remap file is mandatory
do you use remapfile?

what about the filecase?
for me the file 'BCD' is in uppercase (/boot/BCD)
(all other folder or file name is in lowercase)

[clivebuckwheat]

BCD is uppercase in a Boot folder.

I have tried many remapping techniques. Which one are you using?. My server is ubuntu if that makes a difference.

i use tftpd-hpa

my tftpd-hpa server configuration file (/etc/default/tftpd-hpa) contains this:
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot -m /var/lib/tftpboot/tftpd.remap -vvv"

my remap file (/var/lib/tftpboot/tftpd.remap) contains:
re ^bootmgr\.exe boot/bootmgr.exe
r ^\\Boot\\ boot/
r ^\\boot\\ boot/
rg \\ /

also my bootmgr.exe located in the folder /boot

also my boot.wim located in the folder /boot
i modded my 'BCD' using:
bcdedit.exe /set {default} osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\boot\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f}
bcdedit.exe /set {default} device ramdisk=[boot]\boot\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f}

Thank you for your post but I seem to be struggling. I always get a boot\BCD error on boot. My tftpd/pxe server is running on Ubuntu 9.10. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

here is what is in my /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

#Defaults for tftpd-hpa
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot -m /var/lib/tftpboot/tftpd.remap -vvv"

here is my /var/lib/tftpboot/tftpd.remap

re ^bootmgr\.exe boot/bootmgr.exe
r ^\\Boot\\ boot/
r ^\\boot\\ boot/
rg \\ /

here is what is in my /etc/inetd.conf

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /tftpboot

Here is what is in my dhcpd.conf file
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
filename "pxelinux.0";
next-server 192.168.1.105;

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~

if tftpd-hpa runs as a daemon
what is in the log file '/var/log/daemon.log' ?
i mean here you can see what files were requested by the tftp client

in my menu (in pxelinux.cfg/default) i have:
# Windows PE2 Loader
LABEL PE 2.x
MENU LABEL ^2 Windows PE 2.x Preinstalled Environment
KERNEL boot/pxeboot.0

my pxeboot.0 is the renamed pxeboot.n12
what is your startrom.0?
is it a renamed pxeboot.n12 from the original winpe.wim from the folder '\Windows\Boot\PXE'?

the path and the name of the .wim (in your case Boot/WinPE.wim) is hardcoded in the file 'BCD',
in the original 'BCD' the default is '\sources\boot.wim'
did you recreated or modified your 'BCD' according to your setup
using the 'bcdedit.exe /set' command?
if you didn't modded the original 'BCD' use /var/lib/tftpboot/sources/boot.wim


also i can see in your directory tree /Boot/wgl4_boot.ttf
in the original PE in the 'boot' folder there is a folder called 'fonts'
this 'boot/fonts' contains the .ttf files
should to follow this original folder structure '/boot/fonts/wgl4_boot.ttf'

if you leave the bootmgr.exe in its original location (/var/lib/tftpboot/bootmgr.exe)
then there is no need to indicate this in the remap file,
so in this case the line re ^bootmgr\.exe boot/bootmgr.exe not needed in the remap file

in my remap file using the lines
r ^\\Boot\\ boot/
r ^\\boot\\ boot/
i tried to indicate that i use folder name 'boot' in lowercase

[clivebuckwheat]

could you post your BCD Store creation script? I must be creating this wrong.

That is the only thing I can think of. I have everything right as far as I can tell.

Also I am trying to boot Winpe 3.0 not 2.0 If that makes any difference.

[dera]

Winpe 3.0 and 2.0 works the same way, no difference regarding the PXE boot

i have no special BCD store creation script
if i follow the Microsoft guide
after the first step:
copype.cmd x86 c:\winpe_x86
i get a working bcd file in the 'C:\winpe_x86\ISO\boot\' folder
this default 'bcd' points to '\sources\boot.wim'

so this default bcd works for me if i rename it from 'bcd' to 'BCD'
and place it in '/var/lib/tftpboot/boot/BCD'
and place my 'boot.wim' in '/var/lib/tftpboot/sources/boot.wim'

if i want to place the boot.wim in the '/boot' folder
on windows host i modify this existing 'C:\winpe_x86\ISO\boot\bcd' using this commands

bcdedit.exe /store C:\winpe_x86\ISO\boot\bcd /set {default} osdevice ramdisk=[boot]\boot\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f}bcdedit.exe /store C:\winpe_x86\ISO\boot\bcd /set {default} device ramdisk=[boot]\boot\boot.wim,{7619dcc8-fafe-11d9-b411-000476eba25f}bcdedit.exe /store C:\winpe_x86\ISO\boot\bcd /enum all

if you leave the bootmgr.exe in its original location (/var/lib/tftpboot/bootmgr.exe)
then there is no need to indicate this in the remap file,
so in this case the line re ^bootmgr\.exe boot/bootmgr.exe not needed in the remap file

