[ipxe-devel] [iPXE] SANBOOT failed Input/Output Error

Wed Oct 27 06:55:13 UTC 2010

Hey guys,

Captured some more information about this by setting up wireshark and 
caputuring all iscsi activity on the server when my VM tried to connect. 
I uploaded the logs to:

   http://www.jstenback.com/ws-iscsi-fail.txt

Let me know if any other information would be helpful.
