Can't boot a VM from Windows Deployment Service (WDS)

hello, I have WDS running on a VM. When I try to boot a new (and clean .... without any OS) VM with PXE against the WDS pressing F12 -> l (LAN) -> F12, I get a "Guru Meditation" error that I have never seen before.

I have the logs and screenshots (see attachments).

How can I get the new VM to boot against WDS? Is this a bug o just a wrong configuration?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad/poor english.


Note:
Boot 2 screenshot is very similar, only change the 3th parameter to: 0xFFFFF800B61B9A80

The boot package of WDS is based on Windows 2012 / 8.1 64bit. So you have to set the OS type accordingly for the installation phase.

It's probably a waste of time trying to run that OS on this host. It's going to need way more than 512MB, and the host only has 750MB available.

Excellent!! After the changes in the configuration it works as expected :)

Thanks again.
