Hello, I have been trying to get an iMac(12,2) to boot with iPXE (because we install all of our Linux desktops with PXE+Kickstart and Macs are a painful exception).
Its on-board BMC57765 is happily working under Linux (SL5.7) with the tg3 drivers so I was hoping to have a chance with iPXE. I have added the PCI ids to the tg3 sources : diff --git a/src/drivers/net/tg3.c b/src/drivers/net/tg3.c index e1562d4..90177b2 100644 --- a/src/drivers/net/tg3.c +++ b/src/drivers/net/tg3.c @@ -3408,6 +3408,7 @@ PCI_ROM(0x14e4, 0x169d, "tg3-5789", "Broadcom Tigon 3 5789", 0), PCI_ROM(0x14e4, 0x16a6, "tg3-5702X", "Broadcom Tigon 3 5702X", 0), PCI_ROM(0x14e4, 0x16a7, "tg3-5703X", "Broadcom Tigon 3 5703X", 0), PCI_ROM(0x14e4, 0x16a8, "tg3-5704S", "Broadcom Tigon 3 5704S", 0), +PCI_ROM(0x14e4, 0x16b4, "tg3-57765", "Broadcom Tigon 3 57765", 0), PCI_ROM(0x14e4, 0x16c6, "tg3-5702A3", "Broadcom Tigon 3 5702A3", 0), PCI_ROM(0x14e4, 0x16c7, "tg3-5703A3", "Broadcom Tigon 3 5703A3", 0), PCI_ROM(0x14e4, 0x170d, "tg3-5901", "Broadcom Tigon 3 5901", 0), But it seems like this is not sufficient, since the driver probe fails : has mem a8400000 io 0 irq 11 device not enabled by BIOS! Updating PCI command 0006->0007 latency timer is unreasonably low at 0. Setting to 32. phy probe failed, err -741097531 Problem fetching invariants of chip, aborting. probe failed: No such device (http://ipxe.org/2c25403b) [copied by hand] so the question is, how big an effort do you think it could be to add support for the BCM57765? Is it something that someone with a little experience of kernel drivers could do in a day, given some suggestions?