I have to correct this
if my bootmgr.exe is in '/var/lib/tftpboot/bootmgr.exe' then this line still needed in my remap file (in '/var/lib/tftpboot/tftpd.remap'):
re ^bootmgr\.exe bootmgr.exe

[clivebuckwheat]

Thank you for all your responses by the way I do appreciate your help. With all the things I have tried. I am now getting..

The remap seems to be working at least here are the logs.

It cannot find /boot/boot.sdi

My boot folder is upper case could that be the issue?

yes

[clivebuckwheat]

Well

At least that fixed the problem with it stopping at the boot.sdi. Now I get it stopping at \hiberfil.sys remapped to /hiberfil.sys.

[dera]

did you try the original 'bcd'?
which comes from e.g. 'C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\boot\bcd'

i am almost sure that you try to create it yourself from scratch using the commands:
bcdedit /createstore
bcdedit /create {bootmgr}
bcdedit /create {ramdiskoptions}
etc.
and here is the mistake

[clivebuckwheat]

No I haven't tried the original bcd that comes with the AIK.

here are the commands I used to create my bcd entries

bcdedit /createstore \pxe\BCD
bcdedit /store \pxe\bcd /create {ramdiskoptions} /d "Ramdisk options"
bcdedit /store \pxe\bcd /set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisksdidevice boot
bcdedit /store \pxe\BCD /set {ramdiskoptions} ramdisksdipath \Boot\boot.sdi
bcdedit /store \pxe\BCD /create /d "WinPE Boot Image" /application osloader

bcdedit /store \pxe\BCD /set {My Guid} winpe Yes

bcdedit /store \pxe\BCD /create {bootmgr} /d "WinPE BootManager"

for me this above .cmd creates a working 'BCD' if i try to create on Windos XP host (i place bcdedit.exe came from Windows 7 in the folder C:\new)
strangely if i try to create on Windows 7 host this .cmd creates a non working 'BCD'

[dera]

i don't understand this BCD
i have made a newer try on windows 7 host
and now i can successfully create a working BCD with this .cmd

[clivebuckwheat]

On this line

for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('bcdedit.exe /store %path% /create /d "WinPE Boot Image" /application osloader') do set guid=%%a

I get

C:\new>for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('bcdedit.exe /store %path% /create /d "
ot Image" /application osloader') do set guid=%%a
%%a was unexpected at this time.

[dera]

run it as a batch

[Wonko the Sane]

run it as a batch

or remove any double percentage sign:

...
for /f "tokens=3" %%a in ('bcdedit.exe /store %path% /create /d "WinPE Boot Image" /application osloader') do set guid=%%a
...

Wonko

[clivebuckwheat]

ok the creation of the BCD worked.

But know I get a different boot error,

File: \Boot\BCD
Status 0xc000000f

Instead of all the remapping commands I get.

In my daemon/log

ftp: client does not accept options
Cannot bind to local IPv4 socket: Address already in use

what is your chmod level for your /tftpboot folder and all the folders that reside under it?

[dera]

folders 755
files 644

[dera]

for me in '/etc/inetd.conf'
the line starting with: tftp dgram udp wait root etc..
is commented

[clivebuckwheat]

It BOOTS

Now for the bad news I no longer have networking support in my wim file for ghost multicasting.?

What exactly did we turn off?

[dera]

then in '/etc/inetd.conf' uncomment the line and try:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot -m /var/lib/tftpboot/tftpd.remap

my tftp root is '/var/lib/tftpboot'
my remap file is '/var/lib/tftpboot/tftpd.remap'

maybe in '/etc/default/tftpd-hpa' can use
RUN_DAEMON="no"
