Dear list, I am somewhat new at least to the internals of GRUB and therefore have a hard time getting some issues sorted out.
What I am trying to achive is to have a new server boot from the network with GRUB that has two NICs: - 3Com 3C940 (on board of the Asus A7V600 motherboard, Linux says 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c940 1000Base? (rev 12)) - Intel Gigabit (Linux says: 00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)) I have downloaded GRUB 0.93 but neither card is supported. Therefore I did some searching on the mailing list and got even more confused. So I wonder: - GRUB is using Etherboot's drivers. Etherboot has a driver for e1000 (which I believe is my Intel card). But someone reports that it is not just a matter of moving it in. - Someone else writes that he compiles GRUB with --enable-e1000. I cannot find this option. I even checked out the CVS version, but could not find it. - Someone else is posting a patch to GRUB 0.94. I can only find 0.93 in the CVS. Or is 0.94 == CVS HEAD? But then again, in the CVS head, no --enable-e1000. Also I have a hard time believing that nobody ever had the problem to boot with GRUB through any of the recent and widely sold Gigabit Ethernet cards. Can anyone point me to 0.94, let me know how to integrate the e1000 driver or give me any other useful hint?
