-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, | Is anyone on this list able to test i386 / tftp and see if it's really | broken? If so, this is an "important" bug. It's easy enough to fix | -- e.g, just disable TFTP on i386 if we have to. i have written this to the bug a few days ago: i had a look at the cvs-sources of boot-floppies: IMHO the bug is in /tftpboot.sh: - ----- section where root.bin is appended ----- # append rootimage to the kernel if [ "$arch" = sparc ]; then tilo -o $tftpimage.tmp $tftpimage $rootimage mv $tftpimage.tmp $tftpimage elif [ "$arch" = arm ]; then if (echo $tftpimage | grep -q cats); then catsboot $tftpimage.tmp $tftpimage $rootimage mv $tftpimage.tmp $tftpimage fi if (echo $tftpimage | grep -q netwinder); then cat $rootimage >>$tftpimage fi elif [ "$arch" = "mips" -o "$arch" = "mipsel" ]; then mips-specials/addinitrd $tftpimage $rootimage $tftpimage.tmp mv $tftpimage.tmp $tftpimage fi - ----- end section ----- a root.bin is only appended to sparc, arm, mips and mipsel. so the bootfloppies should be broken on all other platforms.
