etherboot 3.2: NE2000-32 hangs

[Gerhard Zuber <zuber@berlin.snafu.de>]

hi,

sorry if this is possibly off-topic.

I use NE2000-Clones with a RTL8019A chip. it is eeprom-configurable,
no pnp (i486 ISA PC).

In Etherboot 3.1 I used the 32-bit-code for the bootprom (ne2000.rom).
all worked fine.

In Etherboot 3.2 the with the 32-bit-bootprom (ne2000.rom) after the 
initial message the prom is trying to detect the card. at this
point the system hangs (and the content of the CMOS-RAM is lost).

So I have to use the 16-bit-code. This works, but has less features.

Has anyone an idea where the difference is?

thanx in advance.

Sincerely Yours / Mit freundlichen Grüßen:   Gerhard Zuber
