[Etherboot-developers] 3C905CX-TXM flashing with cromutil hangs

[Hans-Peter J. <hp...@ur...>]

Hi,

I just tried to flash etherboot onto this NIC, but failed. cromutil says,
it erases the flash successfully, but it doesn't. Factory boot image can=20
still be read, and booted from. Flash chip is an AMD AM29F002BT-70JC.

Searching the web reveals some similar problems, but no solutions yet.=20
Does anybody succeed in this. The former model 3C905C-TX-M (which isn't=20
manufactured anymore) doesn't have those problems.

Alternatively, how far is PXE support on linux? What disadvantages I=20
need to deal with (kernel boot parameter, initrd)?=20

TIA,
Pete
