iPXE, iSCSI and int13

[mr_jrt]

Right. Seems I left a test HDD connected whilst troubleshooting, and that's where my NTLDR was coming from, which explains how boot could be failing midway.

With that disk removed, it fails in a much more expected way:

Code:

Boot from SAN device 0x80 failed: Exec format error (http://ipxe.org/2e852001)
Unregistered SAN device 0x80

So I tried switching my iSCSI server software to identify any bugs there, (switched from http://iknowu.duckdns.org/files/public/I...onsole.htm to http://www.iscsicake.com/).

...but got the exact same result.

Now, I've opened up both my backing disks in a hex editor, and I can confirm that they contain valid MBRs, identical to those described here: http://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr...br.htm#CHS

So, next step is building iPXE with int13 debugging, yes? I've tried using the https://rom-o-matic.eu/ but it doesn't seem to like me much. What is the build config for the iPXE ISO made available to download on the website? That's the only one I've found that boots without failing.
