    Known issues

    iSCSI Target support is currently in limbo, as the user land tools for the new in-kernel iSCSI target are not yet in Debian unstable/testing and shipping the old iscsitarget modules in binary form appears to be almost impossible with the new DKMS packaging. + As a workaround you may consider using Ata Over Ethernet with vblade.

    dns bootoption does not work as expected. See issue1099 for details.
