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. MD5 sums: ad60ec059932d655f3bb106c49560146 etherboot-4.7.22.tar.bz2 8d26e7f447f2cd1ba2896d4ab08fac10 etherboot-4.7.22.tar.gz 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! |
