How to get very old 3c905b with iPXE to work?
Hi there,
I do have a very old (probably 12 years+) PCI-style 3com 3c905b with eprom-socket, PCI device is 10b7:9055.

I burned iPXE to an EEPROM and put this into the socket and booted, but after the inital message (Ctrl-B stuff) it crashes. When I press Ctrl-B, here is what it says:

Code:
PXE (http://ipxe.org) 00:08.0 3000 PCI 2.10 PnP PMM +00420000+00431000 3000

iPXE (PCI 00:08.0) starting execution...1B101B10 00420CF4 00000722
Installation failed - cannot continue

Could it be, that this NIC is way to old for iPXE? It used to work with the old etherboot, but the old rom-o-matic is gone.

... Any hints as where to seek the problem? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hegi.
