Hi
When does OS gives up finding the BOOT disk i.e. throws inaccessible boot device BSOD 0x7B.
I am booting of a remote disk using my Virtual storage miniport whcih uses the NDIS miniport as transport. All these componenst are BOOT start. Below is what happens in working case
- My NDIS miniport starts
- My protocol driver starts
- Protocol driver gets BIND
- Protocol driver creates a Virtual Storage PDO
- My storage driver discovers disks
Basically like iscsi initiator but instead of tcpip,sys it is my custom protocol driver
All above works as long as teh system has a my boot NIC and any other NIC (boot start) .
But once I remove the other NIC on system, I fail BSOD inaccessible boot device, 0x7B.
Looks like all the while I had a timing issue but just happened to work and now came across a setup where before I get a chance to create my storage PDO, OS gives up with 0x7B BSOD.
Is above approximation of OS finding a remote DISK to boot off correct?
How do I resolve above BSOD given that my protocol driver does’t have or know all the conveniences/actions that native iscsi initiator has?
Thx
