Has anybody got any idea what the problem is? I fully accept that I may have done something dumb here - I'm just getting started with iPXE / iSCSI and have a lot to learn!

You could try using wireshark to observe how much iSCSI activity there is. That would give you some idea of whether or not the system is still alive.

Is the iSCSI-booting hardware identical to the hardware on which the image was prepared? Windows XP generally doesn't like being moved onto different hardware.
