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 ;)
This is great stuff, and I'd really like to write up a Howto guide for using
WinPE to carry out a direct iSCSI installation, since it's becoming a FAQ. Do
you have any recommendations on the best way to construct a suitable WinPE
ISO? (Can you use the raw .wim images from the OS installation DVD? What
extra files do you need to add to make a bootable ISO from the .wim?)
Michael,
Did you received any check information about how to prepare WinPE 3.0
for Win7 iSCSI installation and boot ?
