[Etherboot-developers] Etherboot 4.7.22 (5.0RC2) released

[Ken Y. <ke...@nl...>]

I have released Etherboot 4.7.22 at http://etherboot.sourceforge.net

Changes from 4.7.21:

+ Preston Wilson pointed out that ds.internic.net should be replaced by
www.ietf.org in documentation URLs. Also RFC1090 should be RFC1094
(NFS).

+ Marty Connor pointed out some broken links due to the split in
documentation. Also comments don't match code in lance.c for change just
above. Also passed on a bug found by a user of rom-o-matic.net where
tftp was not defined when ANSIESC was defined. My mistake, I made it a
static function when it needs to be exported to ansiesc.c.

+ Christoph Plattner found that the Etherboot startup messes up the
flags while testing for a 386+. This doesn't affect Etherboot but it can
cause the loaded operating system to crash. Fix: pushf before and popf
after the CPU model testing.

+ Jean-Jacques Michel contributed patches to the via-rhine.c driver to
make it work for the VT6102 model as used on some DFE530-TX Rev.A3 NICs.

+ Luigi Rizzo sent in a fixed boot1a.s that actually works on HDs now.

+ Stefan Furtmayr sent in a list of URLs to TFTP servers for NT. Added
to directory contrib/Diskless-From-NT.

+ Paul Whittaker contributed a HOWTO in HTML format on booting with NT
as the server.  Added to directory contrib/Diskless-From-NT.

+ CJ pointed out that the advertised message size is > 1500 bytes.
Define MAX_BOOTP_EXTLEN so that the size of the structure matches the
Ethernet payload size.

There are a couple more fixes in the pipeline, don't be discouraged if I
haven't included yours in this release. Keep those bug reports coming!
