OK, I have the smartcore PIII sending out packets at last. They seem to be right (dhcpd thinks they're dhcp packets anyway) but things don't go well on the receive side. The in-memory descriptor is never filled in, and the frame received bit in the status word is never set. Anybody got a hint :-) ron |

Hello Everyone, I wanted to let you know that because of a change of ISPs, rom-o- matic.net might be off the net for a few hours this weekend. I will do everything I can to minimize downtime, and if things go particularly well, noone will notice a thing. I will be running ISP both routers concurrently and multi-homing rom, so even after the address is changed in the nameservers, the old address should still respond. So, theoretically, while we wait for the cached memory of the old address to expire in nameservers around the world, service should continue undisturbed. Thats the theory :) Thanks for all the kind comments about rom-o-matic.net. It is a pleasure to provide this service to the community.

Yes, its true. You can make $500can [Because I live in canada] just to get the Prism2_pci driver working properly. Yes, The prism2_pci driver works but *only* for small bootable images. Anything larger then around 18-20mb's causes errors to occur. Im sure you are asking why not just make smaller images but thats not what we want to do. The Realtek 8029 and Realtek 8139 driver boots up our 42mb images no problem but the Prism2_pci driver doesn't. We will pay for anyone to properly correct this issue. Not a quick hack but a proper fix. If the driver is working properly then what is causing it stop working. [Check out our specs]. More information can be found on our website [Just a quick website ].

I will have to see what can be done. For now I am knocking off bugs as I come to them.

All of the drivers should still be working minimally in 5.1. Though I may have fat fingered the prism driver. I know I touched it just a little bit, adding/updating the virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt code. The drivers that work with multicast are marked as such. I have don't anything as far as testing which drivers work with relocation. I suppose I should go through the drivers and add: #ifdef RELOCATION #warning this driver has not yet been tested with relocation enabled. #endif And then we can remove those lines as the drivers are tested. And I should probably update LOG as well to note all of the other things that have happened in the development branch. At the moment, I am going home for bed. The multicast code it has been working solidly on a 960 node cluster, with no real complains. On Wednesday I am scheduled to go through and do some reboot testing. To test BIOS stability. But if I have missed anything in the multicast slam protocol it will show up there as well. Eric |

There are several noticeable steps forward. - The serial code is now in C making it more maintainable, there were a few lines in serial_init that were just wrong. - The bios32 pci code is now relocatable. - I have abstracted out the timer code a bit more for those people with weird timers. I haven't implemented any new timers but weird timers should fit in much more cleanly now. - The liloprefix and comprefix code is updated. I changed the build just a little bit to ensure all segment relative offsets were marked as such. And then I forgot to problems revealed in liloprefix. Besides drivers that don't do multicast or handle relocation it looks like only the old boot from disk code remains broken. I am getting an e1000 driver finished that must run under the pcbios, so I should catch most of the pcbios bugs. And my CVS commit comments.... - Replace serial.S with serial.c - Cleanup the com preserve code - Make the pci code relocateable - Fix the comprefix and the liloprefix to compile again - Make relocation the default for the non LinuxBIOS code - Added a bios32_call function to pcbios.S - Update the boot from disk code, adding the concept of a failsafe image. - Fix linuxbios.c so we actually pay attention to the boot order specified - Minor timer cleanup, now when we switch timers we can replace all of the timer functions.

Sorry, my mistake. Add $(ALTBOOT) to the dependency list of install: or get the corrected Makefile from CVS. You'll need nasm to compile from altboot.S.

I guess that many of these will be quite simple, since startup/shutdown and Tx functions are part of the API. There's no poll as such, so presumably getting UNDI to achieve this is not quite trivial.

