I can confirm that this seems to have resolved my booting issue. So right now, compiling with the RELOCATE option will not work? Which brings up the question of which drivers are currently patched for relocation? If you remind me of the required changes, I can take a look at 3c515 and sundance (maybe even getting it to work). I can also take a look at some of the drivers for any of the NICs that I have. A push to fix any remaining relocation issues might be a good idea. |

Ken, please note that the eepro100 fix does not fix every revision. :-( If you want this for 5.0.10 I could have another look into this, but it will probably take a few days until I have enough time.

I'm intrigued. Please go ahead, it can wait a few days. My foremost concern is that it does not break any NICs that work. It seemed reasonable that one should initialise the chip before setting the stats area in all cases. |

You can check that relocation works by booting DOS or another ROM. It's just Linux that doesn't work (mknbi bug). Did you ever get the Sundance to work, relocatable or not? If you are still hungry for work, a pcnet32 (32 bit Lance) driver needs to be ported from Linux. The 24 bit Lance cannot be made relocatable without a lot of messiness, Linux has two drivers too. |

That should be enough, but the current cvs for 5.1 does not work with Etherboot 5.1. It reports that it is OS/2 or some other unsupported os. I will develop on 5.0 for now. Hopefully someone can sort out the vmware issue in 5.1 Tim |

What exactly does not work? I just used 5.1 to load a ltsp kernel. The kernel got as far as trying to load the 3c515 driver. I don't remember retagging the kernel (if its even possible) so I am unsure what does not work. > Did you ever get the Sundance to work, relocatable or not? I will be giving it another whirl now that floppy loader works for me. I would be happy to send a sundance card to anyone who can help find the issue. > If you are still hungry for work, a pcnet32 (32 bit Lance) driver needs > to be ported from Linux.

Hm, I don't currently have a pcnet32 based card or even know which cards are based on that chipset. I am willing to pick up a new sundance based card to trade with someone for a pcnet32 based card. I would like to finish the sundance driver first, but if I can attract someone to help find the issue I would be happy to move on to another driver. Tim |

I tracked the problem to a particular day: cvs -q update -D "2003-03-09 23:59:59" works fine cvs -q update -D "2003-03-09 23:59:59" does not work and displays the same behavior as today's cvs. I will track it further later today and let you know the gcc version.
