[gPXE-devel] what is undi.zrom in gPXE?

[oremanj at gmail.com]

Hi Sean,

A few things:

Etherboot is out of date and in maintenance mode only. Please use gPXE if you can, as it has many more features and fewer bugs. :-) If there's a specific reason you need to use Etherboot over gPXE, let us know; we'd like to fix it.

UNDI builds of Etherboot and gPXE are meant to be used in tandem with a preexisting vendor ROM that exposes an UNDI interface. Thus, the combination UNDI + ROM in the same build makes no sense. Etherboot and gPXE expose an UNDI interface no matter what, and in this case Etherboot finds and attempts to load *itself* as the underlying "real" vendor ROM. The results are predictably awful.

So what you really want is a ROM with a specific driver included (not UNDI). Also, consider using gPXE instead of Etherboot.

Happy hacking :-)
