The following explains about the stop code reference by pointer that caused from intel NIC as intel i225 / i226 and need specific driver to work and boot on diskless

  1. If the BSOD stop code is REFERENCE_BY_POINTER, the issue is related to the Intel NIC.

Figure 1

  1. Prepare a SSD with windows OS on client PC
  2. Install the Intel NIC driver on the SSD PC using version intel.1.1.4.45, as other versions do not work.
  3. Open Device Manager, select the NIC, and click Update Driver. (Figure 1)

Figure 1

  1. Next, locate the unzipped folder on your PC, select it, and click Next to install.(Figure 2)

Figure 2

  1. On the client PC use CCBootPNP.exe tool (can be found at CCBootclient folder) and collect the driver follow here (Figure 3)

Figure 3

  1. After confirmation, a folder named Drivers will be created in the same directory as CCBootPNP.exe.
  2. Copy this folder to the server PC and paste it into the same directory where CCBoot is installed.
  3. Download Super image and add it as image in Boot section
  4. Update CCBootClient to latest version (Figure 4)

Figure 4

Navigate to Boot → Image, select the target image, and choose Upload Driver by Local. (Figure 5)

Figure 5

  1. The NIC driver will be added to the image, allowing it to boot successfully without errors.
  2. If the image is booting slowly, check whether the motherboard has a Wi-Fi adapter. If present, disconnect or disable it.
  3. Enable Super Client Mode and boot into the desktop.
  4. Open Registry Editor (regedit) and apply the following registry configuration:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CCBootPnP\Optimize]
"Enable"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CCBootPnP\Optimize\Driver]
"*FlowControl"="0"
"FlowControl"="0"
"S5WakeOnLan"="1"
"*InterruptModeration"="0"
"PowerSavingMode"="0"
"*PowerSavingMode"="0"
"EEE"="0"
"*EEE"="0"
"EnableGreenEthernet"="0"
"*IPChecksumOffloadIPv4"="0"
"*IPChecksumOffloadIPv6"="0"
"*TCPChecksumOffloadIPv4"="0"
"*TCPChecksumOffloadIPv6"="0"
"*UDPChecksumOffloadIPv4"="0"
"*UDPChecksumOffloadIPv6"="0"
"EnablePME"="1"
"Diskless"="1"
"*WakeOnMagicPacket"="1"
"*WakeOnPattern"="1"
"*LsoV1IPv4"="0"
"*LsoV2IPv4"="0"
"*LsoV2IPv6"="0"

  1. Reboot the PC. Boot time should improve after applying the registry.
  2. Shut down the PC and disable Super Client Mode, then save the changes
