Hi all,

I need to install several windows KVM (rhel5.4 host fully updated)
guests for iSCSI boot. iSCSI servers are Solaris/OpenSolaris storage
servers and I need to boot windows guests (2008R2 and Win7) using gpxe.
Can i use virtio net dirver during windows install or e1000 driver??


rhel5.4 does not have gpxe so it won't work. rhel5.5 will have such but
I don't recall someone testing iScsi with kvm+gpxe on upstream too, 
worth testing.


Anyway, virtio performs better than e1000 and potentially more stable 
than it.




Many thanks.
