Hello Marek, I find myself unable to load the gregorystrike.com domain you reference in your email, so I'll try my best here at a solution for you:
Double check the contents of your ISO file. If you're attempting to boot a flat WinPE ISO, where you see a \Windows and \Program Files directory, while you *shouldn't* be experiencing an error reading the BCD, it will fail at a later point in time. Generally, you'll only be able to SAN-Boot a WinPE ISO that extracts the PE from a .wim file, usually located in \Sources\boot.wim. Second, I'm guessing that you're attempting to install directly to an iSCSI target. You'll want to change your 'sanhook' directive to omit the '--no-describe' option. That option prevents the SAN disk from being written into the iBFT, and as such it will not get passed to your WinPE when it boots. Also, you *may* have more success if you mount the ISO as a drive letter more formally seen as an optical disk, such as 0xE0. As such, your new boot commands would look like: dhcp set keep-san 1 sanhook --drive 0x80 iscsi:192.168.146.132::::iqn.2012-01.local:win7disk sanboot --drive 0xE0 --no-describe http://10.0.0.1/path.to.WinPE.iso It's entirely possible that this might not work at all, or leave you in the exact same situation. But, I've had a few minor tweaks like those resolve some issues with more stubborn machine BIOSes in the past, and hope that it might work for you ;) Cheers, Andrew Bobulsky On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 7:14 AM, Marek Salwerowicz <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > W dniu 2012-03-14 01:09, Slawomir Latkowski pisze: > >> Hi Marek, >> >> I don't think it will boot from iSCSI target. >> The tutorial you were following says about (...I have dedicated my >> time to figuring out a way to mount iSCSI targets under our custom >> WinPE v3.0 (Windows 7 Based) environment...) but not to boot from >> iSCSI target. > > As far as I know, sanboot allows to boot the Live-CD image (like my WinPE > ISO). > What's more, when I do not set iSCSI Target ( sanhook....) and ONLY boot > Live-CD, everything works. > > > -- > Regards, > Marek Salwerowicz > > >> >> Maybe I miss a point... >> >> Regards, >> Slawek >> >> W dniu 13 marca 2012 23:51 użytkownik Marek Salwerowicz >> <[email protected]> napisał: >>> >>> Hi list, >>> >>> I have a problem with trying to boot WinPE 3.0 (prepared according to: >>> >>> http://www.gregorystrike.com/2010/01/08/winpe-v3-0-and-microsoft-iscsi-initiator/). >>> I've prepared it under Win7 Pro. >>> >>> I have downladed from git repository current tree, prepared the ISO image >>> of >>> iPXE (under Debian Squeeze) >>> >>> I have set up the iSCSI target under FreeNAS >>> >>> After booting my machine from iPXE ISO image i type following commands: >>> >>> dhcp >>> set keep-san 1 >>> sanhook --drive 0x80 --no-describe >>> iscsi:192.168.146.132::::iqn.2012-01.local:win7disk >>> sanboot --drive 0x81 --no-describe http://10.0.0.1/path.to.WinPE.iso >>> >>> WinPE stops during boot and displays following message: >>> >>> File: \Boot\BCD >>> Status: 0xc000000e >>> Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration >>> data. >>> >>> When I do not attach iSCSI target and only boot the WinPE iso file, >>> everything is OK, but (of course) I can't install Windows under my iSCSI >>> target. >>> >>> Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? >>> >>> -- >>> Regards, >>> Marek Salwerowicz >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> ipxe-devel mailing list >>> [email protected] >>> https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo/ipxe-devel > > > _______________________________________________ > ipxe-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo/ipxe-devel _______________________________________________ ipxe-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo/ipxe-devel
