[Etherboot-developers] strange things while booting memtest

[Wojciech P. <wo...@te...>]

tried to boot memtest (link from etherboot distribution page)

both give same effects. boots fine, then screen gets "fantastic colours"
then i can't see anything on screen right, but something is going on, once
i could see counting percents like memtest would in fact test memory.

after CTRL-ALT-DEL i won't able to boot my normal kernel (netbsd) - it
got loaded and then rebooted, in loop.

after powerdown/powerup cycle it booted fine.

to make sure it's not because of my patches, i tested unpatched etherboot.
same effects with memtest.

is my PC not really PC compatible (it's siemens nixdorf 486/66)?
