I'm a colleague of Lynn's and wanted to put my old C experience to use here, but have hit a snag. I'm attempting to insert my hook early in iPXE's execution through __init_fn but it never executes. The debug text strings don't even appear in the final binary unless I stuff the code into

Re: [ipxe-devel] iPXE MemoryAllocationLib.c assert failures on Dell PowerEdge

Any device that has some kind of SNP driver from elsewhere "is supported" in EFI mode so even Intel X710 should work, but might not be able to use some advanced features such as VLAN in iPXE We want to have full native support for X710 series but not sure if anyone have provided funding for that

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Christian, The possibility of using a different NIC was suggested to us either being the Intel X520 8086:10fb or Broadcom 57412 14e4:16d6. Are either of those NICs compatible with the iPXE stack, I attempted to look online to see if they were compatible

Re: [ipxe-devel] iPXE MemoryAllocationLib.c assert failures on Dell PowerEdge

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential The X710 being used is a PCI card and not integrated on the mainboard at all. We are using the same firmware versions as the customer which is the latest available from our network development team. I attempted to compile the ipxe.efi internally with the

Re: [ipxe-devel] iPXE MemoryAllocationLib.c assert failures on Dell PowerEdge

There is not yet any native drivers for 8086:1572 in iPXE which strengthens the possibility of it being the NIC firmware / SNP driver that is at fault. Does the NIC have separate firmware ROM or is it included in the mainboard firmware? and have you made sure that you are using the same firmware

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential I really appreciate the quick reply, no we have not attempted to use the snponly.efi only the compiled ipxe.efi provided by our end user. To date, this error has only occurred within the end user environment, I have been unable to recreate it in my lab.

From: Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2018 15:05:57 Good morning, I'm reaching out to the iPXE dev team for some possible assistance with an issue one of our customers is seeing. Due to confidentiality, I cannot share details but I'm hoping to leverage some of the community
