HaroldG Posted April 26, 2012 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 I noticed that many people are having problems with the Intel 82578LM and PXE booting. Here is my scenario: I have injected the drivers into the x86 boot image and created a Task Sequence CD. I can succesfully connect to the network with the CD. However when I pxe boot using the same x86 boot image, the system responds no DHCP offers and boots into Windows. Can some one lead me down the Golden Path to enlightenment?

Elemanzer Posted April 27, 2012 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 Are you using the x86 nic drivers? Are you sure it's pulling the x86 boot image? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaroldG Posted April 27, 2012 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 The only task I have assigned to All systems and Unknown computers is using the Win x86 PE boot image. I was able to build a Task Sequence CD with the Win PE x86 boot image (from above), have the system load the drivers and connect to the network. However this is not really acceptable when you have 100 PC's in different locations and no on-site IT staff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elemanzer Posted April 27, 2012 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 Doesn't matter what task you have assigned, it's probably picking the x64 boot image. It should tall you when it's loading into PE something like boot\smsimage\abc00001\abc0001.wim Make sure you look at what the x86 is named.

HaroldG Posted April 27, 2012 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 It's not loading into PE. It keeps telling me no DHCP offers, exits and loads Windows. But i will inject the drives into the x64 boot image and try Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaroldG Posted April 27, 2012 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 The nic is a typo it should read 82579LM not 82578LM. It is only happening with HP Compaq Pro 6200 systems. Any other HP or Dell works fine booting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanH Posted April 30, 2012 Report post Posted April 30, 2012 On ourHP 8200, I had to inject the drivers into 64 bit boot file, took a while to get the right pxe drivers though, hp have a pxe driver pack now but I got them from sp54806, for our varied estate we have 82579LM, and 82567LM-3 drivers added to both 86/64 bit boot images Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
