iSCSI Boot and FC6

[Narendra Hadke]

Hi,
  I am exploring iSCSI Install to target LUN support in FC6 and came across few issues while trying out the same.
  1.  Found that if network is not configured before graphical install, “Advance Storage
       Option” dialog doesn’t prompt for the target ip address. It prompts for network
       config but doesn't go to "target ip dialog".  For some reason "linux asknetwork" 
       did not work as expected. 
  2.   I used  option “linux updates” to configure network manually from the 
       command prompt. Fedora 6 was installed(default) completely  on the target LUN. 
       After booting, kernel panic while mounting root filesystem. I beleive reason being
       install image  didn't have "initrd" which can does discovery for boot LUN.
  3.  Before rebooting the installation, created "initrd"  and modified grub setting.
       Discovery happened and root filesystem got mounted correctly.
  4.  Booting got struck during network install as interface on which initiator connected 
       was brought down by network script. I bypassed this commenting this script( not
      elegant way of doing though) in sysinit. I was able to boot with FC6 from target 
       LUN.
    Question I have is, if  this feature fully supported without the workarrounds in FC6
   I have done or I am missing some thing?
   
  Thanks,
  Narendra Hadke
