Thanks very much for sharing your experience. I have LinuxBIOS option with my etherboot payload. Actually, I see a similar issue with my ADLO payload as well. Must be something else.

after putting some debug statements, it seems the LinuxBIOS resets after the jmp instruction is boot.c ( " jmp *%%eax\n\t" in jmp_to_elf_entry) fails. I am using ETHERBOOT payload with IDE support. Is it because the ram initialization is not proper or something, has anyone experienced this kind of problem.
Any pointers, why it should fail over here.

I had the same thing after updating from etherbot 5.1.7 to 5.1.8 when I forgot to change the config file to build for LinuxBIOS instead of PC bios. I assume etherboot tries to call some intXX services early in that case which might cause the reboot. Did not investigate further after it worked though
