Today I have been doing a bunch of tests. My test machine has 128mb of RAM and I was testing different size images and different network card/drivers to check for problems. Here are the results Realtek 8139 card with rtl8139 driver: 43mb,20mb, 19.3mb, 19.1mb, 17.6mb, 16.2mb, 15.2mb image files all booted OK. Realtek 8029 card with rtl8029 driver: 43mb,20mb, 19.3mb, 19.1mb, 17.6mb, 16.2mb, 15.2mb image files all booted OK also. Dlink DWL-520 with PRISM driver: 43mb failed, 20mb failed, 19.3mb ok, 19.1mb ok, 17.6mb,16.2mb ok, 15.2mb ok. It seems their seems to be a limitation in file size in the PRISM driver. Somewhere between 19.3mb-20mb's, the driver cannot allocate space or initialize the data from the image file. Hopefully we could fix this issue? [sooner the better..hehehe] |
