE boot.wim from PXE on a Linux server would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would like to start 64 bit Winpe for vista from a Linux based PXE server. I see that there are boot related files in the
Winows\Boot\PXE directory, however, I am not sure which ones I need.
What files are needed to launch a winpe image from PXE sever.
Are there instructions for this somewhere? The Vista docs describes starting your image from
CD and UFS, but not from PXE. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Install Vista From Linux Using WinPE2.0
in Windows PE
Posted
For all you Linux user, here is what I came up with for Vista install from
Linux. I did this on Redhat 4.0.
Steps
1) On a Windows machine, install the WAIK. I used a Vista box, but I think
W2K3 or XP might work.
2) From the attached winpepxe.tar, copy the bld directory to c:\
3) Follow the instructions in c:\bld\README.txt. This will allow you to build the boot kernels for
x86 and amd64 for the tftp directory.
4) Copy kernel to linux server
net use f: \\SERVER_IP\SHARE
copy_krnl_to_server.cmd x86
copy_krnl_to_server.cm amd64
Put these under you tftpd directory under pxe/winpe
5) Update your tftp-server to version 0.40 atleast. This fixes a bug tftp remapping,
6) copy the following to /etc/tftpremapp
# TFTPD remapping reuired to support Vista
re bootmgr\.exe pxe/pxelinux.cfg/\x/bootmgr.exe
rg \\boot\\ pxe/pxelinux.cfg/\x/
rg \\Boot\\ pxe/pxelinux.cfg/\x/
rg ^\\ pxe/pxelinux.cfg/\x/
rg \\ /
The \x represents the HEX IP value for the client.
Create a link to the proper architecture for the client.
for example for x64 architecture
cd $TFTPROOT/pxe/pxelinux.cfg
ln -s ../winpe/x64 $HEX_IP
You may need to adjust the paths for your environment.
7) Add the following to the tftpd option in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp -remap /etc/tftpremap
8) Set the next file similar to the following
filename="pxe/winpe/_ARCH_/pxeboot.n12";
9) When an install starts, the pxeboot.n12 will be downloaded and will ask for more files.
10) This will eventually will execute WinPE.wim, wich runs the startnet.cmd
11) Startnet.cmd runs create_net.vbs which does a
Wscript.Echo("net use y: \\" + myDHCP + "\answers\" + myIP)
where
myDHCP is taken from the ipconfig /all command
answer is my share
myIP is the IP of the client.
12) startnet.cmd will cd to y:\clientIP directory and run
os_install.cmd wich is attached. You will need to
modify it for your environment. Not this whole schemes works with
W2K3x64 and wXP64, so some of the items in os_install.cmd are not needed.
13) os_install.cmd eventually runs the Vista setup.exe
I have included an asnwer file for your convenience. Use M4 to instantiate it.
Good luck.
