PXE menu doesn't appear after HW upgrade
vogl.l...@seznam.cz
we use ZfD 4.01 Imaging on our NW6.0. We apply last patches. All working
fine.
Now we buy new computers some without HDD.
I make new image and put it to this new stations.
Stations with new HDD I imaging successfuly.
When I install old disks to new machines and try boot from network via
PXE pxe menu doesn't apeear. Only shows this label :
Executing DNX: imenu.dnx with parameters "defmenu.dat"
after 30 sec PXE boot terminating.
When I disconnect old HDD, PXE menu start successfully.
I try format HDD, run ziswin.exe, etc.
Can you help me ?

Claer HDD working fine, only HDD with informations (previously installed
on another computer) has trouble.
I use new HDD 80GB and odl HDD 40GB seagate. New HDD without informations
are good, old HDD's not.
I mean that on old HDD is informations taha block boot process.

to not show the menu?

now boot from pxe starts.
In my opinion boot process has save data which block normally boot
operation.
Have you contact to developer of novell ? This is error ...

I would guess that this will happen again...

there is no official support coming anymore for zfd 4.x, also I have never
seen this problem up to know..

but the menu should show up if you keep ctrl-alt pressed during pxe boot...
do you mean that the computer is not booting to pxe?
otherwise I would check your wks imaging policy as it should disable the
pxe menu...
we are talking about the pxe menu right? not the IMG menu...
