Matt,
We discussed your problem and the consensus here is that the 3com
drivers are trying to configure your eepro100 for some strange reason. I
am assuming that you have one and only one adapter on this node, and it is
the integrated ethernet, and that you have no other NICs. I think we're
going to have to build a custom bzImage for you without the 3com drivers to
see what happens. Since I cannot build the kernel directly, I'm going to
ask one of our friends at Oak Ridge National Lab to build the kernel and
post it here... I'll get back to you, hopefully later today, probably very
late your time.. .
regards, Rich

Subject: Re: [Oscar-users] Another network booting question sorry
Hi Richard,
Well I think I'm back where I started but I know more now. I used lsmod
on the client and the device driver is eepro100. So I made a etherboot
disk with the command make bin32/eepro100.lzfd0 . When I boot the client
with this disk tftp works, it loads vmlinuz but then fails to configure the
network card and gives the same message as before:-
0 3c515 cards found
cs89x0: no cs8900 or cs8920 detected. Be sure to DISABLE PnP with SETUP
IP-Config:No Network devices available
Partition Check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
Root-NFS:No NFS server available, giving up.
VFS: Unable to mount root fs via NFS, trying floppy.
VFS: insert root floppy and press enter.
As is obvious from my previous emails this is all very new to me. But this
error message seem to imply it is trying to configure the network card with
cs89x0 and not eepro100, is there anyway I can change the vmlinuz to
specify the eepro100 driver should be used, or am I getting the wrong end
of the stick?
Sorry for all the question but I've very keen to get this to work.
Thanks,
Matt
