The gPXE mailing-list, Luís. I mentioned it in my earlier e-mail. The
information is here: http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe
I have carbon-copied the list and included your message. If you don't
use the list, you won't have the opportunity to benefit from the
experiences of the seasoned gPXE users out there in the world. :)

Thanks for your reply.
At this moment i already solved the problem. Probably i should
messed up in some configuration file...i installed all again, i've
followed your great tutorials, and i have sucessfully installed
windows 7 directly on SAN. I also can boot the saved image on the
machine used to the installation.
Now, i'm stuck on this point. I just can load the image on the
machine used to make the image. When i try to boot on a different
machine it seem's the the network connection is lost on startup. I
say this because, on windows 7, when the boot stops, i'm presented
with a window showing me some options to do some recovery. I can
see the virtual disk is not present. Probably netcard driver's.
You know how can i insert extra netcard driver's to the windows. I
followed this tutorial, but don't feet on windows 7.

Hello to all.
First place i want to thank you for your amazing job, and
share with all the mortals.
... gPXE is nice. There is a gPXE mailing list at:
http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe
I'm trying to put this to work, but i have a problem.
Seem's to me a session problem.
I configured one debian server,with dhcp, dns, ftp, gpxe
and iscsi
I tryed 2 methods
1. Install on a phisycal disk, after, copy a image to the
server. This start's to load the image, but at some point
at the boot, hang an then the machine reboot...and enter's
on a loop.
How far do you get? Do you see the Linux kernel running
before it reboots? What's the last message on the screen
before the reboot? You are booting the SAN with 'sanboot' or
a DHCP root-path option, right? If so, which boot-loader is
installed on the SAN? Have you reviewed the following?:
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/howtos
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/debian_etch_iscsi
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/debian_lenny_iscsi
2. Install directly on sanboot. THe instalation start's
ok. The problem happen on the first reboot of the
instalation. After the first reboot, the system hangs.
And http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/iscsi_install ?
I tryed windows xp, windows vista, windows 7..... all the
same thing.
And what about the following?:
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/winxp
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/winvista
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/win7
How can i solve, debug, troubleshoot, find information....
Can you connect to your SAN from any OS running on any box?
Checking this would rule out firewall or routing issues.
Does the to-be-SAN-booted OS tear down networking or bring up
a firewall at any stage? If so, this could cause problems.
