Hello,
funny thing.
Try go get esxi5 install with pxe and Kickstart running in a not "normaly" Folderstructur.
Have a Windows2008R2 x64 Server with DHCP, IIS and TFTP64.
If i using the "default" Structure of folders for pxe, means D:\pxeboot with all the stuff inside, TFTP basic Folder calls D:\pxeboot and in DHCP the "Scope Options", 067 Bootfile Name is pxelinux.0 every thing is working fine (try to install esxi4, esxi5 and memtest).
Now i get told for production i'am not able to use the "default" structure, i have to make a folder in D:\PXEBOOT like D:\PXEBOOT\vmware and in there a have to put all my stuff inside.
No problem i thought, but.....
So in my lab i try and i get crazy.
Now i just changed in DHCP the Scope Option to /vmware/pxelinux.0 and made the folder vmware under D:\PXEBOOT with all the stuff from D:\PXEBOOT before.
Try PXE Boot, memtest still working, try PXE Boot Install esxi4 every thing is still working, trying PXE Boot esxi5 and now Error:
Configuration error while parsing /boot.cfg
Fatal error: 15 (not found)
in the TFTP Log:
is see that the read requset for file </vmware/esxi5/mboot.c32> ist fine, next step is to read the </vmware//esxi5/boot.cfg> and here is the problem cause the //.
In the Logfile comes now Error EACCESS on file vmware\\esxi5\boot.cfg. Ext error The directory name is invalid.
From where are this // are comming?? If i play around using the mboot.c32 from esxi4 the // Error a not comming (but a lot of other errors).
So i tried Syslinux 3.86 and 4.04 but still the same.
Anyone seen this error or have any ideas?
Regards
Andy
