[Etherboot-developers] Problems Booting 5.1 cvs

[Timothy L. <tl...@ro...>]

Hi
=A0
I just committed changes to the 3c515 to 5.1 to bring it up to date and
it compiles fine.=A0 However, I am not able to boot it or any other =
driver
from 5.1.=A0 On my 486, it does not display done on the first line and
then reboots.=A0 On my Pentium 200 it displays done but reboots =
anyway.=A0
No debugging information is displayed on the serial console.
=A0
The last time that I can confirm that 5.1 booted fine was on Feb =
18th.=A0
Any ideas?
=A0

Not yet.  I guess when I have a chance I will have to test on my 386 and
486 and see if I can reproduce it.

What kind of image are you booting?
Tagged/ELF/ etc.=20=20

There are quite a few outstanding possibilities.
gatea20 issues.
illegal instructions.
relocation issues.
nics not being shut off.
Is it format dependent?

I did:

make bin/3c509.fd0

I tried to boot Etherboot from the floppy but only the first line was
displayed.  It is not getting to the point of even displaying the second
line or outputting to the serial console.  This is very early in the
boot process.
