OK; this is what I've done:

1. Retrieved the mkelfImage program (v2.7) from

ftp://ftp.lnxi.com

2.

mkelfImage --command-line="ro root=/dev/md3 quiet splash console=tty0
console=ttyS0,115200n8" \
            --kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-amd64-generic" \
            --initrd="/boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-9-amd64-generic" \
            --output="/boot/linuxbios_2.6.12-9-amd64-generic.elf"

3. Adjusted etherboot-5.4.1/file/Config

AUTOBOOT_FILE = "hde1:/linuxbios_2.6.12-9-amd64-generic.elf"

4.

cd etherboot-5.4.1/src
 make bin/tg3--filo.elf

5. Adjusted targets/tyan/s2881/Config.lb to point to the new payload
(tg3--filo.elf)

6. Tried booting - it actually got to a login prompt this time, but as I hit
enter on the kbd, it crashed again. Log is attached.

So that did not help. I'm going to try your next suggestion now.

Thanks,
Ward.
