Hello,
I try to boot Windows 8 (x86) over ISCSI on a system with a Realtek RTL
8111C onboard nic.
The first setup step with loading the boot.wim with wimboot works fine.
The Realtek nic is installed in the PE and the Windows setup write the os
image to the iscsi target.
After the first reboot, the Windows boot hangs and displays the
"INACCESABLE_BOOT_DEVICE" error after some time.
Is there anything I can try to debug or resolve the
"INACCESABLE_BOOT_DEVICE" boot error?
Other combinations I successfully tested:
- Use a "Intel Pro/1000 PT QP" Nic instead of the onboard Realtek for the
Windows 8 boot.
- Use Windows 7 with the onboard Realtek nic.

it would be useful to see your .ipxe configuration for doing the boot from iSCSI
is the client connecting to the iSCSI LUN ?
iPXE configuration:
#!ipxe
set net0/gateway 192.168.178.5
sanboot iscsi:192.168.178.5:::0:BootServer:0024XXXXXXXX
I set the gateway to the iscsi target because the client and the server
are on the same subnet and the iSCSI Boot Initiator creates a static
route to the gateway (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/960104).
iPXE is connecting to the iSCSI LUN but I can not see any session from
Windows itself
# cat /proc/net/iet/session
tid:1 name:BootServer:0024XXXXXXXX
sid:535643141111872
initiator:iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe:00000000-0000-0000-0000-00241d53ff5a
cid:0 ip:192.168.178.136 state:active hd:none dd:none
I only see the Windows 8 boot logo and after some time a
"INACCESABLE_BOOT_DEVICE" error screen.
