Could someone tell me what the state of the PXE code is when trying to use it with Linux?? When I try bin32/e1000-ecop.rom, the code produced works fine :) when I try bin32/e1000-ecop.pxe, the code produced doesn't have the 55 AA signature and the file seems very small. It also doesn't work. Incidentally I believe the MAX_BOOTP_RETRIES in etherboot.h should be reduced to say 5, the current value of 20 results in a timeout of about 30,000,000 seconds or about 9.5 years. 5 gives about 5 minutes. The other MAX_RETRY values may also need to be reduced. I have updated makerom with a new compiler flag to produce ROMS in increments of 2K which is the size that modern BIOSes search in. This is only important if the amount of option ROM space is limited. I have made a number of other small changes which I will document and feed back if anyone is interested.
