Hello all,
maybe this is the wrong forum for this question, but I would
really appreciate if someone could help me solving the following:
I have a eepro100+ NIC which has this PXE boot feature, so I
set up a bootp and dhcp-server und also configured tftp.
When I try to netboot my client-machine, it successfully gets
its IP address and the NIC shows the loading of the kernel image
via tftp. After this the machine just hangs.
I used etherboot-4.4.3 which has netboot-0.8.1 as a sub-package.
I prepared my kernel image which 'mknbi-linux' as mentioned in
the documentation.
The funny thing is that when I _don't_ use mknbi-linux, I can
see the 'Loading.' message from the floppy boot-loader.
Mayne mknbi-linux is not modifying the kernel image corectly
so that it doesn't have the correct entrypoint for booting.
Are there important changes to the startup-code that netboot
doesn't know about ?
What kind of modifications are needed to get a bootable
kernel-image ?
I _really_ appreciate any help, I studied etherboot, NILO,
and various mailing lists but found nothing.
thanks in advance,
Patrick
