Hello
I'm still struggling with the Tyan Tiger MPX (aka S2466). I tested this time with the programs I downloaded from ftp.lnxi.com, compiling from the tar packet and using etherboot 5.1.5 as payload. It loads the kernel from the tftp server but when it should jump to the kernel, it just dies. I also tried with the pre-made rom image from the rpm-package, with the same result. If I load etherboot from floppy, it gets the kernel from the tftp server and starts it up ok. Any ideas how to proceed ?
I can think of two possibilities.
- You don't have serial console support in your kernel, or it is not properly configured so you do not see what is going on.
- You may have run into the recent mkelfImage bug, that I just fixed.

Hello
I just got it to work. My problem was that I was generating the kernel image with mkelf-linux and not with mkelfImage. (Actually I did try also mkelfImage at some phase but then I didn't have the console=ttyS0 option appended. So it worked but I didn't know it :-)
Thank you for your reply
