OSD Boot Image issues

[arthur]

Hi,

 

I hope someone can help me out with their past experiences with SCCM Boot images.

 

I created a custom boot image, using MDT 2010, which has network drivers included for about 15 models. All this while it has been working perfectly.

I have latelty received a set of new models from Lenovo, & since then i have added network drivers for these new models in the same boot image.

All of the new models pickup the old boot image & everyting works well. I am able to deploy the windows 7 OS onto them.

The issue is after adding network support of these new models in my boot image, my previous models (approximately 5 models ) do not work, they boot up using the same boot image, but when I hit "ipconfig" using the F8 key, i donot get any ip address & the system reboots.

To resolve this issue, I created a new boot image containing network drivers of only the new models i have received from Lenovo & distruibuted it to PXE DP, but i am having problems getting the new models to boot to this second boot image.

 

Although in the Task sequence properties, i have selected the second boot image, yet when i go for PXE boot, my new models still pickup the old boot image, which does not support them.

I am not getting these new models to boot from the second boot image that has its drivers, can anyone helpout please.

 

Cant we use different boot images for different task sequences ? Is Multiple Boot image use supported by SCCM 2007 ?

I am using SCCM 2007 R3.

 

Thanks for your time.

Not sure but i think you have to use different advertisements/collections if you want to use different boot images and not advertising both TS at the same time to the computer.

 

Try to fix your boot image instead search the .inf files to see if the same vendor id is in different drivers. Try to use as few drivers as possible. Add and remove drivers until you get it working.

Daniz,

 

I created a new Boot image, & tried to reduce the drivers imported. I distributed it to the PXE share & all my models, both older ones & the new one's boot alright with it.

 

Thanks for your help.
