[gPXE] Delay while booting Windows 7 from iSCSI

[Erik Loman]

Hi all,

I am experiencing a slow Windows 7 boot (I have installed directly to the SAN).

I detect a solid 20 second of zero disk activity. I want to get rid of that 20 second delay because it is holding up Windows to boot.

I have looked in the Event Log to see which part is taking the longest time and it is BootDevicesInitTime and BootPNPInitDuration (at least 16 seconds).

I am running into a brick wall trying to solve this. Perhaps someone with experience can help?

Best regards,
Erik
