Hi Kevin et al, I'm trying to do a GPXE boot from seabios with coreboot on m57sli, and I'm not getting very far. I'm using git/svn head for GPXE, seabios and coreboot.
I've tried various kernels - 2.6.22, 2.6.24, 2.6.27, 2.6.28 and 2.6.30 (all ubuntu prebuilt kernels). With 2.6.30, I get absolutely nothing, the kernel just hangs without output. That's with the multi-segment patched mkelfImage or with the ordinary older mkelfImage. With 2.6.28-13-generic I get (manually copied, so there might be transcription errors in this...): BUG: Int 14: CR2 ffffb0f0 EDI 00000000 ESI 00000000 EBP c072bf3c ESP c072bf1c EBX 00000046 EDX 0000000e ECX 00000000 EAX ffffb0f0 err 00000000 EIP c0119891 CS 00000060 flg 00010046 Stack: c011a26e 00000046 00000046 00000000 c072bf48 c0118a66 00f3390c c072bf60 c04fcb2f c05f62e0 c07dba60 00f3390c 00000000 c072bfb8 c073b44c c05eb8b0 00800000 00000000 00f3390c 00000000 c05f2c18 00100000 00000000 008760ab With 2.6.27-14-generic I get PANIC: early exception 0e rip 10:ffffffff8022d621 error 0 cr2 ffffffff5fc0f0 I found some references online that that panic might be caused by a kernel bug, fixed in 2.6.27.2. However, the same kernel boots fine if booted directly from seabios (from disk). In fact, *all* the kernels I tried boot fine from disk. So is GPXE doing something funky here, or is there something else going on?
