Re: [coreboot] etherboot problem..

Just an update / search for more clues..

I copied over a 2.4 .config file this time, and did a make oldconfig and
with your console commands added to the append statement.  I did finally
get some different output.  See the tail end of the output below. ( I
have attached the entire log file )

Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 2.88M AMI BIOS, fd1 is unknown type 12 (usb?)
FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077

If I take out the printk command, I will see no output..  So with this,
does this give anyone any clues?

Thanx,
