Upstream etherboot accepted a patch (attached) to fix wrapping of the TFTP block index. Without the patch we are unable to boot recent Solaris over the network in HVM guests (because our miniroot now exceeds 64k blocks). Whilst unstable has moved on to gpxe (which doesn''t suffer from this problem), it would be useful to us for this to be fixed in the stable series. Any preferences on the best approach? I can submit changes which include an updated ROM image, the patch and scaffolding to apply it. Or something else. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Create a patches/ subdir of etherboot/ and apply patches therein just as we do to gpxe in xen-unstable. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
