<div style="FONT:10pt arial"><b>Subject:</b> [ipxe-devel] Using iPXE to
chain load Windows PE shows blank screenin Dell notebook</div>
<div><br></div>Hi,<br><br>I have both PC and Dell notebook in my LAN
environment. Both PC and Dell notebook supports PXE boot.<br><br>I
attempt to chain boot into Windows PE with SanBoot iscsi target:<br><br>1.
DHCP
<div>2. undionly.kpxe
<div>3. Press Ctrl-B to iPXE command line</div>
<div>4. set keep-san 1 </div>
<div>5. set skip-san-boot 1</div>
<div>6. sanboot iscsi-target</div>
<div>7. chain tftp://<a href="http://192.168.0.1/windows.pe/pxeboot.0" target="_blank">192.168.0.1/windows.pe/pxeboot.0</a></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Boot PC using above steps does boot into Windows PE environment with
iscsi target available for Windows setup.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>However, Dell notebook using same steps boot the Windows PE too, but
it doesn't show the GUI screen as what PC does. I have tried 2 dell
notebook and both giving same result. My Windows PE image will show
a cmd windows after loading the Windows PE. The dell notebook
doesn't show anything and screen just blank. I try to type exit and
press enter, the notebook will reboot. I feel it did boot into
Windows PE but doesn't show the GUI screen.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I then try another steps using PXE Linux:</div>
<div><br>1. DHCP
<div>2. pxelinux.0</div>
<div>3. show menu "pxelinux.cfg/default"</div>
<div>4. kernel <a href="http://windows.pe/pxeboot.0" target="_blank">windows.pe/pxeboot.0</a></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Both PC and Dell notebooks boot into Windows PE GUI environment and I
can see the GUI screen for notebook as well. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Both scenarios using same WinPE image. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>What could cause the notebook using iPXE to chain load WinPE shows
blank after booting?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Thank you.</div>
