iSCSI root installs fine but doesn't boot

[Dennis J.]

Already tried that. What bugs me is that the installation went through 
without a hitch which shows that the iscsi setup seems to work fine but 
after the reboot the laptop doesn't even send out any packet to my desktop 
and just fails right away.
