Hi,
Thank you so much for this tool.
I want to know if this tool supports IA32 PXE client -- meaning, I have IA32 (32-bit Intel CPU) machines/laptops that need to be PXE-booted to discover/test hardware or install OS.
So, first I tried using Linux version of iVentoy. The client hung after receiving ipxe.bios.0 boot file. I thought, Linux version (64-bit) might be sending 64-bit boot file; so, it makes sense why it would not work. (Note: 64-bit PXE/CPU client booted fine.)
Then, I tried Windows 32-bit iVentoy - thinking that it would send 32-bit ipxe.bio.0. But I encountered the same problem.
So, I suspect that iVentoy only supports 64-bit PXE clients - meaning, irrespective which version of iVentoy software you use (IA32 or x64), ipxe.bios.0 is 64-bit code.
Can you please confirm? If I am correct, I request to support 32-bit PXE client from all iVentoy versions -- especially Linux.
Thank you again.
