[H. Buurman]

Hello,

  At first, iscsitarget starts, but complains that it can't find the
  files mentioned in /etc/iet/ietd.conf. Thus I gave the following
  commands:
    /etc/init.d/iscsitarget stop
    crsetup <args>
    mount /dev/mapper/something /mnt/storage3
    /etc/init.d/iscsitarget start

  Further experimentation has shown me the following:
  - Creating a new empty image (dd if=/dev/zero of=wherever bs=1G
  count=40), making it available as a iscsitarget never fails to get
  hooked/booted from (apart from the fact that it is empty). This does
  not cause the kernel bug.
  - Booting my (apparently) broken win7 installation image (which
  broke halfway during installation) causes win7 to bsod and reboot
  immediately (I haven't been able to tell windows not to do that,
  since it's not completely installed yet). This somehow leaves the
  iscsitarget-system in a state where the next attempt to do anything
  with an exported volume (for example a sanhook-command from ipxe)
  causes the kernel bug to happen.
  It doesn't matter if the imagefile itself is stored on an encrypted
  volume or not.

  Is there any way I can let the iscsitarget-system log everything it
  does to file and reproduce the above scenario (tried 4 times, always
  has the same outcome)?
