Summary: net_bootp error: no network card found Project: GNU GRUB Submitter: gharig Submitted: Sat 10 Dec 2022 12:01:59 AM UTC Category: Booting Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: George Harig Originator Email: gha...@comcast.net Open/Closed: Open Release: other Release: Discussion Lock: Any Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat 10 Dec 2022 12:01:59 AM UTC By: George Harig <gharig> Hi All, So I have a winsystem C407 PC104 machine, a Hard drive with 3 prtitions on it, #1 is linux etx4, #2 is linux swap and #3 is vFat UEFI (with Grub on it), I also have a USB drive that is set up to UEFI boot, both UEFI drives (hard drive and usb) have GRUB2 version 2.06. I used grub-install to generate the EFI/BOOT files using Tinycore PureCore64, which is a linux 64bit distro. So first, from what I can tell, the Grub boot loader works, and it works great, on both the hard drive and USB. I can not complain, Tinycore 64 is the OS that gets loaded every time. However, when I am at the GRUB prompt and enter the command net_bootp I get the error: no network cards found. I have in my grub.cfg to load the following modules using insmod: net, efinet, tftp, http and a few others. I have also manually loaded the modules. >From what I have read, I have the idea that I should be able to access a tftp or http server from the grub command line. Which would be totally awesome. And would solve a lot of issues for me if it does in fact work the way I think it should. My goal is to let GRUB2 handle the remote booting, verses having the BIOS handle the PXE booting. When I run the command net_ls_cards at the Grub prompt, no cards are returned. The network card dose work, I know this because I am able to PXE netboot from the machine. The hardware I'm using is Winsystem C407 PC104 card with E3825 2 core, 1.33 GHz IntelĀ® i210 Gigabit Ethernet port (1 gigabit per second, GbE) serial ports 24 Digital I/O channels Any help is appreciated Thanks gharig _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63498> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
