[gPXE] Porting Windows XP to New Target Hardware + ISCSI Boot

[Shao Miller]

Good day Marc,

In regards to your Windows XP via iSCSI BSoD shortly after logging in:

A firewall or "Internet protection" provided by an anti-virus product 
might be cutting off iSCSI.  You could attempt to edit the SYSTEM hive 
on the SAN to disable these.  Windows' firewall is the "SharedAccess" 
service.  You'd have to try to determine the service for some other 
anti-virus or firewall product.

I'm not sure that the BSoD is due to the NIC's re-installation; I would 
expect Windows to prompt you to reboot if it wished to update the device 
configuration with different driver parameters, since the device is 
critical to the running system.  I could be mistaken, however.  You 
could have a look at C:\Windows\SetupAPI.log on the SAN and see what 
Windows was up to near the time of the BSoD.  If you _really_ suspect 
that this is the problem, you can rename the C:\Windows\INF\ directory 
to C:\Windows\INF.orig\ so that Windows will not be able to install 
_any_ devices.  If you have Remote Desktop enabled, you could then 
Remote Desktop to the computer and have a chance to look around (at your 
unknown devices in Device Manager, for instance).

Good luck.
