Hi, I am trying to accomplish a remote load of redboot, unsucessfully so far, using the RPL net boot mechanism (have an old HP iron here).
Here is what I have done: - template i386/redboot - import redboot_ROM.ecm - change startup type to "RAM", save conf - build - objcopy -Obinary redboot.elf redboot.bin I am using rpld-1.7 on a Linux box, the rpld conf specifies a load and execute address of 0x10800 (got the address by objdump'ing the elf file: c-i386-redboot-RAM_install/bin/redboot.elf: file format elf32-i386 Disassembly of section .text: 00108000 <_start>: 108000: e4 64 in $0x64,%al .... I could load other images using the rpld, but not this one. Building a and execing a floppy image has worked as well as netloading e.g. a memtest binary image. The BIOS spits out an error code of 0xAD and says 'RPL halted' followed by booting from the disk. Thus I am suspecting there's something wrong with the redboot image? Could it be that the redboot.elf must be loaded by an ELF-capable bootloader and using the .bin converted from the redboot.elf makes no sense? Thank you! jimmy. ____________________________________________________________________ Sarah Kreuz, die DSDS-Siegerin der Herzen, mit ihrem eindrucksvollen Debütalbum "One Moment in Time". http://produkte.web.de/go/05/ -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
