Re: bnx2 netboot FW problem

[Luis <dergrunepunkt@gmail.com>]

I found the solution to the problem:

The problem seems to be the lack of udev binaries and libs, so I packed 
them up in the initd.

Here's the step-by-step I used:

mkdir /tmp/kk

cd /tmp/kk

zcat /tftpboot/nbi_img/initrd-pxe.3.2.0-4-amd64.img | cpio -i

cp -a /lib/udev lib

find . | cpio -H newc -o>  initrd.cpio

gzip initrd.cpio

cp initrd.cpio.gz /tftpboot/nbi_img/initrd-pxe.3.2.0-4-bnx2_fixed-amd64.img

ln -sf /tftpboot/nbi_img/initrd-pxe.3.2.0-4-bnx2_fixed-amd64.img  /tftpboot/nbi_img/initrd-pxe.img


Cheers!
