<tt>The gPXE mailing-list, Luís. I mentioned it in my earlier e-mail.
The information is here: <a target="_blank" href="http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe" moz-do-not-send="true">http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe</a><br>
<br>
I have carbon-copied the list and included your message. If you don't
use the list, you won't have the opportunity to benefit from the
experiences of the seasoned gPXE users out there in the world. :)<br>

<div><tt>Thanks for your reply.</tt></div>
<div><tt>At this moment i already solved the problem. Probably i
should messed up in some configuration file...i installed all again,
i've followed your great tutorials, and i have sucessfully installed
windows 7 directly on SAN. I also can boot the saved image on the
machine used to the installation.</tt></div>
<div><tt>Now, i'm stuck on this point. I just can load the image on
the machine used to make the image. When i try to boot on a different
machine it seem's the the network connection is lost on startup. I say
this because, on windows 7, when the boot stops, i'm presented with a
window showing me some options to do some recovery. I can see the
virtual disk is not present. Probably netcard driver's. You know how
can i insert extra netcard driver's to the windows. I followed this
tutorial, but don't feet on windows 7.</tt></div>

I tryed 2 methods<br>
1. Install on a phisycal disk, after, copy a image to the server. This

the machine reboot...and enter's on a loop.<br>

<tt>How far do you get? Do you see the Linux kernel running
before it reboots? What's the last message on the screen before the
reboot? You are booting the SAN with 'sanboot' or a DHCP root-path
option, right? If so, which boot-loader is installed on the SAN? Have
you reviewed the following?:<br>

<tt>Can you connect to your SAN from any OS running on any box?
Checking this would rule out firewall or routing issues. Does the
to-be-SAN-booted OS tear down networking or bring up a firewall at any
stage? If so, this could cause problems.<br>
