I mean if you build tg3filoide_disk.zelf, it will confuse the Etherboot. So you can only build tg3filo.zelf or tg3ide_disk.zelf.
Do you have spare IDE disk? If So format the disk into ext3 or fat format and copy the .elf file into it.
Then connect that to your MB do test.

Hi,
I am unable to get my kernel & initrd off of the usb stick. I was reading through the documents and came across this line in README.etherboot_in_filo:
You can not use filo and ide_disk at the same time.
Can you tell me what this means? Do I need to rebuild filo without IDE support to get USB support?
Just to recap: My kernel & initrd fails as the initrd execution complaining of a bad CRC when I use the elf as a payload to load with with filo. I then try uda1:/kernel initrd=/boot/initrd root=/dev/sda1 and I get those td errors. I then tried your ramfs.elf and I get the same behavior are my elf image with the CRC complaining when the initrd portion is executed. Note, I have confirmed my elf works with etherboot, just not filo yet....
The CRC error makes me think that the image did not get loaded correctly by the elf boot. Can you confirm you used Eric's mkelfImage2-5? Here is my dump of the readelf -a.

Hi,
Yes, I did, but I don't have a DHCP environment so it kept searching at the DHCP phase.
This problem is odd. I can boot my elf fine with etherboot, but not with filo. I can boot my kernel fine with filo, but not the initrd. I can even boot your kernel of the ram.elf you sent me, but when it hits the initrd it fails with the same error as mine.
I suspect either my filo is not configured like yours or that there is a problem loading a mulitpart elf (kernel & initrd in filo). I'm confused as to why filo didn't just use the etherboot portion of elf_load. It could be you were on the, "bleeding" edge? ;)
Can you tell me how much memory you have in your working system? I have just one cpu and 512meg memory. Curious if loading it high & it runs out of memory or something like that.

Here are the results:
I took my known working hard drive and stuck it in the device to test with filo. The results were the same! Meaning a known working kernel & intird on my hard drive failed at the initrd portion, again with the crc error.
I'm now going to try a basic etherboot test without filo to see if I can read off of the hard drive, just as a baseline.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Note, I have confirmed my elf works with etherboot, just not filo yet....
The CRC error makes me think that the image did not get loaded correctly by the elf boot. Can you confirm you used Eric's mkelfImage2-5? Here is my dump of the readelf -a.

Hi,
Yes, I did, but I don't have a DHCP environment so it kept searching at the DHCP phase.
This problem is odd. I can boot my elf fine with etherboot, but not with filo. I can boot my kernel fine with filo, but not the initrd. I can even boot your kernel of the ram.elf you sent me, but when it hits the initrd it fails with the same error as mine.
I suspect either my filo is not configured like yours or that there is a problem loading a mulitpart elf (kernel & initrd in filo). I'm confused as to why filo didn't just use the etherboot portion of elf_load. It could be you were on the, "bleeding" edge? ;)
Can you tell me how much memory you have in your working system? I have just one cpu and 512meg memory. Curious if loading it high & it runs out of memory or something like that.
Thanks, Dave

I'm using reiserfs, I'll try ext2. I'm really running out of ideas.
For the initrd? I believe only ext2, minix, cramfs and perhaps one other filesystem is actually supported for initrd:s.

Hi,
No no no, the disk. The initrd is ext2.
Tried changing the disk to ext2 and still get the same results.
This did work, but is not what I need. 1. Etherboot the filo.elf (4.2) as a payload 2. Run the filo.elf 3. It is able to load my kernel & initrd.elf, only off of the hd, not the usb stick.
Arg!
My setup uses etherboot as a primary to get the kernel & intird as an elf. But if that connection dies I want it to use the kernel & initrd elf on my usb stick. This first part works just fine. It is finding a way to get the second part that is taking me weeks! :(

the few times I've seen the crc error is the initrd is configured too small. I still think you might have a config problem here.
Put some debug prints in the initrd code and try to zoom in better to what's going on.

That's interesting. Too small? Uncompressed it is: ls -la : 8192000 2004-07-13 15:37 initrd
I have my ram disk set to 65536. I made it bigger just to be sure. Are you saying the initrd and the ramdisk_size must be equal?
If so then this would explain why Yhlu's and my elf's did not work. I'll try an exact ramdisk_size and initrd.
Thanks, Dave

I now have a matching kernel ramdisk size of 8192k and initrd of the same size.
It is failing the crc check in the kernel lib/inflate.c. I haven't probed further than that. Next step is to see what the kernel thinks the initrd is.

no, now that I see what you're doing I'm lost as to the problem. When I've had this problem I just jam debug printks into the kernel and see why it's really failing. It always boils down to a failure to read or copy out the ramdisk image.

Have you tried booting bzImage kernel with FILO? If it succeeds the culprit is my version of ELF boot code. Anyways I would like to see full DEBUG_ALL output of FILO.
