Thanks for the reply Shao.  I followed the instructions on that page, this
issue seems to be the installer is not making the initrd file.  I even tried
installing the /boot to a real disk, and installing the / to my san disk,
still no go, the initrd file is not made.  The install of / seems to work
fine, and the system boots the grub menu from san, just doesn't have the
initrd.  I have chosen the default partition, followed the exact way they do
it in the tut, and also tried mine partition setup.  No go.

I might point out I am starting the install using my pxe boot server.  And
this is all on my vmware server.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Cory

Good day Cory,

In regards to your difficulties installing Fedora to SAN via gPXE:

You mentioned that you'd used the Wiki guide.  I'd assume that you came
across http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/fedora_iscsi_install during
your walk-through.

Did you mistakenly install to another disk (not the SAN)?  Did you
choose default partitioning options?  I'm not too sure what's gone wrong
in your setup. :(
