[ipxe-devel] iSCSI issue with gpxe and Equallogic

I am seeing a strange issue with equallogic iscsi arrays with latest
firmware 5..X. The older firmware 4.X worked fine.

GPXE version: 1.0.1
Equallogic firmware: 5.X

Equallogic uses iscsi redirection, to redirect initiator from group address
to an address for data transmission. WIth latest equallogic firmware, iscsi
connection to group address is fine, a target redirection happens, and then
the equalogic array terminates the connection. No idea why. The same
firmware works with other software initiators (ESX, linux etc). The same
gPXE works fine with Netapp target with no issues. This looks like some
interop issue with latest equallogic firmware.

I am attaching the DEBUG=iscsi output as well as the wireshark output.

Thanks,
Viswa
