Hi, as a new user to pxelinux I'm having trouble booting an Asus P55T2P4 from an Intel Etherexpress Pro card with PXE bootrom. I'm using pxelinux 2.04 (tried 2.05pre2 as well) with a Redhat 8.0 kernel (2.4.18) and ramdisk image (for pure testing purposes). The Mainboard I use is a P55T2P4, Rev. 2, newest Bios 0207, 80MB Ram, PCI VGA card and the EEPro. dhcp,tftp work fine, pxelinux loads the kernel and the ramdisk image, but decompression of the kernel crashes the system: ------------------------------ Loading vmlinuz Loading initrd.img Ready. Uncompressing Linux... crc error -- System halted ------------------------------ I ran memory and cache tests to verify the hardware but could not find any problems. Using the same network card in a different system (Pentium 2) works fine, the kernel loads, decompresses and boots the ramdisk. Is there anything else I can try (except for dumping the old Pentium 1 system)? Regards, Andreas

Of special interest is the version of the PXE rom. Is the eepro a card or is it on-board?

This probobly won't help all that much, but generally, crc is used to verify file integrity. An error may mean there is a problem in the transfer or the kernel itself.
