[Etherboot-developers] lilo images not working in 5.1.3?

[Georg B. <Geo...@po...>]

Hi,

I have problems to create .lilo images from the current cvs development 
version of etherboot.

When started, the image complains:

"No ROM signature"

and then stops. This is because the code in liloprefix.S does not find the 
magic bytes 0xAA55 in the etherboot section.

I think the reason is that in 5.0.x the .rom image was appended to 
liloprefix.bin, and in 5.1.3 the .img image is appended. The latter does 
not contain the signature, the former does. I tried both to disable the 
check and to generate the .lilo image from the .rom image instead the .img 
file, but in both cases the client hangs after starting the image.

Does anybody know the reason for the .rom -> .img change or what has to be 
done to make the .lilo image work?


Greetings,

Georg
