[ipxe-devel] trouble booting CentOS from Netapp iSCSI LUN

[Scott Classen]

Hello,

I've successfully installed CentOS 5.5 to a 10GB iSCSI LUN hosted on
my Netapp from my linux machine (samos)

I am now trying to get my diskless computer to boot from the iSCSI LUN.

the relevent portion of my dhcp.conf file appears thusly (with some
details obscured):

        host samos {
                hardware ethernet 00:25:90:99:99:99;
                fixed-address 192.168.1.22;
                if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
                        filename "";
                        option root-path
"iscsi:192.168.1.12::::iqn.2010-11.com.big.samos";
                } else {
                        filename "/undionly.kpxe";
                }
        }

I've set the BIOS to boot from the onboard intel NIC, and I see teh
regular PXE boot then it gets chainloded into iPXE and then I see this
horribly non informative error.

Root path: iscsi:192.168.1.12::::iqn.2010-11.com.big.samos
Could not open SAN device: No such device (http://ipxe.org/2c0d603b)
no more network devices


any ideas why it's trying to open some device at http://ipxe.org ???

Thanks,
