kennedto Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 For all you Linux user, here is what I came up with for Vista install from Linux. I did this on Redhat 4.0.Steps1) 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/winpe5) 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 Vistare bootmgr\.exe pxe/pxelinux.cfg/\x/bootmgr.exerg \\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 architecturecd $TFTPROOT/pxe/pxelinux.cfgln -s ../winpe/x64 $HEX_IPYou may need to adjust the paths for your environment. 7) Add the following to the tftpd option in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp -remap /etc/tftpremap8) Set the next file similar to the followingfilename="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.exeI have included an asnwer file for your convenience. Use M4 to instantiate it.Good luck.Tomwinpepxe.tarpart.txtos_install.cmdwvista.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth.King Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Using the TFTP remapping trick allowed us to use with Solaris tftpd. Try this if you are seeing files not downloading from TFTP. Thanks for the tip Kennedto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebikon Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Excuse me if I'm asking very basic question but...I read your Reme file, the part below.Steps1) Install WAIK on a Windows system. OSPM build uses Vista.2) Copy OSPM build environment to c:\bld3) Start a WinPE 2.0 Shell (Start->All Prorams->Microsoft Windows AIK->Windpws PETools Command Prompt)On 1), what do you mean by "OSPM build uses Vista." ?
