Re: [Xen-users] gPXE Hangs in Xen



A couple of reasons:
1) Xen 3.2.x does not include gPXE support - these are still the Etherboot days.
2) I need gPXE support because I want to boot from iSCSI - just PXE boot isn't 
good enough.
3) Much as I would like to, I can't upgrade past Xen 3.2 right now - there are 
several reasons for this.

I may be able to compile the latest qemu-dm from the mercurial repository to 
get gPXE support, but I'm not sure this will run on the version of Xen that I 
have.
