I just managed to setup my diskless DOS boot using gPXE and iSCSI DOS (6.22) boots OK, even old games (ancient doom) that are present in the DOS disk image start fine. However, I can't write anything to c:\ ! executing: echo 1 > c:\test.txt results in general failure error, and a 0 bytes file on disk dnsmasq/ietd on centos 5.3. used iSCSI target is writable when connected from XP/Windows7 Used rom-0-matic to download stable ISO image, for RTL8139 Any hints welcome..... -----Original Message End----- "ACS," Are you connecting multiple clients to the same iSCSI target at the same time? The FAT filesystem is not designed with multiple simultaneous clients in mind, as far as I know. If you have a Windows XP and/or a Windows 7 and/or a DOS client connected at the same time, you could experience filesystem corruption and strange errors like "general failure." Also, see if your iSCSI target software allows for multiple clients. It could be that you need to disconnect all clients first, then maybe a single client will have better luck. - Shao Miller _______________________________________________ gPXE mailing list gPXE@etherboot.org http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe
