Somewhere lost Shao's email. Answering to his question - yes, I'm just detaching HDD from PC and trying to boot the same PC. So hardware is exactly the same.
I've also tried to: 1) Disable onboard NIC (I've discovered that it is enabled) 2) Install Intel Pro 1000 drivers (I've used windows) 3) Install sanbootconf, but installation failed telling that MS iSCSI initiator should be installed The same result, no activity after windows logo appears. Haven't tried to get debug info as do not have another PC with COM port. What I've tried is to do the same operations with Vista x64 + SP2 (I've tried before Win7 x64 RTM). Vista loads ok (but slowly, 3-4 minutes till the progress bar and 1.5 minutes to load till login screen, after this it works fast) I've also tried Andrey Bobulsky's suggestion to play with BCD over partially installed iSCSI drive. Moved a bit forward, now getting BOOT\BCD error, and windows repair see iSCSI drive only if another HDD is attached (the same as with Win7 setup). And repair works very long and actually do not help. I'll continue to play with this tomorrow. > It may be that your NIC is not marked as boot-start.
