I have big problem with DISKLESS box with "Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet" cards. Does anybody use (successfully) this configuration? I have one compiled kernel (2.2.X or -CURRENT: all is the same) for both SMC cards (ed0) and EtherExpress cards (fxp0). And if I try to boot this kernel on computer with SMC card, everything is ok. But if I try to boot exactly the same kernel on computer with EtherExpress card, kernel stops in BOOTP stage: bootpc_init: using network interface 'fxp0' Bootpc testing starting bootpc hw address is 0:aa:0:bc:af:59 and after this, I see only repeated error messages: BOOTP timeout for server 0xffffffff fxp0: device timeout (It is possible no BOOTP packet was sent - it looks like that there is bug in kernel in initialization stage for fxp0.) I use "fbsdboot.exe -D kernel" command from DOS line. Note that normal kernel on fxp0 works perfectly, why not DISKLESS? Any suggestions? Or have I use another OS for these boxes? Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rudolf Cejka E-mail: xcejka00@dcse.fee.vutbr.cz Technical University of Brno, Faculty of El. Engineering and Comp.
