Hello,

I have a running tftp server (tftpd-hpa) with it´s directory /srv/tftp

Currently i have two Live-OS (Debian and Ubuntu) as well as installers for Slackware 14.1, Debian and Ubuntu and several other stuff (Hard Disk Diagnostic tools, Live-Antivirus-Tools etc..) running and all working.

I wanted to boot Windows PE (created from Windows 7- WAIK).

I have these files in /srv/tftp/Boot

I have a symlink for bootmgr.exe in /srv/tftp which points to /srv/tftp/Boot/bootmgr.exe
I also have a symlink in /srv/tftp for boot which points to Boot (just in case)

Here is my /etc/default/tftpd-hpa file:

#Defaults for tftpd-hpa
RUN_DAEMON="no"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure -m /etc/tftp_remap.conf -v"
TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/srv/tftp/"
TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"

and my /etc/tftp_remap.conf file:

rg \\ /

and finally here is what i have added to /srv/tftp/pexlinux.cfg/default

label 6
menu label ^6. Windows PE zur Installation von Windows starten
kernel Boot/pxeboot.0
text help
Mit Hilfe von Windows PE Windows installieren
endtext

But when pressing either Button 6 or go to the menu entry and pressing enter nothing happens.

If i check /var/log/syslog i get only this (every time is press enter on the client)

Any help/hint would be highly appreciated

Thanks,

Found the solotion myself.

For some reason an entry in my dhcpd.conf file caused the trouble, i had a line

host tftp just below the line with next server and pxelinux.0

I commented out the line with host tftp and everything works now :-)
