RE: [Etherboot-developers] [COMMIT] 5.1.2+ boot from disk.

[Timothy L. <tl...@ro...>]

What I did:

cd etherboot-5.0/src
make bin32/3c509.fd0
make bin32/3c509.rom
mknbi-linux bin32/3c509.rom > /tftpboot/lts/bootrom

reconfigured /etc/dhcpd.conf for the nic in question to grab the bootrom
file

I booted with the 3c509.fd0 floppy from above and verified that version 5.0
could load itself.  Then I reconfigured /etc/dhcpd.conf  while the bootrom
was looping and booting itself and picked up the ltsp vmlinuz kernel and
restarted dhcpd.  It worked, it transfered the kernel and boot as far as
dhclient.

Then I:

cd etherboot-5.1.2rc3/src
make bin32/3c509.fd0

when booting from the floppy I received the following:

blah..

Searching for server (DHCP)...
..Me:192.168.2.11, Server 192.168.2.6, Gateway 192.168.2.6
Laoding 192.168.2.6:lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-5 ...(NBI)
segment [00092800,00094000) does not fit in an memory region
error: not a valid image
Unable to load file.
<sleep>

I reconfigured /etc/dhcpd.conf to point to the bootrom file that worked with
5.0 and received the following:

Searching for server (DHCP)...
..Me:192.168.2.11, Server 192.168.2.6, Gateway 192.168.2.6
Laoding 192.168.2.6:/lts/bootrom ...(NBI)...............Unable to load file.
<sleep>

I hope this helps.

BTW, the current cvs will not compile for me, it complains about a missing
separator at Roms:370
