That's why I asked in this mailing list. Sounds like this is a severe problem with the BIOS. Is anyone of you familiar with writing bug reports to mainboard manufacturers? I would also like to do some coding if you had any ideas for me. Even though I am not very familiar with the etherboot code, especially not with the new versions, but I've read through some parts of the 5.0.5 code once. Perhaps we can do anything to etherboot to satisfy this BIOS. |
