RE: Opteron / Tyan motherboard fault on boot.

[YhLu]

Please let me know more info
1. How do you get the source code?
2. what's pay load?  Etherboot version.
3. You may need to mkelfImage 2.5 to build the elf and put that in
/tftpboot.

Regards

No problem either way, I just want to be clear before I start down this
