[ipxe-devel] Windows XP just reboots all time in the logo screen

[Tal Aloni]

Hi Daniel,
1. Something is wrong in your no_error.txt: by the presence of
"iscsiboot.sys" in your log (old version of sanbootconf), I'm getting a
strong feeling that you didn't perform a clean install of Windows.
if your attaching a second log for comparison purposes, you should use the
same installation in both iSCSI and physical disk,
to clone the installation, you can use Microsoft ImageX.

2. You're mistaken. sanbootconf  is NOT among the last drivers to load in
no_error.txt, note that ndisuio.sys is the last driver to load in
no_error.txt.

3. what's effecting the order is primary the value of:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\sanbootconf:Group
which should be "Base",
Base should be the 6th group to be loaded, as specified in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ServiceGroupOrder:List
this list is modified by sanbootconf setup program, if the setup has been
executed successfully, you should have Base as the 6th item,
after System Bus Extender, NDIS Wrapper and NDIS, and before PNP_TDI
(Note that the manual installation method I suggested earlier does NOT
execute sanbootconf's setup program,
however, it should still make sanbootconf be loaded, which doesn't happen)

I also can't recognize any network adapter driver in error.txt.

4. I suggest you install VMWare 1.0.x, select the E1000 network adapter, and
experiment with making the machine iSCSI bootable,
I have a strong feeling you're missing something, and it would be easier to
track with a VM.

5. Are you using an original installation media with the latest service pack
already integrated?

Regards,
Tal
