Remote booting linux with rpld
I am trying to net boot a linux kernel (version 2.6.7) in an Embedded-PC at work, using rpld, that works perfectly with Novell, but seems to have some problems with linux...
I compiled the kernel to only support IDE (as it is the only feature the embedded-PC needs), and with bzImage format. In the rpld, i wrote:
HOST {
ethernet = 00:0b:ab:0b:2e:54;
FILE {
path="/tftpboot/bzImage";
offset=0x0;
load=0x8AC70;
linux;
};
execute=0x8AC70;
}
To find the exact load and execute adresses, i did as explained here:
http://www.huweb.hu/maques/rpl.htm
The problem is, it does not seem to boot properly. In fact, it doesnt boot at all. It only shows this lines on the screen before stoping:
RPL_ROM_FFC: 2
RPL_ROM_SFC: 1
RPL_ROM_SEQ: 685
RPL_ROM_ERR: BADA ; RPL HALTED
So, it seems there is a problem with some address... But what address? Or simply the problem is that i can't boot a linux kernel with rpld, that only works with Novell?
If anyone has some information related, or knows what I am doing wrong, I would be eternally thankful if he can post it here ^^
Thanks a lot in advance.
