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??
Many thanks.

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.
