Hello to all, and sorry for may bad english, i'm Spanish.
I'm trying to install Debian 6 on one server without internal disks, I
have a Workstation running Debian 6 too that run as an iSCSI Target. This work
station is configured as iSCSI target with the package iscsitarget, it is
running without problems. The logical drive is exported perfectly.
On the other hand (the initiator), the server is an HP DL380 G6, it
have an network controller with boot from iSCSI support, we like use it to
start Debian 6 without PXE, BOOTP, usb or something else.
I'm using this post "http://www.david-web.co.uk/blog/?p=188" to install
Debian in the Target drive using iSCSI protocol (Debian is installed correctly
in the remote drive using this method), but when I finish the installation and
the server restart it is unable to boot. The grub is installed on the remote
drive, and the Network firmware is well configured and it is connected to the
remote drive at the moment of boot, but when the Grub of the remote drive try
to start it show an error that says: "Grub Read Error" and the boot process is
stopped at this time. At this time no grub rescue mode is available and no
interactive methods is possible to debug the boot process.
Here is the details of the server and his network controller (Chipset Broadcom
BCM5709C):

Because I'm using the iSCSI firmware provided by the network card, I'm
not doing nothing in the last process of the post
"http://www.david-web.co.uk/blog/?p=188" where the post says: "DON’T allow the
system to reboot – the installed system can’t boot yet. I decided that I wanted
to boot using BOOTP and TFTP".
Please, ¿could someone help me?
Thanks and Best Regards,
