Hello Mahboob,
It's unfortunate that you're having trouble!
Some quick Googling turned up the following post to the list from June
of last year: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.network.etherboot.gpxe/1124
While his issue isn't precisely the same as yours, I notice from your
WinDbg output that the line[s] where NIC detection occurs don't show
up. Perhaps Sanbootconf's debug output has changed somewhat since
then, but it could be an indicator of what's causing your trouble.
As Michael asked, is it possible that the NIC driver for your machine
isn't installed correctly or that it's not marked as boot-start?
Cheers,
Andrew Bobulsky
