Hi all,

ELC: ROM Rev. 2.4, 40 MB memory, SUNW 4/25

I am using tftp to start my ELC with RH6.0. The ELC doesn't
have drives (it has a disk). My Intel Linux RH 6.0 box serves as
a tftp server (I also tried using nfs but it had the same result).
When I type 'boot net' the ELC starts receiving chunks of the
kernel until  my tcpdump ends with (walhalla serves tftp, nirvana
is my ELC):

[..]
21:57:43.332730 nirvana.60839 > walhalla.1024: udp 4
21:57:43.332974 walhalla.1024 > nirvana.60839: udp 516
21:57:43.360286 nirvana.60839 > walhalla.1024: udp 4
21:57:43.360531 walhalla.1024 > nirvana.60839: udp 516
21:57:43.388237 nirvana.60839 > walhalla.1024: udp 4
21:57:43.388476 walhalla.1024 > nirvana.60839: udp 4
21:57:43.396997 nirvana.60839 > walhalla.1024: udp 4

The ELC ends with "1c6a00", then says: "watchdog reset", followed
by "window underflow". Apparently the ELC cannot boot the received
kernel. Does it expect another 516 - 4 = 512  bytes???

This is my tftpboot directory. I downloaded the latest image.
"tftp32.img.old" is copied from the RedHat SPARC CD.

Any help appreciated!
