Hi I have been trying to accomplish this feat for about a week now, and I alway seem to get a boot up error.

here is how I call winpe from my default file

label WinPE
menu label ^WinPE
menu default
kernel Boot/startrom.0
append Boot/bootmgr.exe

here is the content of my /tftpboot
pxelinux.0
boot.img.gz
mini.iso
pxelinux.cfg
vesamenu.c32
bootmgr.exe
netboot.tar.gz
tftpd.remap

/tftpboot/Boot

I have tried this on my suse tftpd/pxe server as well same result, as Ubuntu.

I am getting a similar error and haven’t got any joy yet. Have you managed to resolve this issue yet?

I did notice one thing on your configuration however that i would like to inquire about.

/tftpboot/tftpd.remap file

rg \\ /

Shouldn’t this be

/tftpboot/tftpd.remap file

gr \\ /

As per the Howto that i was following » PXE boot WinPE 2 (Vista) using Linux as the PXE Server](http://sysadminman.net/blog/2007/pxe-boot-winpe-2-vista-using-linux-as-the-pxe-server-8)
I’m not 100% upto speed on this stuff and at the moment am just trying to cobble together a system for my purposes that i will then tweak and learn about from there.

Hopefully together we can resolve our issues with this, i have found information on getting WinPE booting from a linux tftp server rather scarce.

Did you ever solve this problem? Could you post your solution if you did??

Thanks.

excuse me if i sound like i have no idea what i’m talking about…

because i had to google “WinPE” to learn what that is…and as i did i
decided the answer to all the questions in this thread should be asked
here:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx
or
http://forums.virtualbox.org/

or, do i not understand that the four of you are trying to boot a
Redmond product, inside a SUN product in an otherwise well working
Linux server? [the first post is from a Ubuntu machine: so, s/he might
also need http://ubuntuforums.org/, but i doubt the problem lies in
Ubuntu, openSUSE or Linux…that is, if VBox can run anything
Redmond it is set up correctly in Ubuntu/etc and the problem is in
WinPE…but, if it can run nothing Redmond then you probably have a
VBox set up problem…because if it IS running in Linux it IS running
in Linux, just not set up correctly…see how that works?]
