pxelinux/bootmgr.exe

Hey folks,

I'm kinda stumped here - and not too great with Linux.

I'm trying to get WinPE to boot through pxelinux. The client successfully requests the pxeboot.n12 file and moves on to bootmgr.exe where it seems to get stuck.

Nov 22 19:02:04 hostname in.tftpd[12459]: RRQ from 10.12.7.87 file name /pxe/winpe/Boot/pxeboot.n12

Nov 22 19:02:04 hostname in.tftpd[12460]: RRQ from 10.12.7.87 filename bootmgr.exe

Nov 22 19:02:07 hostname in.tftpd[12464]: RRQ from 10.12.7.87 filename bootmgr.exe

Nov 22 19:02:10 hostname in.tftpd[12470]: RRQ from 10.12.7.87 filename bootmgr.exe

Nov 22 19:02:16 hostname in.tftpd[12480]: RRQ from 10.12.7.87 filename bootmgr.exe

Nov 22 19:02:24 hostname in.tftpd[12495]: RRQ from 10.12.7.87 filename bootmgr.exe

Here's the relevant part of the pxelinux default file:

label winpe

menu label WinPE

pxe winpe/Boot/pxeboot.n12

text help

WinPE

endtext

Eventually the client fails with an error saying that the TFTP download failed. Does anyone have any ideas?
