[ipxe-devel] New to SAN booting - need help debugging

 Hello,

I am trying to set up my first iscsi bootable machine.  I am attempting
with both Fedora 16 and 17.

I set up the iscsi target following these instructions here:

http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Fedora_17&p=iscsi

The installation of Fedora seems to go well, it can see the iscsi disk,
installs to it without issue, etc.

Upon reboot, the machine fails to boot.  I think I am running into an issue
with iPXE, but I am not 100% sure.


Here is the output of tgtadm
tgtadm --mode target --op show

Attached is ipxe when it fails to attach to the disk.

I am not sure how to proceed.  Any suggestions?
