What about on fedora 16?
We're using a semi-custom solution - the same on both F14 and 16. We rsync a standard Fedora disk-based root to an iscsi target. We take the standard Fedora vmlinuz and initrd (after being created using dracut with network booting enabled) and boot these using pxeboot (served over tftp). A dhcp server provides the root-path option to tell the initrd where the root is. We modify the /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf file on the root disk to change the suggested options. Perhaps this is now too late in the boot sequence, but wouldn't "iscsiadm -m node -o show" show what iscsid is running with? > On the F16 system is iscsid running? Apparently (systemctl reports the service as running): root 795 0.0 0.0 12908 656 ? Ss Nov30 0:01 iscsid root 796 0.0 0.1 15796 5576 ?

We're not using network manager - we're using the network init script (which needs modification because it shuts down the network before the shutdown sequence has completed. Maybe we should try a standard F16 install onto iscsi and see whether the reconnection works...
