Guys the etherboot users list is really the right forum for this kind of question.

I don't know. When the link detection code was written it was tested and it worked here. Except when the link really is not connected I have not seen code like that fail forever.

Eric,
Is ethboot 5.2.0 support Broadcom 5703X? (deviceid = 0x16a7).
For the S2885's onboard 5703X, it says: EBUSY err.
Looking at the code it is should work. I just stripped down the appropriate driver. I do admit I have not tested 5.2 yet. But I don't see why anything would have broken.

Hmm. I have once or twice seen the problem of fetching invariants of the chip. But something is noticeably different from the tree I have because I do not have an line that will print err=-1 in the tree I am looking at.
