My etherboot(5.0.9) payload on linuxbios failed to initialize RTL8139 successfully,but the payload
The only inialization linuxbios would need to do is assign the 8139 an IRQ. But etherboot uses polling and doesn't depend on interrupts. The problem you're experiencing isn't something I can recall, but this patch might help. The etherboot driver for the 8139 and linux itself have the meaning of the interrupt status bits wrong. diff -Nur etherboot-5.0.10/src/misc.c etherboot-5.0.10-new/src/misc.c --- etherboot-5.0.10/src/misc.c Sun Mar 9 03:17:15 2003 +++ etherboot-5.0.10-new/src/misc.c Wed Jul 16 09:45:26 2003 @@ -282,7 +282,7 @@ enum { Disable_A20 = 0x2400, Enable_A20 = 0x2401, Query_A20_Status = 0x2402, Query_A20_Support = 0x2403 } Int0x15Arg;
