I have released Etherboot 4.7.23 at http://etherboot.sourceforge.net It would be very much appreciated if any breakage with PnP BIOS booting due to change number 3 are reported. Conversely if BIOSes that didn't detect before now do, we'd like to know that too. Thanks. Changes in this release: + Reintroduce the old Via-Rhine PCI IDs into file NIC and give the corresponding ROM images -old suffixes, in case some people are using the old chips. + Peter Kögel contributed patches to the SIS900 driver to make it work for the SIS640e/SIS730s. + Charles Dobson pointed out that when booting from a PnP BIOS, the code should not hook or restore the INT19H entry point. Put hooking code inside #ifndef PCI_PNP_HEADER and changed entry point in PnP structure from start19h to blockmove. + I have one report that gas 2.91 doesn't assemble loader.S because it can't handle all the 16-bit code. Since the benefits of using gas for all assembly code are great, and gas 2.95 has been out there for a long time, I regretfully say to affected users: upgrade your tools. Otherwise there may be a workaround by specifying the opcodes literally. I leave it to interested parties to try. If you do this, put in an #ifdef GAS291, naturally. + Updated contrib/tftp-hpa to 0.16 from ftp.kernel.org.
