Thanks for the suggestion. I found the datasheet for the 82598EB controller here: http://download.intel.com/design/network/datashts/319282.pdf The PXE configuration words on my controller are all 0xff, which is invalid according to the datasheet (though much other stuff has appropriate values). So all I can figure is that the Intel boot code hasn't been programmed into the NIC. The datasheet also mentions control-S as the startup menu trigger, and I tried hitting that during POST but no dice. >> Any other ideas? > > Unload the linux driver, and use a recent qemu/kvm to passthrough the > PCI device, and then boot the DOS floppy image within qemu/kvm? Oof. Might work, but may be hard to get there from a live CD boot. Dell, this is lame. Very lame. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
