</head><body lang="DE" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72">The first error suggests that your UEFI firmware does not provide the EFI_ACPI_TABLE_PROTOCOL and so provides no way for iPXE to describe the iSCSI target. You can work around this firmware problem by using --no-describe. Note that the booted OS will not be able to automatically locate the iSCSI target, since there will be no iBFT.<br>
<br>
The second error is simply because you have attempted to hook two SAN targets using the same drive number.<br>
