#186: 3com 3c905tx / gpxe boot problem -----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: jeroenkrabbendam@… | Owner: stepan@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: coreboot | Keywords: gpxe Dependencies: | Patch Status: there is no patch -----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Although (or: just because) novice in the field, I encountered some problems with netbooting with coreboot.
Mobo's tried: Asus P2B, VTech with bios id ITE8671-2A69KV3IC-00. All mobo's boot '''harddisk''' fine with Asus P2B / Gigabyte GA-6BX{CE} respectively.
NIC ROM is started, and loads the kernel by tftp. This is vvvveeeerrrryyy slow! Although loading, the kernel is never able to start itself. Same kernel on HDU is no problem at all (GRUB2)
Note: the gpxe-image is on the nic, coreboot payload is seabios.
