Hey everyone! I've been working on a home server that allows me to install operating systems over the network using PXE. I've got several Linux distributions running smoothly, but I'm hitting a snag with Windows 11. I can boot from the ISO without any issues, but when I try to install it over the network, I keep getting the "Install driver to show hardware" error. Does anyone know how to get past this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What PXE server are you using? Are you set up with WDS? You might need to update your boot image. Make sure to pull the latest boot.wim from the Windows 11 ISO and select that in the WDS properties. Don’t forget to restart the WDS service after making changes to apply them properly.
I'm using dnsmasq for DHCP and DNS, and I've already extracted the boot.wim from the official Microsoft ISO. Everything else loads fine, but I still end up on that error screen.
