<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=宋体><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:12.0pt'>Hi,<br>
<br>
I am unable to get my kernel & initrd off of the usb stick. I
was reading<br>
through the documents and came across this line in README.etherboot_in_filo: <br>
You can not use filo and ide_disk at the same time.<br>
<br>
Can you tell me what this means? Do I need to rebuild filo without
IDE<br>
support to get USB support?<br>
<br>
Just to recap: My kernel & initrd fails as the initrd execution
complaining of<br>
a bad CRC when I use the elf as a payload to load with with filo. I then
try<br>
uda1:/kernel initrd=/boot/initrd root=/dev/sda1 and I get those td
errors. I then<br>
tried your ramfs.elf and I get the same behavior are my elf image with the CRC<br>
complaining when the initrd portion is executed. Note, I have confirmed
my elf<br>
works with etherboot, just not filo yet....<br>
<br>
The CRC error makes me think that the image did not get loaded correctly<br>
by the elf boot. Can you confirm you used Eric's mkelfImage2-5?

<br>
Yes, I did, but I don't have a DHCP environment so it kept searching at
the DHCP phase.<br>
<br>
This problem is odd. I can boot my elf fine with etherboot, but
not with filo. I can boot<br>
my kernel fine with filo, but not the initrd. I can even boot your kernel
of the ram.elf you<br>
sent me, but when it hits the initrd it fails with the same error as mine.<br>
<br>
I suspect either my filo is not configured like yours or that there is a
problem loading a<br>
mulitpart elf (kernel & initrd in filo). I'm confused as to why filo
didn't just use the etherboot<br>
portion of elf_load. It could be you were on the, "bleeding"
edge? <img width=16 height=16 id="_x0000_i1026"
src="cid:image001.gif@01C4680F.A67462E0" alt=";)" align=middle border=0> <br>
<br>
Can you tell me how much memory you have in your working system? I
have just<br>
one cpu and 512meg memory. Curious if loading it high & it runs out
of memory or<br>
something like that.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
