Hello again Matt,
I'm glad you were able to get past the one hurdle, though it's unfortunate you got stopped by another :-/ I seem to recall that there's something about a failed boot-type command that halts script execution and fails back out to the BIOS boot order. There is a patch for this though, and I've used it, it does work well! .but I can't remember for the life of me how to apply patches from git. One of those things that I re-figure out every time I use it. I've got a compiled binary of it somewhere. it'd take some searching though. The relevant patch is here: http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/sha0/gpxe.git;a=commitdiff;h=79bcbbe5 And the thread that it was introduced in is here: http://etherboot.org/pipermail/gpxe-devel/2010-March/000078.html That patch will, of course, allow you to do what you're attempting to accomplish. Cheers, Andrew Bobulsky [CC'ed to the mailing list and to Shao, because it's his patch ;)] From: Matthew Helton [mailto:mwhel...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2010 12:52 PM To: Andrew Bobulsky Subject: Re: [gPXE] Unable to get past iSCSI drive message for SAN Installation... Andrew, I did precisely those steps last night which you have described in detail above... and received a different error: Non-System disk or disk error replace and strike any key when ready _ It will not continue on to the chain tftp:// command after the sanboot command - not good. Curiously, it will not attempt to boot from a USB Stick connected to it (even though it is next in the boot order), but will boot from the DVD-ROM (which is te device after that). Problem solved - sort of. The not being able to use the USB stick is a disappointment, and I suspect it is related to the BIOS of the particular system in question. The system will boot from the USB stick normally if I don't use gPXE. Oh well. Ao it appears I do have a working solution... that is the important thing. I don't have the solution I was [i]looking[/i] for, but overall, it does meet the criteria. Best, Matt
