Gandalf's Win8.1u1 x86 PE

[sudburr]

I can boot and run every .ISO I use under FOG 1.2.0 svn2250, except the x86 version of Gandalf’s PE. ( [url]http://windowsmatters.com/tag/winpe/[/url] ).

After caching the .iso, the PE throws up an error ( status: 0xc0000017 ). Strangely the x64 version which is 50% larger, works without issue.

It’s been a busy summer, but I’m fairly certain I successfully tested this version of the x86 .iso on Fog 0.32 … or I might just be loony.

My 1.2.0 FOG PXE Boot Menu Configuration / Advanced Configuration Options entry:

BTW, the .iso files are stored in /var/www/html/iso . I’ve reproduced this condition on multiple machines with up to 8GB memory.

NVM. It appears I’m not the only one with issues with the latest Gandalf. At least I got to share my iPXE Advanced Boot Menu configuration.
