How did you perform the boot and what's the hardware of yours? The problems I reported about seem to occur only to our AMD based systems - not to Intel based systems but the comparison is hairy due to the fact the only diskless station based on an Intel CPU is a P5 architecture - while the AMD based systems all have DURON or TBird CPUs and modern main PCBs. My next task is to compile all the stuff without any kind of fancying and then rebuild the pxeboot image again. Maybe the compiler got some headache on K7 systems ... :>On Sun, Aug 05, 2001 at 08:39:56PM +0200, Hartmann, O. wrote: :>[...] :>> But pxeboot in /boot/ seems still broken!
