Re: BOOTP record too large




>> My bootptab file contains:

I suspect there is a bug in the startup segment (first-linux.S) when
scanning the bootp record and it runs past the end of the record or
thinks it has, from the address it computes. It's perhaps triggered
by the presence or ordering of some tags. If you can find the bug,
that would be good. From the source file, I see that the message is
used in two places, one where it thinks it has more than 16 NOP tags,
and another where it thinks it doesn't have enough memory. I suspect
the former. Maybe there is some other tag it doesn't know about and it
doesn't skip past it correctly and gets out of sync.
