[ipxe-devel] [Etherboot-discuss] need gpxe support for Intel nic 82566DM-2

[erin.coffey at tektronix.com]

Thank you Michael:

I tried the ipxe iso and I'm getting the same results as with gpxe.

If I run "autoboot" I see the Windows Welcome screen but, it times out and reboots to ipxe. 

If I run the sanboot command, it says that it can't initiate iscsi.

I'm working on configuring the Win 7 iscsi initiator and will keep trying.

Firstly, your card *is* supported.

Secondly, you should upgrade to iPXE, in which case you will see a helpful 
error message directing you to http://ipxe.org/2c0d603b which contains 
suggestions for fixing the problem you are hitting!  :)
