Re: how to script for SLAM

Dear Shao,

 

Thanks!

 

Following your guide, I have completed the test.

 

But I could only boot winpe 2.0 with MEMDISK in VMWare virtual machine with 512M or 1G memory .

 

When I use Lenovo T400 notebook, it failed .

 

The winpe image could be downloaded and the initial boot is successful. The windows boot loader started and shows that winpe.wim is loaded. But after that the screen will show nothing. And I tried tftp and http protocol to download the image, the result is the same. 

 

Then, I try it with PXELINUX and MEMDISK, the booting is successful into PE environment every time.

 

When break the MEMDISK before the actual boot, there could be found something different:

With gpxe, the ramdisk is at 0x8f800000, but with pxelinux, the ramdisk is a little higher at 0x966ae000.

 

The machine has 4G memory and the winpe image size is about 112M.

 

Could please anyone give me some hints for it?

 

Regards!

 

Paul
