 Hmmm, good question. I just assumed - these machines currently run an old
 version of coreboot with etherboot, which takes mkelfImage generated files.
 
 Will test and report back...

OK. For the record, it works perfectly if you use wraplinux. I guess there is
a bug somewhere in mkelfImage...

Thanks,

Just a note that wraplinux requires SeaBIOS.

[coreboot] m57sli, seabios and gpxe - kernel booting issues (BUG: INT 14 etc)

2009-07-07 Thread Ward Vandewege
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 b0f0
 EDI   ESI  EBP c072bf3c ESP c072bf1c
 EBX 0046  EDX 000e ECX  EAX b0f0
 err   EIP c0119891  CS 0060 flg 00010046
Stack: c011a26e 0046 0046  c072bf48 c0118a66 00f3390c

c05eb8b0
   0080  00f3390c  c05f2c18 0010 
008760ab

With 2.6.27-14-generic I get

  PANIC: early exception 0e rip 10:8022d621 error 0 cr2
5fc0f0

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?

Thanks,
Ward.

Can you send GPXE some other ELF files? Anything that works as a
payload with coreboot should do for a test. tint, invaders, coreinfo
whatever.
