Hello

I have a cobbler server on Linux host. I can download a windows 7 on a PC from that cobbler server : OK

Now I would like to build an iso image from that windows 7 and burn it on a DVD
That DVD should be sent somewhere else to be installed

I used cobbler and the buildiso command but when I want to use it from the DVD I burnt, I can select a profile but then I get an error message such as : "NULL PXENV ...." (nothing found on the web )

The isolinux.cfg file used is the one hereafter
I tried many things but unsuccessfully ....
the wdsnbp.0 is the one which cause that error message
I guess I am missing something but what ...as I am using the buildiso command

Did someone already faced the same kind of issue ? Is there a trick ?

Thanks

Wild guess to follow.

kernel /wdsnbp.0

May work or at least worth a try.

Thanks for the reply

I tried /wdsnbp.0 and also /isolinux/wdsnbp.0 as this exe is under /isolinux within the ISO file
but nothin happened as it did not find it.When it is executed I have the "NULL PXENV" error.

I am wondering, if wdsnbp.0 is the exe to be used in this context (DVD)
as I am not trying to download from an external server

What web page did you use to set up this? I read a number of them and they were a bit different.

I'll say also that I don't fully understand what you are trying to do. Making an ISO or building a windows deployment image would normally require the tools at Microsoft for making .wim files.

I would like to install a dedicated windows 7 OS from a bootable DVD

I am using cobbler. I did not use a specific web page

Step 1

When I use it from my cobbler server (Linux), everything is working fine : I can download an updated Windows 7 with dedicated drivers ect .... (the wim file has been updated)

Now step 2 , from a DVD
The buildiso script creates an .iso file from the ones on the cobbler server .It contains the files listed hereafter.
My understanding is the iso file contains all the files needed (including the winpe.wim file in the isolinux folder) but the isolinux.cfg is incorrect ( kernel wdsnbp.0 )

I tried to use the mkisofs command (Linux) directly to build the iso file a different way ... but unsuccessfully for the moment
