Re: gPXE and Symantec Ghost

Hi Shao,

Here is what I got after executing those commands:

gPXE> kernel \tftpboot\pcdos.sys
\tftpboot\pcdos.sys... Not an executable image (0x2e008001)
could not fetch \tftpboot\pcdos.sys: Not an executable image (0x2e008001)

gPXE> imgstat
\tftpboot\pcdos.sys 2648064 bytes ""

I realize that the PXE menu loader is actually executed before this image. So I am not sure how it all works internally but the PXE menu does come up and allow me to select the .sys image when running gPXE normally. I know this .sys image is good since it works with ROM PXE enabled NICs.

Hello again Wayne,

Yes, there is more that you can try.  Get a gPXE Control-B CLI
(Command-Line Interface) and do:

gPXE> dhcp net0
blahblah.. ok

gPXE> kernel ${filename}
blahblah.. ok

gPXE> imgstat

and e-mail the results of that 'imgstat' command back to us.  It should
be your Ghost .sys file.  I'll play around a bit over here, too, since
this has been something on the back-burner for me for a while.
