I'm currently using Windows 7 Professional, with KMS activation method (that way, i have an activated windows without any loader) I don't need a PXE mod, since my bios doesn't boot from network. Thank you for (all of) your help, regards.
Weird...it appears that your BIOS does have the Realtek PXE ROM and has a "Boot from LAN" in its string table. Anyway...if you're happy with the KMS activation method, then never mind.
I tought that i have to set the boot from lan option at the boot priority screen (i cannot find a setting to boot from lan there). But you are right, my bios have that setting, but on a separate page. So may i ask you to do that mod for me? Here are the details of my network card: Realtek PCI GBE Family Controller PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8169&SUBSYS_109417C0&REV_10 PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8169&SUBSYS_109417C0 PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8169&CC_020000 PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8169&CC_0200 Thanks in advance!
It's right. The PXE is located at OPROM0.ROM. Code: Offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 00000040 50 43 49 52 EC 10 69 81 00 00 18 00 00 02 00 00 PCIRì.i......... tqhoang, an additional hint, you easily can find it by browsing through the OPROM modules and have a look for PXE and PCIR string. You usually don't need the IDs from the requester. I would use andy's tool to replace the OPROM0.ROM after you have adjusted the Ids after the PCIR string of wind SLIC. Andy's tool will remain the offset and pads the excess bytes. I haven't used wind SLIC before, but I have used Zhaoliang's code. At some cases the code doesn't override the RSDT IDs. The method is save anyway, since you simply can reset the boot priority from PXE from first position (boot from LAN) to something else....
Yen - Thanks for the tips...I never knew looking at the PCI ROM was that easy. mkaracsony - I sent you a link for a BIOS to test. Make sure you enable the NIC/LAN Boot ROM and then make sure it is first on your boot device menu.
You did it right. It's suitable to modify the RSDT (XSDT) OEMIDs additionally, since it is split here you have to tick the option to replace the original ID. The only thing you might have saved is the insertion of the acpi SLIC module (since it doesn't work). Therefore you would have to tick 'ask prior to each modification', when the tool asks : "Insert SLIC module?" just hit no. If you did that then forget about my info. Well done! Enjoy your mod, nice to know wind slic is a good alternative way.
