Thank you for running these tests. I think this has narrowed down the problem. PCIAPI_DIRECT talks straight to the hardware to access PCI config space. PCIAPI_PCBIOS calls into the BIOS in order to access PCI config space. We need to look at what Bochs BIOS and SeaBIOS are doing. > I could not make it booting from the physical machine.

The following AMI BIOS bug has recently been reported: http://support.etherboot.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=67 I would like for the ISO boot properly on your system. If you have time we can debug this issue, too. Stefan _______________________________________________ gPXE-devel mailing list [email protected] http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe-devel
