Hi
thanks for testing.
Can you please specify the error code printed with the timeout
message? I wonder if it's a dhcp timeout or a link-up timeout.
Please also tell us the way you are loading gPXE(i.e. gpxe.dsk,
eepro100.iso, etc). If you are using a multi-driver image(like
gpxe.<type>), please try a single-driver image, like eepro100.dsk.

If you can capture the output from a serial console, please enable
gPXE's serial console in config/console.h and build gPXE with
debugging options from the eepro100 driver:

make bin/eepro100.dsk DEBUG=eepro100

You can put the output at http://etherboot.pastebin.com

Thanks
Thomas
