A disk read error occurred BOOTMGR is missing . BOOTMGR is compressed. Press Ctrl+alt

[nick]

I got the message [A disk read error occurred BOOTMGR is missing . BOOTMGR is compressed. Press Ctrl+alt+Del to restart] by capturing packet with wireshark when I start up window 7 with following command:
sanboot iscsi:192.168.1.100::::iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:joy-0001-image-target.
Then I reinstalled again, similar problem occurred again.
Hopefully, someone would like to tell me how to fix this problem.
Greatly appreciate!!!

I tried again, after i installed the OS ,I can enter the windows immediately, But after that, The same error was reported .
The iscsi server still send [a disk read error occured BOOTMGR is missing, BOOTMGR is compressed]

You should have more information then just the BOOTMGR message.

If you see that message in wireshark then that is just the contents of the packets and is no issue on it's own (it's data on disk)

Also the iSCSI server itself will never know anything about BOOTMGR.

Are you running a windows installation on a iSCSI disk via wimboot which fails on reboot?

Might help us understand your issue if you could post an image of this message.

I have installed the window7 on iscsi vhd, The first time I can enter the window fast (in 1 minute), but second time, I spent 20 minutes to enter the windw 7.

because I cant upload a picture here ,so I try to describe the issue here:
I paste the packet near the point where the error occured

Hopefully, The above message is helpful to analysis the problem!!!

Ok so the issue is that the boot takes 20 minutes?
There is plenty of sites where you can upload images and then add link here.

Again packet captures contains disk data NOT ERROR MESSAGES!

Which version of iPXE are you using ?

what is your full ipxe startup script? does it have set net0/gateway 0.0.0.0 ?

Have you seen http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=7962 ?

Which version of iPXE are you using ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just downloaded the undionly.kpxe from http://boot.ipxe.org/undionly.kpxe
I checked the version of iPXE is 1.0.0+

what is your full ipxe startup script? does it have set net0/gateway 0.0.0.0 ?
I just input in command line as below:
iPXE> dhcp net0
iPXE> set keep-san 1
iPXE> sanboot iscsi:192.168.1.100::::iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:joy-0001-image-target

[nick]

I configured my DHCP as below:


And my client loop to download undionly.kpxe file.

I also tried following command in command line:
iPXE > dhcp
iPXE > set net0/gateway 0.0.0.0
iPXE > sanboot iscsi:192.168.1.100::::iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:joy-0001-image-target

finally, I got the same problem,20+ minutes later, I enter the windows 7.
