Hey all. Can people _please_ go and test this (disk and net if possible) and tell me if their machine still works? The following changes have been made: 1) On 'znetboot' and 'znetboot.initrd', no longer give mkprep the -pbp option. This allows my PowerStack (PPCBUG) to netboot successfully. This _hopefully_ won't break anyone else tho.Why? You wanted to netboot from PPCBUG with PReP Network Boot disabled? My PowerStack's have been booting fine with the -pbp'ed image (one with the PReP header intact). We've been doing it this way for years now.Exactly.
[snip] Okay. I'm talking to Matt privately now, and this might have to do with my old (1.5) version of PPCBUG, which doesn't seem to have this option. So for now, forget about that part of the patch. Can people please go and test the rest of it tho? -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
