[syslinux] Problems with eepro100 or BroadCom NetXtreme and s yslinux 2.04
This sounds kind of like what happened with me for earlier attempts at using syslinux. Skip using HPA's tools entirely and dd if=vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k count=1 and make sure that the kernel runs from a floppy disk. There'll be no file system or anything, but you'll make sure that your kernel isn't faulty. If it doesn't execute, then you can avoid the syslinux/pxelinux variable. -Michael Bendzick michael.b at logicpd.com www.logicpd.com This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and is protected by law.

Something like that between the lines of "-": ----------------------------------- boot: Loading linux .......................................... ----------------------------------- Tomorrow I will check it again and send better infos. At home I have not such a system and I have no access to the RSB-Board of the RX300 from home. Is there something like a verbose mode in pxelinux? -- MfG, Holger Baust -- Holger Baust Holger.Baust at freenet-ag.de freenet.de AG Tel.: +49 211 53087 0 WillstaetterStr. 13, D-40549 Duesseldorf Fax.: +49 211 53087 500 Vorstand: Eckhard Spoerr (Vors.), Axel Krieger Amtsgericht Hamburg Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrates: Prof. Dr. Helmut Thoma HRB 74048 Die Anonymit?t ist eine Trags?ule unserer Gesellschaft: Sie hilft uns zu tun, was wir nicht lassen k?nnen, was uns aber geniert.(Gabriel Laub) Multitasking ist, wenn ein Computer mehrere Leute mit Arbeit versorgt. _______________________________________________ SYSLINUX mailing list Submissions to SYSLINUX at zytor.com Unsubscribe or set options at: http://www.zytor.com/mailman/listinfo/syslinux Please do not send private replies to mailing list traffic.
