Title: Boot PLOP from Lan 8139 bootrom problem.(ok!)
Post by: henry136 on June 02, 2010, 17:03:06 PM
I have flash (plpbt-5.0.11) plop pci rom to pci lancard 8139 bootrom and it work fine in AWARD bios mainboard.
But when I insert the lancard to another mainboard with AMI bios,
it is no work. the boot Main menu cannot start.(cmos have set BOOT from LAN)
I have try two different AMI mainboard, it is also no work.

I have also install the plpbt-5.0.11 to Harddisk, it work fine.

Have anybody with same problem?

And then it clean screen very fast, and go to boot HD.

I have no change int19h setting in cfg.The hotkey is off.
The parameter -forceINT and -INT18 is bios setting or cfg plpbtrom ?
