greetings, greetings.
i was testing out gPXE today using qemu on a debian system (0.12.4+dfsg-2),
with gPXE roms built from 1.0.1-rc1, and i noticed an issue when using the
virtio network driver.
if there was only one virtio network card, gPXE would work fine.
if i configured qemu to use two virtio network cards, gPXE would very briefly
display the following message and reboot:
I/O address 0x0000c020, IRQ #11
MAC address 52:54:00:12:34:56
WARNING: Using legacy NIC wrapper on 52:54:00:12:34:56
with two cards, it doesn't get as far as displaying:
gPXE 1.0.1-rc1 -- Open Source Boot Firmware -- http://etherboot.org
Features: AoE HTTP iSCSI DNS TFTP bzImage COMBOOT ELF Multiboot NBI PXE PXEXT
other network cards i tested e1000, pcnet, ne2k_pci seemed to handle multiple
network cards without problem.
live well,
vagrant
