Have a prob with netboot

Hello, excuse my english but i speak spanish

I tried to ran Corman ethernet with boot chip
but in the WS booting never run sinit
Any expirience?
/etc/confg/netboot
4 f=ws.corman

/boot/build/ws.corman is equal to ethernet boot file



Thanks in advance

Thent hat is probably your problem, you need to start

the use the corman driver (that is on a disk that came
with the card), inide the /boot/build/ws.corman file.

Thanks in advance

I was create ws.corman with a driver to corman
but i if i put sin command inside the ws.corman file
that command run Ok
but never start the os with sinit

What do you mean never start sinit. I’m sure it does start it
but if the network driver that is started inside the image
doesn’t work properly or isn’t setup with the right
data (netmap) then sinit can’t load the rest of the OS
from the network.

Your problem is probably related to the network driver not working
right. Try starting the driver with -v. Also make sure you have
enough license.

A common problem that leads to this kind of symptom is an interrupt
conflict. Our network boot ROM does not use interrupts, so it’s not
affected by an interrupt conflict. However, the network driver (either
Net.ether1000 or our Net.ctne2000) needs interrupts to function, so things
grind to a halt once the operating system image starts execution.

If you are using our ISA Ethernet card (CT-E101), you can manually configure
a different interrupt (usually 5 or 2 are good choices). If it’s a PCI card
(CT-E110), you’ll have to delve into the BIOS settings for PCI interrupts to
try to force it to do something more sane.

Try playing with the position of the cards in the PCI bus. Put the corman card
in the highest or lowest slot. I have had a scsi card conflict with a network
card in such a way that plug and prayers were not answered until I plug in the
right order. Basically experimented with random slot positions for various
cards till things worked. Don’t know if that’s your problem here, but I thought
I’d give a shout just in case.
