Hi,

I looked at the network trace briefly and I didn't see anything obviously wrong.



1. gPXE did login to the iSCSI target successfully with CHAP authentication (one-way).

2. The partition is only 1Gbyte and the partition is NTFS based on the MBR and Disk Inquiry response.

3. There were a lot of READ/WRITE IO$B!G(Bs from the initiator after login.

4. The last operations were iSCSI logout and then TCP connection was closed.



In normal Win2k3/Win2K8 or Linux iSCSI boot, gPXE passes iSCSI parameters + CHAP information to the OS initiator via iBFT.  OS initiator then does iSCSI login again with the iSCSI target.  I didn$B!G(Bt see such operations.  In addition, Windows partition is normally 5GB to 15GB which depends on the favor of the OS and user$B!G(Bs setup.



What are you trying to boot?



Regards!



Kevin

Forwarding.  Perhaps this will be helpful in debugging this issue.
