Boot loader resulting in 0xc0000017 error - no SCCM logs to refer to

I have had SCCM OSD working for over a year now.

Recently, we received some new models from Dell, so I added drivers into SCCM as I have done in the past.  With it, came new drivers for WinPE, which I also updated.

Since then, some sites (not all) have been seeing the following:

  • boot to WinPE (initial):  No problem
  • select task sequence:  No problem
  • download initial WinPE wim:  No problem
  • reboot to downloaded WinPE wim:  stops on boot machine with error 0xc000017 suggesting that hardware has changed and to reboot and try again.

This happens on any system in the affected offices.  As it happens outside of WinPE or Windows, there are no logs to refer to that I am aware of to help diagnose this.

The odd thing is that it does not happen in other locations... just 2 so far that I am aware of.

As it happened after a driver update to the boot image, I recreated the boot-image using previous driver set and assigned the newly created boot image to the task sequences.  No changes.

Has anyone ever encountered the 0xc0000017?

not sure what other info I could provide at this time.... any suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

Hi Xin,

That was my first thought as well, but each system had 2GB of memory - more than enough.
I recreated the WinPE wim file, completely empty of drivers, assigned the new wim to the task sequence and tested.

Worked (minus being able to load necessary network drivers).

I then reverted back to the original WIM and it failed again... so... bad WIM file.

I added drivers back into the new WIM file one by one and tested.... so far so good!

Hi,

Error Code 0xc0000017= There isn't enough memory available to create a ramdisk device.
