Re: tftp kernel retrieval failure




i think i found the problem,
i unpacked the etherboot src into a new directory
i then did the following
make
make clean
make
first.linux is now a 0 length file.

i believe i ran into an smp race condition during the build.  i got lazy
and aliased make to make -j2 while in the midst of building kernels.

(still doesn't clarify why it chose first-dos (and occasionally
first-fdos) during tags using mknbi-linux - i'll take a look at the perl
script & see if notice something)

thanks for your assistance!
