Here are the results:<BR>
<BR>
I took my known working hard drive and stuck it in the device to test with filo.<BR>
The results were the same! Meaning a known working kernel & intird on <BR>
my hard drive failed at the initrd portion, again with the crc error.<BR>
<BR>
I'm now going to try a basic etherboot test without filo to see if I can read off of the<BR>
hard drive, just as a baseline.<BR>
<BR>
Any other ideas would be appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>

<FONT COLOR="#737373" SIZE="3">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? Here is<BR>
my dump of the readelf -a. <BR>

Hi,<BR>
<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 SRC="cid:image001.gif@01C4680F.A67462E0" WIDTH="16" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="middle" ALT=";)" 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>
