[syslinux] Problems with eepro100 or BroadCom NetXtreme and s yslinux 2.04

[Michael Bendzick]

This sounds kind of like what happened with me for earlier attempts at using
syslinux.  Skip using HPA's tools entirely and dd if=vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0
bs=1440k count=1 and make sure that the kernel runs from a floppy disk.
There'll be no file system or anything, but you'll make sure that your
kernel isn't faulty.  If it doesn't execute, then you can avoid the
syslinux/pxelinux variable.

There are no messages which got printed out except the dots for loading
the Kernelimage.

Something like that between the lines of "-":
-----------------------------------
boot:
Loading linux ..........................................
-----------------------------------

Tomorrow I will check it again and send better infos.
At home I have not such a system and I have no access to the RSB-Board
of the RX300 from home.

Is there something like a verbose mode in pxelinux?
