All, I think I recently updated the FreeBSD loader on my CDS that has U-Boot version 1.3.2-rc1 on it (yes, that sounds rather fuzzy :-) In any case, the latest PowerPC U-Boot loader is having a problem with netbooting. I see packets being transmitted (BOOTP), but none of the responses seem to arrive at the loader. Then the ARP resolution is attempted, which fails as well. I'm assuming there's an incompatibility between my U-Boot and the loader so I tried building U-Boot on my FreeBSD box, but that's failing due to FDT fodder in tools/mkimage. In short: Linuxisms. So, before I dive into U-Boot build issues and waste my time on that, can someone tell me if I *do* need to upgrade and which U-Boot version (at minimum) I need? Also: did U-Boot grow support to boot from IDE/ATA that's in the VIA chipset on the mainboard? Thanks, -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
