<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to get a iPXE 1 GB instance to boot from an iSCSI volume.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The iSCSI volume has RHEL on it (I used dd to copy it from an EBS instance onto the FSxN ISCSI volume).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I attach the EBS device to an instance, it boots just fine. I can see the partitions and MBR on the iSCSI volume, which I have mounted to a temp server just to investigate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My iPXE user data script is as follows;<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">PXE seems to see the volume just fine, and boot proceeds until I get this screen (see attached).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s a hang - could this possibly be due to the device order? I am not sure how to proceed.<o:p></o:p></p>
