etherboot using Accton Cheetah PCI Adaptor




(I have etherboot working fine on another configuration, which uses an 
old 486 with a wd8003 card... - used this for testing setup. ).

From the log files on the server :

Jan  7 09:13:44 server dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:00:e8:84:02:3d via eth0
Jan  7 09:13:44 server dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.1.1.29 to 00:00:e8:84:02:3d via eth0
Jan  7 09:13:44 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.1.1.29 from 00:00:e8:84:02:3d via eth0
Jan  7 09:13:44 server dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.1.1.29 to 00:00:e8:84:02:3d via eth0
Jan  7 09:14:08 server tftpd[830]: tftpd: trying to get file: Nö^I 
Jan  7 09:14:08 server tftpd[830]: tftpd: serving file from /tftpboot 
Jan  7 09:14:30 server tftpd[833]: tftpd: trying to get file: Nö^I 
Jan  7 09:14:30 server tftpd[833]: tftpd: serving file from /tftpboot 
Jan  7 09:14:43 server tftpd[842]: tftpd: trying to get file: Nö^I 
Jan  7 09:14:43 server tftpd[842]: tftpd: serving file from /tftpboot 

On the console, it says it is trying to get the correct file :

/tftpboot/vmlinuz.diskless

Where is a good place to look to debug this one...
The server side seems to be fine, its as if the return request is
being corrupted :

A packet sniff/tcpdump gives :

17:43:51.700377 < debug.atlantek.com.au.2385 > server.atlantek.com.au.tftp: 25 RRQ "NM-v^I"

Any suggestions, welcome ?

(I would suggest the problem is in the rtl8139.lzrom driver, 
I load it onto floppy using :

[root@debug1 src-32]# cat floppyload.bin rtl8139.lzrom > /dev/fd0H1440

(I have had working ones with old WD and ne controllers.
