Try boot PE from local hard disk first

maybe the problem is on the network.

[twalk482]

Did you create a WINNT.SIF before runing the OSCDIMG.EXE ?

Also copy these from the CD to your i:\WinPEx64\.\amd64 folder before creating image

\I386\BOOTFIX.BIN

\I386\NTDETECT.COM

\I386\SETUPLDR.BIN

I am using the Boot ISO to RAM drive as well, so I do some manual edits to the WINNT.SIF before building image as well.

I have my 64-bit PE all wrapped up in CMD file, I can post if you like.

I ran into that myself. never found the root cause, but the workaround I used was to put the source files to create the iso on the local drives. When I tried to build it over a mapped network drive, I had issues like yours.

thx for your replys, but the prob is not the image how i found out...

to boot x64 WinPE via PXE you have to add a line with the arch. to the winnt.sif...

for anybody who wants a complete howto to build and boot PE (both 32 & 64-bit) via PXE/RAMDISK let me know and i'll post it

cheers

I would like the HowTo for building WinPE for both 32 and 64 bit via PXE/RAM disk. I would be greatful. Thanks.

[kennedto]

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 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.
