Hi, I am using PXELinux on different maschines and it workes fine, a really good software. Bu now I got a board MSI-6378 with an ADMtek AN983b Chip. The boot procedure mostly stop while transfering my bzImage (900kb) or my initrd (2.5 MB). The hanging ist always at a different time. Sometime the system succeeds in booting and then works fine. Booting with etherboot und pxe always is ok. Even own bigger images (5MB) I created with the 3Com-Tool imgedit are ok. It seems to be a problem of pxelinux and an983b. I am using syslinux 1.62 the version that came with SuSE8.0. Any hints?

The system still is mostly hanging while transfering bzImage or the initrd. The time is always different and sometimes the transer succeeds. If I try the pxe-File from rom-o-matic and etherboot, everything is fine. I am using pxelinux with different cards and it always worked fine. Only an983b give trouble with pxelinux. There were some problems with linux-drivers (tulip) for an983b in the past, maybe some are left within pxelinux.
