<TITLE>Still not having success with SM P4DPE</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Ron and James, thanks for clueing me in on the fallback image stuff. I'm still not quite doing something right though, it seems.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>My config files are below. I based these on the samples in mainboard/supermicro/p4dpe. The fallback image is 81k and contains the etherboot payload...this doesn't seem right to me but I don't know what else to do. If I don't specify the etherboot payload, it tries to use vmlinux which is much, much bigger.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So I run the config script on both files, then go to the fallback/ and primary/ directories and run make, and I get a primary romimage of 458752 bytes and a fallback image of 81920 bytes. That doesn't seem right. What am I doing wrong? Oh and though I was doubtful, I did do a "cat primary/romimage fallback/romimage > finalimage" and burned the final image. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Also, from the looks of the makeprocess my two image files are basically the same binary stuff but one has a lot of null padding. They both contain the eepro100 elf image and linuxbios.rom...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Anyone see what is wrong with this picture?</FONT>
