===== Week 8 [ Mon 12 Jul 2010 - Sun 18 Jul 2010 ] ===== ==== Day 1 [ Mon 12 Jul 2010 ] ==== Git commit: [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/andreif/gpxe.git;a=commit;h=a8e9adfd4a8e3775c227a5f8f8138ef9d2a9d922|a8e9adfd4a8e3775c227a5f8f8138ef9d2a9d922]] I started out today by creating a new local branch and removing any non-critical code, constantly comparing what I had with the old driver. Eventually I reached a point where the new driver was very very similar to the old one, yet it still didn't work. I then remembered that Marty suggested that there might be alignment issues. And indeed there were. Using ''malloc_dma()'' and an alignment of 32 got the driver working and I finally booted a PXELINUX + DSL combo. Yay :) Tomorrow I'll post some speed comparisons between the new and the old driver and start cleaning up the code.
