Etherboot boot problem after jumping to boot code it restarts

Thu May 1 10:42:09 CEST 2003

What's in that patch is my config files.
You can make a valid elf-boot image from that version of etherboot with
"make bin32/sis900.ebi" and then use that as your payload. From what
you're showing me below, it looks like you're not using a valid payload
and the system is resetting. See how the very end looks like the very
beginning? That's because your system rebooted itself.
