Hello,
While trying to boot gPXE from a USB memory stick
on a computer with VIA C3 CPU I got stuck
on a "frozen computer", the system hangs for unknown reason.
Now I asking what my options are,
to get a succesfull boot on that low power computer.
What I have working is a develop system
where I have succesfull booting gPXE with
kvm -m 256 -hda /dev/sdb
( kvm: qemu didn't work on my x86_64 sytem
/dev/sdb: to make sure I have a working USBstick for the target )
To me it seems that the most value thing,
would be a "Hello World" printed with BIOS routines.
It would mean that one can see that the gPXE code
came alive.
Right now it is not clear if the BIOS is executing
or that the BIOS allready did handover execution to gPXE.
