Dear Friends,
I did see a post on http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=182982 thread by Jan Bottorff about this iSCSIBoot working via CDDB.
Jan, of you are there, can you please describe the “undocumented” stuff that got you going in this?
Or if anyone knows how to relate CDDB with iSCSIBoot, please help me.
I am trying to move my Windows Installation from one hardware to another and need to get the iSCSI boot working on the new hardware, but the debugger shows 7B error.
Thanks a ton in advance
Warm Regards,
Raj

Like many people on this list, I actually can’t comment on many things due
to confidentiality agreements with my employer.
I believe the posting you are referring to was about entries created by the
W2K8 R2/Win 7 setup program when you install directly to an iSCSI target.
Anybody who does such an install can look at the CriticalDeviceDatabase and
see the entries created, which as far as I know are not documented. The CCDB
entries help a system continue to iSCSI boot when moving between identical
hardware that has unstable PnP instance id’s, for example caused by PCIe
device serial numbers. This does not provide some magic way to get the
equivalent of the user mode NIC class installer code to run from kernel mode
for new NIC types.
