And it works like a charm! --------------------- 8< ---------------------------------- Loading 192.168.253.1:/boot/pxeboot ..(PXE)..................................... ................................................................................ ................................................................................ ................................................................................ ................................................................................ .......................................................................done PXE Loader 1.00 Building the boot loader arguments Relocating the loader and the BTX Starting the BTX loader BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Consoles: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive C: is disk0 PXE version 2.1, real mode entry point @9f00:0680 int=0000000d err=00000000 efl=00020002 eip=00000916 eax=0009cb90 ebx=000008eb ecx=00000000 edx=00003c54 esi=00000000 edi=00000000 ebp=0009cf62 esp=000003d2 cs=9f00 ds=9f00 es=0000 fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=9cb9 cs:eip=66 0f 01 97 52 00 0f 20-c0 0c 01 0f 22 c0 66 ff af 6a 00 66 b8 10 00 8e-d0 89 ec 8e d8 8e c0 8e ss:esp=00 00 00 00 71 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 e2 f6 09 00 00 9f b9 9c 00 00 00 00-00 00 00 00 00 00 02 02 BTX halted --------------------- 8< ---------------------------------- Nearly like a charm. Well, the PXE part does work now, but the BTX part is not good. It doesn't matter if I use an pxeboot from an 6.3 system or an 7.0 system. This happens with both emulators/qemu as with emulators/qemu-devel. Any idea where to look now?
