Folks, I have a bootrom which cannot boot the local system. It hangs completely after pressing "L". Network boot works fine and floppy boot works (both "N" and "L"). System: Etherboot 5.0.4 and an epic100 card (SMC EtherPower II/10/100) with a 512kbit flash memory chip (I couldn't find anything smaller - did you know that small size flash memories <= 256kbits seem to be endangered species?) I'm pretty sure it doesn't clash with anything else in himem as I removed all other cards. I get the message ROM segment 0xca80 length 0x5800 reloc 0x94000 If I press "N" it works, "L" justs hangs the system. Any idea how to debug why this isn't working? BTW using a floppy I get ROM segment 0x8000 length 0x4000 reloc 0x94000 and both "N" and "L" work. Strange that the lengths are different (0x4000->0x5800). The bootrom is burned using epic100.rom (16384 bytes) exactly as created. P.S. Who sells 256kbit/128kbit 32DIP flash memory? -- Richard Chan <csh...@ds...> DSO National Laboratories 20 Science Park Drive Singapore 118230 Tel: 7727045 Fax: 7766476 |
