Linuxbios + Etherboot + tagged Kernel Image

[Yap Ee Huey]

Hi hackers :

I am a little bit confused here after building linuxbios,
etherboot and making a tagged kernel image with mknbi.
Hopefully I can get some help here :

I have made ide_disk.elf, (22k)
I tag bzImage with mknbi-linux, (888k)
I have built linuxbios.rom (64k)

I have 256k bios, so the kernel should be put somewhere on
my harddisk. If i am not wrong my ide_disk.elf should be
placed at the first sector of my bios rom.

My question is: where should I put my Kernel Image and
linuxbios.rom so that ide_disk.elf will know where to get
and load them ?

Do I need to modify the -DDEFAULT_BOOTFILE option which
defaulted to tftp:///tftpboot/kernel ?

Thanks a lot !

best regards,
eehuey

one quick question: are you using etherboot to load the kernel image?

Hi,

what version of etherboot are you using, I tried with etherboot5.0.9 and
etherboot5.0.10 but "make ide_disk.elf" doesn't work, neither does "make
bin32/ide_disk.elf"

Regards,
Shubhangi

mostly etherboot version that we use is 5.0.6 . plus the AA patch.
or if you want to get ide_disk.elf. you may try the development vesion. that
is 5.1.8 now.

Thanks, for the information. I got Etherboot 5.1.8 to build now.
    Do I need to change anything in the etherboot Config file before
compilation, as it was required with the etherboot 5.0.x versions.

Regards,
Shubhangi
