Hello all !

First of all, thanks for your amazing work !
Thanks *a lot* !

I've managed to fix a lot of (my) mistakes so far, but here I'm stuck :
http://ping.windowsdream.com/winner/doc/using2.html
on step #12, it keeps asking me for my SMB share.
I filled in everything correctly several times, remotely accessed successfully to my OUTPUT share from another XP laptop. It just goes through steps #12 to 17 on and on...

Thanks in advance :-)

On what OS is your share hosted on?

by **Shug Ninx** » Fri Apr 11, 2008 11:05 pm

uh... indeed !

my server is WinXP Pro + tftp as described here :
http://ping.windowsdream.com/winner/doc/pxe.html

The client is a laptop with no other option than PXE for windows install.

Thanks again.

The best I can suggest for now then is to boot the PING project and then get a shell to try the SAMBA mount manually. It could shed some light on this issue. If you can get WINNER to goto a command prompt that would be better, but I do not remember if you can. There are steps in the PING How-To as to getting the prompt and to mount a share. Let me know how it goes.

Can I use winner's terminal to do it ?
What commands should I try ?

Thanks in advance !

I must be dumb but I cannot find any command-line commands to manually connect to the network share in the PING howto...

Well, starting with ifconfig, it only lists l0...
ifconfig /dev/eth0 up returns "no such devices".

it seems I'll need to add my network card driver (Marvell Yukon 88E8053 PCI-E)...
can anyone help with this issue ?

Try the PING kernel file with the intird.gz from WINNER... That may work and PING is much more up to date.

Thx !

Now I'm posting into the DVD generator forum, as my install stucks on a BSOD during install.

When murphy's out, hide your computers :lol:

Glad that everthing is working now. I hope that WINNER meets your needs.

For this particular issue, WINNER saved my life, as the target computer is a hardened laptop (Panasonic ToughBook) without CDROM drive.

But hopefully (or shamefully), I don't need PXE install every day. I wish I knew how to use PXE to boot any of my bootable-CD based test utils though, such as Ultimate Boot CD, but I guess WINNER isn't intended for that purpose.

Thanks again !
