Bug Description
After installing to an iSCSI disk, the initramfs image used at first boot into the newly installed system does not load any iSCSI kernel modules and there is no iSCSI configuration in /etc/iscsi, which causes the boot to fail.

On jaunty, I had success with these steps, done BEFORE rebooting into my new installation. The key is creating the file "/etc/iscsi/ iscsi.initramfs " and rebuilding the init ram disk.
Here are my notes:
BEFORE REBOOT, ON TARGET [chroot /target /bin/bash] interfaces for eth0 (already configured via initramfs) iscsid. conf parameters initramfs- tools/hooks/ iscsi: iscsistart is really in /sbin (copy_exec) initramfs- tools/scripts/ local-top/ iscsi) just before "configure_ networking" for my via-rhine card iscsi.initramfs : (ISCSI_ TARGET_ NAME=iqn. blahblah, ISCSI_TARGET_ IP=192. 168.15. x) 2.6.28- 11-server (if kernel not upgraded in dist-upgrade)
apt-get update
apt-get install open-iscsi
remove dhcp from /etc/network/
verify all /etc/iscsi/
edit /usr/share/
add "sleep 2" to iscsi script (/usr/share/
nano /etc/iscsi/
apt-get dist-upgrade
