Problems with via velocity not solved yet?

[m***@meitzner.net]

Hi there,

today I tried some netbooting via gPXE from an Abis AV8 Mainboard which has a via-velocity onboard NIC. I've experienced the TX-Timeout problem just like it is described here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.etherboot.user/5655/

DHCP and the NIC work in all other settings like local or usb boot.

Any news on that front?

TIA, Martin

We use this hardware with an older version of gPXE, but the newest
version of gPXE fails in the same way that you describe. I don't know
if it is related but I had the same problem with the same hardware
with the kernel earlier, and it was just a .config issue on my side
(didn't know that ACPI needed to be enabled...):
