Hello,

  With all due respect do you really think that an extra cpu would fix
this problem?  I've looked at filo and to the best of my knowledge I
did not see any SMP related calls in there.  I sincerely appreciate
your help, but I do not think this is the culprit.

Thanks,
Dave

Can you get two cpus for the S2885?  I would send my rom image to you for test.

Hi,

  No no no, the disk.  The initrd is ext2.

  Tried changing the disk to ext2 and still get the same results.

  This did work, but is not what I need.
1.   Etherboot the filo.elf (4.2) as a payload
2.  Run the filo.elf
3.  It is able to load my kernel & initrd.elf, only off of the hd, not the usb stick.

Arg!

  My setup uses etherboot as a primary to get the kernel & intird as an elf.
But if that connection dies I want it to use the kernel & initrd elf on my
usb stick.  This first part works just fine.  It is finding a way to get the second
part that is taking me weeks!  :(

For the initrd? I believe only ext2, minix, cramfs and perhaps one
other filesystem is actually supported for initrd:s.
