Failed to load COM32 file mboot.c32?

[romatlo]

Hello folks,

I am creating a PXE unattended installation method for vSphere 5.5 using syslinux 5.01 (and 6.03).

I've copied over the following files to my c:\pxeboot directory.

- mboot.c32

- pxelinux.0

- libutil.c32

- ldlinux.c32

I also created a default configuration file in c:\pxeboot\pxelinx.cfg directory.

It PXE boots and menu is displayed but show error message: Failed to load COM32 file mboot.c32.

Anyone have suggestions to resolve this?

Thanks,

romatlo

No response yet.  Will close, start over, and try again if nothing heard over the weekend.

I resolved this by using SYSLINUX 3.86 and only copying the pxelinux.0 from it.

More details in my blog write up.