> I am trying to write up a generic 'nic' driver that make use of the > PXE UNDI API, do I need to define PXELOADER_KEEP_UNDI? Hooray! Joe, I will personally buy you a beer when this first works! I take it that you have a copy of the 2.1 pxespec doc [*]? The PXE API consists of 4 sections (pre-boot, UNDI, UDP, TFTP), which can be unloaded if not required. Actually the current PXE "loader" does not actually load anything - the nic's PXE firmware actually loads and initiates it. It is really an *unloader* - once it finds itself running, it unloads the PXE API sections - and then runs the same Etherboot code (including the NIC driver) as if it had been loaded from ROM, floppy or whatever. The PXELOADER_KEEP_UNDI has the effect of not unloading UNDI - so yes, you'll need to keep that code (there isn't a lot of it) for a UNDI driver to work. Vasil, who wrote the PXE (un)loader code, put in the flag as a hint to the brave soul who takes on a UNDI driver. A bit of history - the code was written last year when we needed to do booting of cluster machines. I had some success in using EB from lilo and ROM (we used 3c905Cs which are easily flashable), but we started getting machines with unflashable PXE nic roms. It was also deemed desirable at the time to say to a customer that we "supported" PXE. To get Linux from PXE, the alternatives I could see were pxelinux or bpbatch, but I wanted EB, so I tried naively to get PXE to load a DOS environment and then EB via a COM file. I spoke to Vasil about this, and he realised that it would be quite easy to get PXE to use EB as the NBP (unlike me, he can code x86 assembler). A few days later he code working; my only contribution was to help merge it with EB source tree and give out some hints on using it. Marty Connor then did a detailed description which has become PXE howto for Etherboot and LTSP. This got round *our* PXE problem, and it seems that quite a few people have used EB-via-PXE (Marty, do you know what the rom-o-matic download stats are for the various forms of EB?). However, the main disadvantage has always been that for simple cases where using the UNDI driver would be desirable, one must select the right EB driver and build or get an image from rom-o-matic. A UNDI driver would make EB-via-PXE into a single, portable blob of code - a more viable alternative to pxelinux. [To the pxelinux fans out there - I have nothing against pxelinux as such, other than the fact of its reliance on PXE]. Notes... Using the other PXE APIs (UDP, TFTP) seems like a really bad idea - the commercial implementations have a reputation for poor quality. I know you weren't suggesting this, but I'll mention it anyway. Stick to just the driver. Although an UNDI driver would be more convenient for thin clients and e.g. LTSP, the choice of using an EB driver is still needed. Obviously the UNDI driver only exists during a PXE boot, but using EB-via-PXE does NOT mean that only UNDI should be used once a UNDI driver exists. PXE implementations don't handle multiple NICs, so for >1 nic the EB drivers are required. And finally, though a UNDI driver is the obvious next step, the world *also* needs PXE-via-EB, as well as EB-via-PXE, i.e. a PXE API based on the existing EB driver code which allows existing PXE NBPs to run. So, Joe, if you're looking for *another* project after the UNDI driver, how about porting NILO (which currently uses OSkit) as an Etherboot module? :) [*] http://www.intel.com/labs/manage/wfm/wfmspecs.htm |

Don't worry. When I am just skimming things I tend to not consider those cases, but when I am actually working it they get covered. Right now I don't think I can do any auto-generation of the ISA drivers because there is still a fair amount of potential code in the Makefile and other places that is per driver. But covering the pci and newer drivers should be straight forward. In 5.1 I have already moved the pci_ids into the driver files so auto-generating config.c would be moving in the opposite direction, and it would would make it very hard to have a multiple driver etherboot.

Hello, What is probed by Etherboot to detect if the rom image is the correct one for the LAN Interface? I have an Ethernet Express Pro 100 Card, probably Model Nr. 82562ET. When I saw that Etherboot said "Probing...[EEPRO100] No adapter found", I started to investigate and found out that my card has PCI device ID 0x8086,0x103b instead of the number that is given in the file src/NIC. So I added another card to that file and named it "id103b" with PCI Id 0x8086,0x103b. Then I called "make clean", "make Roms" and "make". When I tried the image id103b.rom, the boot was still aborted with the message "No adapter found". Therefore I want to ask here the above question. Christoph |

I have been on other things for a while but had a chance to look at this again. Recap: on the smartcore P3, etherboot 5.0.7 fails because all inw() operations return 0. Two inw()s in a row sometimes return the right value on the second one. I thought this might be a memory config problem so I brought down memtest 3.0, and am now running it. Unfortunately, it runs just fine. Memory configuration, at least judging by the memtest results, is correct on this machine. I'm up to test 4, running for 7 minutes now, and usually memory problems if they existed would have shown up by now. So, back to the original issue: inw operations acting wrong. The first inw() always reads 0, the seconds reads what looks like the right value. Anybody have an idea on what kind of north/south configuration problems could make this happen? ron |

Hmm. It looks like I have probably done something that broke the lilo prefix. The relocation warnings mean ld doesn't like it. I can reproduce it here, but I'm not quite ready to track down what happened. I have been tracking a really iritating BIOS bug all weekend that looks like it will turn out to be a problem with supplying power to the machines. Anyway the multicast code works great when booting a 1000 node cluster. Now if all of the other issues were ironed out. Eric |
