[Etherboot-developers] SuSE and mknbi

[Michael B. <mb...@fe...>]

I've just discovered that the RPM of mknbi that's in SuSE 8.2 claims to be 
mknbi-1.4.0 but is actually built from vanilla mknbi-1.2 sources.

I'm posting this here in case anyone happens to be using SuSE 8.2 and
wondering why images tagged with SuSE's "it's version 1.4, honest" mknbi
package won't boot with Etherboot 5.1...

Genuine version 1.4 packages of mknbi are available, for anyone who wants 
them, from

http://www.fensystems.co.uk/downloads/RPMS/mandrake9.1/mknbi-1.4.0-100fs.i586.rpm
http://www.fensystems.co.uk/downloads/RPMS/suse8.1/mknbi-1.4.0-100fs.i586.rpm
http://www.fensystems.co.uk/downloads/RPMS/suse8.2/mknbi-1.4.0-100fs.i586.rpm

(The high release tag is to force it to obsolete SuSE's own package of the 
same name).
