Hi all, I got only one reply, off-list, which led me to a solution. Thanks, Istvan!
His suggestion was to not apply the dhcp-hack patch. This didn't work. But: manually deleting the dhcp-hack part from grub-0.94-1-0002.patch (inside grub-diskless-patch-2.tar.gz) before applying it produced a tree that does work. 0.94 + grub-0.94-diskless-1.patch.gz + grub-0.94-diskless-fixtg3.patch doesn't work, as well as same + grub-0.94-diskless-dhcphack.patch. Both get stuck with: ====================================================================== Probing pci nic... [tg3-5703X]Ethernet addr: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Tigon3 [partno(none) rev 1002 PHY(5703)] (PCIX:100Mhz:64-bit) Link is up at 100Mbps, full duplex. TX RX flow control transmit timed out tg3_stop_block timed out, ofs=lx enable_bit=00002400 ====================================================================== 0.93 + the 3 patches inside grub-diskless-patch-2.tar.gz causes it to hang with a different message, which I currently don't have (but can provide, if it can help). As I wrote above, same MINUS the dhcp-hack does work. Just to make things clear, I also put the working tree in <http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~didi/grub-0.93-diskless-patch-2-no-dhcp-hack.tar.gz> I will be able to reboot this machine without notice for a few more days (maybe a few more weeks). If anyone wants me to test anything on it, tell me. BTW - it's an HP DL380, tigon3 onboard, connected to a 100Mb switch. We don't have a switch with a copper Gbit port to test against. -- Didi _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
