Broadcom cards are notorious for being multi-function cards which have
problems loading in WinPE due to the limited PNP Driver Support. 

 

Get the correct driver from Broadcom, search for "Broadcom RIS"

Subject: RE: [MDT-OSD] WinPE NIC drivers

 

I know I can assign a boot image to a task sequence but WinPE isn't loading
all the way to where I can view the available task sequences.

 

When booting using PXE, I don't know how to choose which boot image it
chooses (x86 or x64).  So far it has chosen the x86 image every time.   So
it looks like I have a x64 driver in the x86 boot image and that must be
causing me the issue.  

 

This is the error that I am receiving in the smsts.log

The drivers included in WinPE depend on the version of WinPE you are using.
If the WinPE image is based on Windows 8, then you have the same NIC drivers
that are built in to Windows 8.  Same for WinPE based on Windows 7.   The
drivers included in the base OS are known as inbox drivers.  You might be
able to locate a list by searching for Windows 7 inbox drivers.

 

The  bitness of the driver has to match the bitness of WinPE.  

 

You tell your Task Sequence what WinPE boot disk to use, the OSD process
doesn't just choose what WinPE boot disk to use on its own.  If you are
using WinPE x86 (which I think all here would suggest) then you MUST load
x86 drivers for the NIC you are using and for the Mass Storage you need if
those drivers are not included in inbox drivers.  Drivers for those two
pieces of hardware are critical for a successful deployment.  If the drivers
for those two devices are not included in the WinPE image by default - you
must import them into WinPE.  It is not enough to just add the drivers to a
driver package in SCCM - you must also add those drivers to your WinPE
image.

 

You can use WinPE 64bit to deploy OSes, but WinPE 64bit can only deploy
64bit images.  WinPE 32bit can deploy both 32 and 64bit oses, which is why
nearly everyone uses 32bit WinPE images for deploying OSes.

Subject: [MDT-OSD] WinPE NIC drivers

 

I'm having issues where WinPE doesn't load on an older HP server using PXE.
I haven't been able to determine if it's a DHCP issue or a NIC driver not in
WinPE.  I am still working through this, but wanted to ask a few questions.

 

Here is the NIC driver that I need.  

 

1.        Is there a list of already supported drivers within WinPE?  I'm
running Config Manager 2012 R2 boot images ver 6.3.9600.16384.

 

2.       When adding a NIC driver to WinPE, do I need to add the x86 driver
to the x86 boot image or does it matter?   I have both boot images, but the
x86 seems to be the one used  and the NIC driver that I downloaded was for
Windows 2012 which is a 64 bit driver.

 

 

I'd appreciate if anyone could clear up this confusion on my end.

 

Thanks,

 

David
