I've finally installed Windows 7 x64 to iSCSI target using Win 7 AIK. Setup went fine except very long time period between Starting Windows and any noticeable activitity during 2 installation reboots. Those periods took about 10-20 minutes of "doing nothing".
Now my fresh installation have the similar issue with booting. What I see is: 1) After gPXE stage I see black screen for 50 seconds till Starting Windows appear (that's OK) 2) After Start Windows message till windows logo appears there is 5-6 minutes period of "inactivity" (not OK) 3) After this windows loads and works fine I've also tried booting in Safe mode - that is terrible :) Driver loading lines appear one by one with half minute intervals. The whole safe mode booting process takes about 20 minutes. Could you suggest how to improve booting performace? I'll play with another configurations too and with x86 to get more experience, but appreciate any help. My configuration: Gygabyte G41ME-S2L Intel Pro 1000 CT (8086:10d3) gPXE 1.0.1-rc1 iscsitarget on Ubuntu 10.04 over gigabit network _______________________________________________ gPXE mailing list gPXE@etherboot.org http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe
