Hi,
I have recently purchased four Lenovo X250 laptops. Out of the box they work fine.
But as soon as i want to deploy Windows 7 Pro on them its goes sour.
I'm using SCCM 2012 R2, so with WinPE v5.
I have downloaded the SCCM package from the Lenovo site: http://support.lenovo.com/nl/nl/downloads/ds102120
The i have downloaded the WinPE package: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds102312
Then i imported the SCCM drivers into SCCM via the wizard. Did the same for the WinPE drivers.
Created 2 separate driver packages to be sure there are no mix ups and to easily see which one i need for the boot image.
After that i saw that the name of the driver is not correct according the name of the network interface on the X250. The driver says its a i217-lm but the already installed Windows says its the i218-lm version.
I looked at the driver specifics and found that the i217-lm driver i have downloaded also works on the i218-lm.
So i hopefully boot a new laptop en hit F12 and select the network interface for booting. The WIM file is being download. So far so good.
But then it stops and reboots....
After a couple of new attemps i hit F8 to get a command prompt and see what the logfiles have to say. PxeGetPxeData failed with 0x80004005
Allright, no network connection, now that's weird. Because i added the driver that i downloaded from the Lenovo site.
When i try to initiate the driver in the command prompt with drvload e1d64x64.inf and then do an ipconfig /all i get an ip address and all.
I'm stuck at this for a couple of days now and i can't get my head around it.
It is very possible that 'm doing something wrong because its my first time troubleshooting SCCM 2012.
I hope someone can help me with this.
