Re: [Etherboot-developers] On-board eepro100

[Christoph P. <chr...@al...>]

As described in the problem report of Yedidyah Bar-David, DHCP
request is not working, and the first DHCP request is done
in Etherboot, before GRUB can be loaded.

I often see the described effect, when the interrupt is not 
working, but etherboot does not use interrupts ...

But IMO it is a problem special to this one board. Check the
BIOS setup, PCI settings, etc, etc.....

With friendly regards
