VM PXE Boot not working with Windows WDS

[hitman22]

Hello,

I have installed Proxmox 4.1 for test and I tried to boot a VM over PXE to install it and if the VM tries to boot from the PXE Server then I get the message TFTP Download smsboot\x64\pexebot.com and this loops and doesn't get further. See also Screenshot proxmox_bios.png. This boot attempt was tried with the Seabios Version.

I also tried it with the UEFI Mode and there I get error after downloading the wdsmgfw.efi BlInitalizeLibrary failed 0xc0000001. See also Screenshot proxmox_uefi.png.

I tried it with the Virtio NIC and also with the Intel E1000 NIC.

If I do this with a VMware VM then everything is working with the PXE Boot and I have no errors.

Are there any solution to this?

Thanks for help in advance.

Regards

I have found now a solution. I have addded machine: q35 to the VM Config file and then it was working. Hope this will help you also.

I tried to set machine: q35 but I am unable to load my LiteTouch.wim provided by my WDS on my Proxmox VM.

Had the same issue. Found a solution: https://rdr-it.com/en/troubleshooting/wds-boot-pxe-fix-the-0xc0000001-error/
Disable "variable window extension" in WDS properties tab "TFTP".
