I just sent you my tar ball of Etherboot, did you get that?

Subject: Etherboot 5.2.4 + LinuxBIOS + e1000

I need help with using Etherboot with LinuxBIOS to boot a Linux 
kernel over a network using an e1000 NIC and DHCP + TFTP. Using an old 
EEPro100 payload, I can get this far:

Welcome to elfboot, the open sourced starter.

Searching for linuxbios tables...

.

bus 04, function 30, vendor 1002, device 4752
Probing...[EEPRO100]No adapter found

Here is the output when I run "file" on the eepro100 payload:
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically 
linked, stripped

This payload won't work since I have an e1000, not an eepro100. But when 
I use the e1000 ELF file generated by Etherbot 5.2.4 (make bin/e1000.elf) 
I get almost no useful output to help in troubleshooting:

Welcome to elfboot, the open sourced starter.

Loading Etherboot version: 5.2.4

Here is the output when I run "file" on this payload:
ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically 
linkedfile: corrupted section header size.

Perhaps someone on this list can help me figure out what I am doing 
wrong?
