Try making the disk signature 0 in the OS image you are booting from. This =
signature starts at offset of 440 and is 4 bytes long. Take a look at MBR w=
iki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record.

Subject: [Etherboot-discuss] Need help with San boot - Windows XP boot stuc=
kat Logo


I was trying to do a san boot (gpxe) using a windows XP and I am facing som=
e issues with it.

I have installed Microsoft iscsi boot initiator and san boot as mentioned o=
n website (http://etherboot.org/wiki/sanboot/winnt_iscsi) and followed the =
steps mentioned, installing win XP on 4 gb partition and trying to boot it =
from a Linux machine. The problem I am facing is the boot goes fine till I =
see the windows logo and then it just sits there and it goes in some kind o=
f weird loop there.

So, in order to debug, I installed windbg and I noticed some irregularities=
:
"No sBFT found".

I am trying to san boot on a Windows Desktop (Dell model).

I am attaching the debugging transcript  I got from windbg, Can someone ple=
ase let me know what's wrong?

Really appreciate your help in advance.

Thanks
Ali
