I tried creating a ROM to flash my Intel PRO/1000 MT NIC with gPXE a wireless boot but I get stuck at creating a Boot Disk. I configured it on Ubuntu 11. Below are the steps I use/d:
lspci 02:06.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02) lspci -n -s 02:06.0 02:06.0 0200: 8086:100e (rev 02) #etherboot :http://etherboot.org/ <gpxe1user> gpxebot: lspci 8086:100e <gpxebot> e1000_82540 I downloaded the gpxe src and compiled it. I can create working ISO's with it and can boot wirelessly with an embedded script. I used a CD. Now I want to flash the ROM on my NIC with this script. cd Downloads/gpxe/src make bin/8086100e.rom EMBEDDED_IMAGE=wireless.gpxe wireless.gpxe file contents: #!gpxe set net0/ssid MYWIFIAP set net0/key MYWIFIKEY autoboot cp bin/8086100e.rom bin/8086100e.iba # This is done to refresh with a clean "dosboot.img" cp /home/myfolder/Downloads/dosboot.img . mcopy -i dosboot.img bin/8086100e.iba :: # IBAUtil.exe was automatically extracted when I downloaded PROBOOT.exe mcopy -i dosboot.img /home/myfolder/Downloads/APPS_intel/IBAUtil.exe :: For USB stick, do this: sudo dd if=dosboot.img of=/dev/sdc1 USB stick contents: 8086100e.iba AUTOEXEC.BAT (0 bytes) COMMAND.COM CONFIG.SYS (0 bytes) IBAUtil.exe KERNEL.SYS For CD, do this, then burn ISO: mkisofs -b dosboot.img -o dosboot.iso dosboot.img CD contents after burning the ISO: boot.cat dosboot.img Neither USB stick nor CD work when booting. The screen is just black with a blinking underscore. I've tried them both on several machines. What can I do to get around this? Thanks, JC
