Problem PLOP 5.0.11 option PCI ROM

[Gelip]

I making PCI option ROM from file plpbt.bin for Soltek SL-75DRV4. Config is like at attached picture. I making option ROM like this (need copy plpbt.bin to rom directory):

Code Select Expand

C:\Program Files\PLOP 5.0.11\rom>plpbtrom -vendorid 0x10ec -deviceid 0x8139 -compress plpbt.bin PCI.rom
Inserted PCI.rom to AWARD BIOS and flash to mobo:

Code Select Expand

cbrom bios.bin /pci PCI.rom

PLOP working good but is one problem with program Symantec Drive Image running over ethernet with gPXE 1.0.1 from floppy image .vfd (this is making of Symantec Boot Disk Builder).

PC automatic restart after DOS config network :-( Maybe this is MOUSE problem?

I tested it and problem is only if run program over PLOP from BIOS. Working good if PLOP running from other media or directly from gPXE media.

OK, I test, test and test  and ... I know how :-)

Need make PCI option ROM with -forceINT option e.g. for Realtek 8139 NIC:

Code Select Expand

plpbtrom -vendorid 0x10ec -deviceid 0x8139 -forceINT -compress plpbt.bin PCI.rom
After this Drive Image working. Only boot gPXE from USB (PCI card) not working and PC restart.

1. In BIOS setup boot from LAN
2. Insert BootCD gPXE or Floppy gPXE
3. In other PC in LAN run server PXE with TFTP and DHCP
4. Turn on PC
5. PC automatic start to PLOP configured 5s boot from HDD-0
6. During 5s select other media e.g. CDROM
7. PC boot from gPXE CDROM
8. PC receive IP from DHCP and pxelinux.0 from TFTP
9. Menu - default - appears
10. You can now select program to run

:-)

P.S. Now we need to add two modules plop & gpxe that do not use external media for gPXE -> this thread
