I tried to reflect his debug info to the users list but etherboot-users has a stupid size limit and kicked it out. The most telling message was: ld -Ttext 0x10000 --oformat binary -o bin/start16.bin bin/start16.o cat bin/rloader.bin bin/start16.bin bin/tg3.img > bin/tg3.rom /usr/bin/perl ./util/makerom.pl -i'tg3.rom 5.1.7 Etherboot (GPL)' bin/tg3.rom BIOS extension ROM Image did not start with 0x55 0xAA Checksum fails The gcc version was: gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) Beyond that everything looked good at first glance. ..... time passess .... O.k. I have reproduced an error with the tg3 driver. If I don't compress it I consistently get RD error back from boot1a.s I can only load it from a floppy after compression. 36K versus 64K. I was building with 3.2 so this may have something to do with size issues. The configuration uses was the default configuration with a minor edit to force using gcc-3.2 for everything. Eric |
