This patch writen by Peter Jones and Mike Christie expands on the iBFT firmware driver to support v1.03 of the spec. The spec in question is available at:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/systems/support/bladecenter/iscsi_boot_firmware_table_v1.03.pdf Linux kernel has support for the iBFT 1.0 spec and this update to 1.03 adds three more things: - There is now a ACPI table either called 'iBFT' or 'IBFT' that should be parsed. - If running with UEFI, only look at the ACPI table. - If not found within ACPI tables, fall back to the old mechanism of scanning memory for the signature. It has been tested with gPXE and also a real hardware (Mike, did I get that right?) _______________________________________________ gPXE-devel mailing list [email protected] http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe-devel
